About Jamie and Dawn Taylor
Dawn and I have 4 children - 10-19 years old, and fell in love with La Belle Aube when it was just a plot of land (and a family of 4), for its peaceful setting and fantastic views. At La Belle Aube we love that moment after arriving when we first sit on the terrace, open a bottle of wine and just soak up the view. Our boys on the other hand make straight for the pool and jump in, laughing and shouting. When they were younger it was roaming about the gardens, playing games without us worrying about where they were. On an evening we love to sit on one of the terraces or just wander about the garden, glass of wine in hand, just enjoying the views and peace and quiet. We know how difficult it can be for a family with young children to go on holiday so we try to provide everything a family would need for a great holiday!
Jamie and Dawn Taylor purchased this bungalow in 2007
Why Jamie and Dawn Taylor chose Orival
As soon as we saw the stunning views across the valley, the peace and quiet of Les Palennes, the rolling hills of the South Charente, we knew this was where we would build La Belle Aube. Since building La Belle Aube we have found great restaurants in every direction. Lots of interesting places to visit and lots for families, both young and old, to do. Aubeterre Sur Dronne is our favourite place with Sel Et Sucre for pankcakes and an ice cream parlour for our children and a great bar for us!
What makes this bungalow unique
Great views, peaceful environment and safe and secure gardens for young children to enjoy. La Belle Aube is all on one level with large doors and easily accessible living areas, bathroom and outside areas.
