Maison Saint-Aubin

What a wonderful week in your beautiful home! We have spent many a holiday in a French gîte and this one was our favourite! Domme is beautiful and we enjoyed la forêt des singes as well as a superb day on the Dordogne canoeing from Vitrac to Beynac. The days chilling by the pool were our favourite - such a brilliant place with a lot of peace and quiet.

Le Menique

Le Menique is a beautifully presented house situated in perfect seclusion in the countryside. The views from the house and the pool are breath taking with the summer room providing perfect shade should you have had enough of sun bathing.

Les Rocans

Just a quick note to say WOW - we are blown away by your house! It is amazing, we have travelled to France every year for about 10 years but already we know that this will be the best yet! Nothing has disappointed, just thrilled- we are keen cooks (eaters really) and your kitchen is perfect. Off to have a quick wander around the village before returning to cook our traditional first night supper of scallops and fresh prawns.
