An unusual visitor

Our local cafe had a very unusual visitor! As you can imagine he was the main topic of conversation. Such a magnificent creature!

Concert at the Abbey in Paunat

We spent a delightful evening at the abbey in Paunat. Prior to the concert we enjoyed a picnic under the trees. Our own mini Glynebourne! It was very well attended and a wonderful way to spend a very hot summer’s evening.

Monpazier medieval festival

Last Sunday was the annual Medieval Festival in Monpazier. As always it was a  colourful and lively event enjoyed by all.

Sunflowers bloom in the Dordogne

This is a wonderful time of year. Despite the drought the countryside and gardens continue to bloom. Driving through the area the fields of sunflowers can’t but delight both the travelers and the residents with their colour and cheerfulness.

Canoeing on the Dordogne

Guests are thoroughly enjoying canoeing on the Dordogne. Each time they come back enthused by the view of the chateaux and caves as they meander down the river.

Les Saucissons

Market days are great fun. Apart from the shopping they are a very social occasion where friends gather and chat and compare bargains. The stall holders work hard to make their wares attractive and love adding little extras like this pink pig to show he is a pig farmer.

The French Balcony

Among the many things I love about the architecture in the area are the wonderful balconies that adorn properties in the villages. At this time of year they so colourful with the all the flowers.

Summer evenings

Long summer evenings watching spectacular sunsets while supping a glass of wine! A perfect way to enjoy the peace and tranquility at our country home.

Butterflies

Wander through our meadows and you will see the most beautiful  wildlife. There has been a huge increase in species since we arrived having converted the farm to organic. The butterflies are really lovely.

Summer evenings

We simply love the long summer evenings here at Domaine des Faures. It is so peaceful with such glorious views that we really don’t wish to be anywhere else. Guests who holiday here always comment on how quiet and restorative the property is and leave refreshed, often returning again.
