Description
Hi, I'm Carole and I live with my husband Paul and our son Lucas near the medieval village Condat-sur-Vézère in the Périgord Noir, Dordogne. Together with our dog Faas, our cat Amy and 8 chickens 😊. We are originally from Holland and we came to live here in 2020. We love to make music (jazz, blues, swing, folk).
Our estate, consists of 6 buildings around a courtyard who were in bad shape when we came here. We are now working on one of the last buildings. As we are 72 and 57 years old we can not do all the work ourselves and need some help.
The area is really beautiful and has a lot of history. We live near the prehistorical caves of Lascaux in Montignac. The valley of the Vézère river containts plenty more historical sites and castles you can visit. You can go for long walks, biking trips and we have a swimming pool. Two nice towns in the neighbourhood are Terrasson-Lavilledieu and Montignac-Lascaux.
Hope to see you soon!
