As I settle in to my rentree after 3 magical months in France, I watched on the Today show, the last two mornings, segments on special vacation ideas women can take with their friends, siblings or mothers. I can tell you, if you are especially sick of the wet soggy weather in the East, then there is no better place to enjoy a long languid spring or fall than the Perigord (Lot and Dordogne).

I would like to remind you that if you want to create your very own memorable trip, nesting in a castle or wonderful private home away from home, we can tailor make a special experience for you and yours, just to your tastes and likings. Or, sign up for one of our organized programs. There is loads of opportunity within the structure of each program to create time and space for your own interests.

TWO wonderful aspects of spring in the area, for which we can thank mother nature, include, a very early beginning to the season and long long days of daylight. When I left my little coin, my neighbors and I were taking our evening stroll together and parting company, in daylight, at 10:15 pm. Walking around the house, viewing the valley as I closed each shutter and noting the time as 10:40 was nothing short of amazing.

So if private market tours, garden tours, golf, massage and wellness, secret and special walks or hikes lead by those in the know, painting, collage, making fois gras, you name it, appeal, then challenge us and we will make it happen for you.

Watch this space for my latest blog entries, written as spring was unfolding in this perfectly temperatured setting.

The region never ceases to amaze me, and I can guarantee you the same. The look of delight and awe upon my guest’s faces as we turned corners to see new and wonderful sights always confirms what I hold dear to my heart. This is a very special place- simple, still magic!

Come and see for yourself
