Many people dream of spending more time in France
than just taking a holiday. To have a
place of your own as a base and have the time to wander off exploring without a
timetable , that’s the way to really discover a place. We’ve done this many
times and really enjoyed being able to live “like a local”…..buying fresh
produce at the many markets and taking it home to try out those dishes you’ve
experienced in local restaurants…….eating with the locals in their favourite
little bistros and routiers………discovering new wines through visits to local
producers at the source.

 |
| french onion soup , excellent on a cold winter's day |
 |
| tarte tatin - what more can one say ? |
And then there is all the history.

| Chateau de Commarque |
 |
| Chateau de Neuvic |
 |
| Abbaye de La Sauve-Majeur |
Having the time to explore by car or by foot…to
follow the paths less travelled and see the countryside through all seasons,
not just when it is full of tourists. That’s the real way to know a place.

Well, my friends Thida and Eric have just the
place for you. They have a wonderful house beside the Dordogne in our village.
In their garden is a renovated carriage house just waiting for someone with an
adventurous heart to rent for a longer stay , like a year or even more.
