Dominique and David are French and Irish respectively. Along with our 8 year old son Sebastien we live the majority of the time in Manchester, (but try to spend as much holiday time as possible inLe Falgueyret).

In late 2005 having spent a number of holidays in the Perigord region we decided to try and buy a house. We found this property in Feb 2006 and managed to complete the purchase in May 2006 in time to spend our honeymoon and first holiday there in June 2006.

We had 3 main criteria when looking for a house...

1. Should be a private single house
2. Less than 45 minutes from a working airport
3. Have a working bakery and a bar within walking distance

The house in Le Falgueyret is unique in terms of the architecture, layout and location. Despite the 6 inches of snow on the ground when we visited it was clear that it was the house for us, (but a much bigger project in terms of work that we understood at the time!).

The house itself is uniquely open plan and very practical for holiday living.

The pool is state of the art, fully automatic and heated.
There are separate dining areas surrounding the pool and on opposite side of the house.

The comfort level of the house has been increased with the installation of air-conditioning in each of the rooms and main living area.

We have incredible views across the valley countryside, while remaining very private.

We are part of a beautiful traditional hameau of Le Falgueyret,
(nearest house approximately 250 m away).

Ste Alvere is a living village, 3km away, that punches above it weight with multiple facilities. It is famous among other things for the truffle market in winter.

Ste Alvere is is at the heart of the perigord region with most tourist destination with easy reach, les Eyzies, Lascaux etc.

Finally....there are black truffles in the garden (allegedly!) if you can find them. (There are multiple truffieres within a 1-2 km radius).
