Les Bouleaux - Luxury Holiday Villa in France

Welcome

A Haven of Tranquility

L es Bouleaux (pron. Lay Boolow) is situated on the edge of Villetoureix village. The house is spacious throughout with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms in the tower extension upstairs.

The garden is very private with a substantial laurel hedge surrounding the outside space. The swimming pool (10mtrs X 5mtrs) is for your exclusive use and is 1.2mtrs deep throughout, no deep end. Garden gates either side of the property help keep the young children safely in view.

Everything is provided for your enjoyment and convenience, including broadband internet, a widescreen TV home entertainment system and lots of play equipment. The young ones should never be telling their parents “I’m bored!”

The idea is that parents can have a holiday too!

The House

Where Elegance Meets Comfort

Every corner of Les Bouleaux has been thoughtfully designed to provide the ultimate in luxury and relaxation

01

A Labour of Love

We completed the construction of our ‘dream’ house in the Dordogne in the summer of 1999, after 4 years of endeavour. We designed the property ourselves and were personally involved in all stages of the building work.

02

Holiday in Space

The first thing noted by visitors is a feeling of spaciousness from the long and wide entrance hall to the main upstairs bedroom with ensuite shower room and separate sitting/dressing room. And, plenty of car parking. We believe that Les Bouleaux provides everything that visitors need to just settle in and enjoy their holiday even when the weather is not at its best. Our REVIEWS page demonstrates how we are doing!

03

Far From the Madding Crowd

The balcony has proved to be a haven for ‘rest and recuperation’, with views over the surrounding countryside, and perhaps a good book (from our own well stocked library) a glass of wine and the strong possibility of an afternoon doze!

04

Sounds Great – Looks Great

If at any time you would like to leave the great outdoors for the great indoors perhaps to relax in the spacious lounge, there is a 46″ television with a Humax freeview (UK) TV receiver, Bluray DVD player with 100+ films to choose from, and a CD deck. Feel free to bring your own games console which can be hooked up to the TV.

Location

Your Half-Acre of Paradise

Les Bouleaux is our half-acre of France, situated in an elevated position on the edge of the village of Villetoureix, with views across open countryside and the Dronne river valley.

Being inland, there is rarely much wind. On clear summer nights, turn off the house lights and gaze at an incredible display of stars.

The Milky Way is obvious and shooting stars (the persids) are active in August.

Perfect for stargazing

Activities

Touring & Sports

The Dordogne offers an abundance of activities and attractions for every interest and age group

Touring

Dordogne is an administrative department in the Aquitaine region of south-west France. The French refer to the area as Périgord in much the same way that the British describe parts of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire as the Cotswolds.

Les Bouleaux is situated towards the northern boundary of the Dordogne and is central for exploring a wide variety of attractions that many describe as the most interesting in France. You could head north, south, east or west and within 2 hours find plenty to see and in most instances something for the children as well.

Sport

The Dordogne is not famous for its sporting facilities, although tennis and horse riding are well catered for along with plenty of swimming and watersport locations. Canoeing is easily available on all the rivers and lakes.

Fishing is popular with details and licences available from Riberac town centre. I can vouch for some excellent golf courses from 30 minutes to 2 hours distant.
