Our amazing French country find

After a wet, rainy, miserable English summer, we made a last minute booking in sunny south west France. A secluded farmhouse set in the countryside with a private pool; just what we were after.

An escape from the rat race

Having spent 20 years holidaying in the Languedoc-Roussillon, the owner / architect bought this abandoned hamlet in 2003. With panoramic views of the Pyrenees – "where the sky comes down to your ankles" - it represented an ideal opportunity to create their own escape from the rat race in London. The main house has been rebuilt to provide a beautiful open plan ground floor area with a central fireplace. The original bergerie has been converted into a magnificent high ceilinged kitchen. Upstairs, beneath high beams, are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Read more...

Domaine du Château is dedicated to the natural beauty of Burgundy

The Domaine du Château sits among Burgundy vines in a peaceful vale to the south of Beaune. Since the late 1600's, the locals have called it the 'château', and while there were indeed Lords of Domaine du Château, the property was always more a baronial farm than a residence. It was, in fact, the winery for these local lords, as the surrounding vineyards, vast vaulted cellars and the imposing wine press in the dining hall attest. Today, Domaine du Château is a luxury manor house complex dedicated to the enjoyment of the food, the wine and the natural beauty of Burgundy. With six en-suite rooms in a compound around a courtyard within the acres of a walled park, the Domaine du Château offers modern comfort and quiet sophistication in a tranquil setting from a bygone time.

Manoir de Saux, A Long History

Manoir de Saux has been around for a long time. Just how long is difficult to know. It stands directly on the area's white limestone bedrock, while a superficial survey of its structure suggests that in its time, it has been at least three dwellings. Interestingly, there is no trace of the well or natural cistern that must have supplied water to the house. Read more...

Le Cube Part 2

Pure France’s visitors to Le Cube often choose the property because of its unique design in such an extraordinary location. Once inside, though, their attention shifts to the owner’s collection of contemporary art. The downstairs bedrooms feature original paintings by James Hull – an artist who, though heavily influenced by the St Ives school in the UK also worked in France toward the end of his life. In the main living space and kitchen there is steel sculpture and also paintings by local artists Dottie Bart and Peter Evans, a photo-realist painter based in nearby Verteillac. Read more...

Manor House Reimagined for the Discerning Traveller

There are few things more tranquil than the gentle scent of lavender caught on the breeze, while the swallows soar overhead and the sunlight glints off the turquoise pool.

The allure of a traditional French manor house, but with an emphasis on discreet quality and modern creature comforts - cotton sheets, excellent mattresses and luxury bathrooms all ensure this is more than an exceptional home from home.

Le Dattier
