Pere Noel.....


The story goes that Pere Noel cannot go into a house without a chimney, so he enters the homes by hanging and climbing with a rope, in through the windows.

House for Rent - nestled amongst the vines

Imagine waking up every morning and looking out the window to this fabulous view.

This gorgeous house is surrounded by vines and yet is only a 7 minute drive to Bergerac and 10 minutes to the very lively bastide village of Eymet.

The house is spacious and has been tastefully furnished but has been empty for a while so is looking for a family to breathe life back into her again.

There is a spacious lounge, which has view of the vines from every window.


Another shot of the spacious lounge area.

View from the lounge looking across the vines.


There is a spacious kitchen which comes fully equipped with dish washer, fridge and oven.

As with most houses in France, the kitchen is the hub of the house and what a lovely hub this is.


There is a dining table with seats 6 comfortably and two beautiful hutch dressers full of gorgeous china ware.

The first of the 5 bedrooms is situated on the ground floor. This is a large bedroom and comes complete with queen sized bed and a single bed.


All that is needed is a colourful french quilt (boutis) and the room would be complete.

Another shot of this spacious yet charming bedroom.

No need to worry about storage as there is plenty with lots of cupboards and drawers in this room.


The ensuite bathroom is light and airy and has a charming salle de bain complete with panelled bath tub.


All that is required is some fabulous French bath foam and perhaps a few candles.....

There is a pool, which is at present not usable, as it requires a new liner.



There is even a gorgeous outbuilding to use as you wish........

The drive leading up to the house. Note this is in the process of being tidied up as it has become overgrown due to the fact that the house has not been habited for a while.

Fabulous place to eat....

Last Friday, I was lucky enough to be taken to La Tour des Vents restaurant which is a michelin starred restaurant, 20 minutes drive from Maison No. 20.

The food and views are superb and the service is second to none. It is one of the best meals that I have had in this area.

They have a fabulous website which is a must to visit as the photos of both the food and the views are out of this world.

I would also recommend a trip to Chateau Monbazillac which is a few minutes drive away as it is a great place to visit and learn about both the area and also the wonderful sweet white wines that the area is famous for.

A tres bientot,

Just a reminder that the candle lit tours are taking place this weekend, the firs tis the tour in English, on Friday night at 21h45.

The second is on Saturday night again meeting at 21h45 outside the tourist office and this one is in French.

This weekend is a great weekend to be in Eymet as there are many events taking place as part of the Medieval Festival including the banquet on Sunday night with costumes available for hire at the tourist office which is situated in the main square.
