about us

We moved full time to the Dordogne region of SW France in 2018, having owned a ‘maison de vacances’ in the area since 2015.

We spent our first full year here looking for a really special place to buy, where we could create a lovely gite that would enable others to share in the beauty of this wonderful region. We believe we have found it in Tremolat, right in the middle of the Perigord. We love living on the edge of such a beautiful village, still within walking distance of restaurants but, at the same time, in an area which is surrounded by nature and so peaceful.

While we have certainly not regretted the decision to leave our old lives in publishing and administration, we do miss our friends and family, and especially our grand-daughter, the newest family member – thank goodness for Zoom (other chatting networks are available!).

Please do let us know if you would like any information about our gite, the village of Tremolat or the Perigord Noir by using the contact form.

We look forward to welcoming you to Le Petit Abri very soon.
