The Experience

Relax on the patio enclosed by high hedges and shaded by trees. You can bask by the pool, lunch on the terrace and have a barbecue in the evening with provisions from the good local boucherie. You stay in the gîte adjacent to the 19th-century coach-house, made of traditional stone.

Inside feels warm, convivial and cosy – an open-plan design for plenty of space and with huge rustic beams overhead. Take a tour of Vanessa’s wonderful vintage fashion collection in the little museum; stroll down to the village and its lovely square for shops, a bar, boulangerie and a good brasserie.

This is the northern reach of the Dordogne, the aptly named Perigord Vert, with a verdant landscape of forests, valleys and hills. Stock up at Piégut-Pluviers market (26km), discover prehistoric cave paintings at the Grotte de Villars (19km) and visit the Château de Jumilhac and its gardens (18km), topped with turrets and towers.

Adrian & Mandy

We loved our stay at Beaux Souvenirs. Vanessa and William were so welcoming and gave so much helpful information and ideas on where to go locally. They are wonderful hosts who really value their guests and make the best of their stay. Thanks. The gite is stylish and well equipped with so many interesting things to look at. The swimming pool is crystal clear (Thanks William) and garden beautiful to sit in and relax in. We would love to return and explore some more.

A very relaxing stay here very much home from home with everything you need. William & Vanessa are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Do visit the museum of fashions. Very interesting, Vanessa is incredibly knowledgeable. We will come back and try to do more Brocantes next time! Thank you both so much.

Location

The neighbourhood

You're in the Perigord National Park so numerous châteaux are within easy reach. Drive to Château de Puyguilhem in 25 minutes, or Bourdeilles and Hautefort in under an hour. Closer to home stroll to the man-made lake in Mialet, or hike, cycle, canoe, fish and play golf nearby. Foodies can head for the local brewery and honey producer or the Foie Gras and Truffle Museum (20 minutes). Perigordian cuisine is gorgeous and there are many restaurants within a short drive (some with Michelin stars). Explore pretty villages St Jean de Cole (20km) and Brantome, or Périgueux and Limoges are under an hour's drive. The train station is a ten-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Vanessa Jane Howard

  • This region is rich in tourist attractions from chateaux and prehistoric cave art to exceptional Roman remains. Explore the medieval cities of Limoges and Perigueux and beautiful villages. Here you can also golf, walk, cycle, horse ride, canoe and zip wire
  • The Barrage de Mialet features a 9km easy circular walk around a stunning tree-lined reservoir and bird reserve from which you can fish too. The village is surrounded by country walks with fields, woods and hedgerows brimming with wildlife and flowers.
  • Visit nearby the Chalus Chabrol castle where Richard the Lionheart met his fatal end. Discover the haunting story of the WW2 Memorial village, Oradour sur Glane. Or try out the unique Velorail, and view the bucolic countryside from an old railway track.
  • Brantome is just half an hour away and is a photographer's dream. Known as the Venice of the Perigord, its stunning abbey nestles on an island surrounded by boat-filled waterways. Close by, lunch at one of the beautiful villages of France, St Jean de Cole.
  • This area is a food lover’s paradise and is famed for its Black truffles, Foie Gras, Duck, Walnuts, Chestnuts, Madeleine cakes and Limousin Beef. With 7 Michelin-star restaurants (within an hour's drive) to summer night markets, eating here is a dream!
  • There is plenty here for Bargain hunters from antique fairs, flea markets and car boot sales to factory outlets for designer leatherwear and Limoges porcelain. Your hosts have a minefield of local knowledge and arm the gite with all you need to plan your stay.

Introducing

Vanessa Jane Howard

In the main house live a delightful pair: William, a Scot, and English Vanessa. William, who was in the Royal Navy in the 1980s, is a keen amateur historian and could discuss Napoleon for hours; Vanessa loves fashion and worked in marketing. They are really knowledgeable about the area so ask them for recommendations - they'll even make bookings for you.
