Having run our own retail business in Norwich, in the East of England for nearly 20 years we decided that 2019 was time for a new challenge. A home in France was something we had always talked about. Claire-Louise's parents had recently sold their house in Vence in the Alpes Maritimes and we all missed spending time there. Our three children have studied french and were very supportive of a move across the Channel.
It didn't take us long to find and fall in love with the Perigord region and especially the Vezere Valley. It has it all! Friendly people, outstanding countryside, tranquility and great food.
We love meeting people from all over the world and sharing this beautiful region of France seemed the perfect new venture.
Our first two years at L'Enclos has been very happy. The locals have given us a warm welcome and our gite guests have been wonderful.
