We’re Vincent and Paul, a Dutch & English couple that had a chance meeting in Sydney Australia many years ago. We decided on our 25th anniversary together to up-sticks from The Netherlands and move to The Dordogne, because this region of France is not only stunningly beautiful and full to the brim with nature, but has outstanding food, wine, culture and history. Our aim is to offer you a memorable and stress-free stay in one of our comfortably styled gîtes so you can have the best getaway, and we’d be delighted to host you.
