Better than accommodation...

Contrary to economic models, for more than 30 years we have been clinging to a course of action. To maintain a place on a human scale and a quality of welcome.

This gives us the image of a rural cocoon, conducive to calm, escape and contemplation where we can abandon ourselves to the striking beauty of the auroras, to the landscape as far as the eye can see...

The Happy Fields valley....

Here, at the top of the hill, at the gates of SARLAT, for twenty years we have been imagining and planting a place.

On about fifteen hectares, woods, meadows, chestnut groves, truffles constitute not only an area favorable to the discovery of the small heritage but also a refuge of biodiversity. You can abandon yourself there on foot or on a pony. You devote yourself to gathering, observing wildlife.

Yesterday's utopia is in tune with today's challenges....

When meeting animals in their enclosures or picking freely in the vegetable garden, young and old alike can flourish at the whim of nature.
Together, we apply the permaculture cycle between the fields, the small farm, the vegetable garden, the composting station and the sorting

SYMBIOSIS IN THE SOUTH-WEST OF FRANCE

Eco-designed holiday homes ...

Built with materials from old houses, perfectly integrated into the environment, they give the impression of having been built centuries ago.

We design our own construction and insulation techniques with local suppliers and craftsmen who use sustainable and healthy materials.

NATURE, the essence of well-being...

Early in the morning, it is possible that when you open your shutters, you will come face to face with a flock of sheep on a walk. Normal!!!
It's part of the customs of the house: to let a wind of freedom blow...

Living in symbiosis with animals and nature.
A simple, soothing and inspiring experience...

The meeting of local producers...

Who among our guests doesn't know the VIALARD FARM ? FERME DE VIALARD ?

We have been fortunate for 15 years to have this associative shop located at the foot of the hill. It brings together 55 local producers for our greatest pleasure.

The support of stakeholders for respectful tourism...

From the creation of our gites to marketing, we encourage responsible tourism initiatives.

In recent years, we have been supported by ADEME and the Dordogne Departmental Tourism Council to go further in our environmental approach;
- Production of 60% of our electricity by photovoltaic panels.
- Installation of a double charging station for electric car.
- Setting up a room dedicated to e-bikes to develop soft roaming.
- Project for an osmosis water fountain to reduce the consumption of plastic bottles
