About Paula and Darren

Bonjour. We are a husband and wife team who are the owners of Finders Keepers France. We moved to the South of France back in 2016 after working in the Medical branch of the Royal Navy. Passionate about the outdoors, nature and France our vision is to offer a rural retreat for those needing a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by views, wildlife, and silence, Finders Keepers France allows guests to recharge, refresh and relax whilst enjoying the facilities we have to offer. Independently developing and maintaining the business has allowed us to offer a personal touch and natural feel whilst retaining its rustic natural charm. Becoming an LPO refuge (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) in 2017 provided us with the knowledge and support to develop the grounds to protect the visiting wildlife, monitor potential hazards, and restore natural habitats. The increase in wildlife habitats and nesting boxes around the grounds has resulted in an increase in many species of animals, including an endangered European Mink.   The development of a butterfly meadow has seen a huge increase in butterfly's and moths, and Participating in Open Gardens has seen the gardens open to the public once a year, raising money for local charitable causes. We are always on the look out for new adventures and new developments, and are known locally for adopting animals in need. Currently we have adopted some ex battery hens, 3 rescue cats and 1 rescue dog.  We hope we can meet you all soon. Darren and Paula

Why Paula and Darren chose Moncrabeau

We fell in love with Lieu-dit Badie when we were touring the area on holiday. The minute we saw it we instantly fell in love. The property itself was very french and beautiful with the added extra outbuildings and gites to enable us to share its beauty with family, friends and relatives. Its location is perfect for those who love the great outdoors, peace, nature, France, good food and wine. The beauty of the surroundings change from day to day and you never get one day the same.

What makes this Cottage unique

We have a fabulous 3 acre lake which is available for use at any time. If you like to swim, fish, relax or just sit and watch nature this is idyllic. The Sunrises and Sunsets are also breathtaking due to being positioned on an elevated position.
