“We were delighted to live in this new, well equiped holiday home in the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne. Although we did not meet Rory and Serge till after our exchanges took place, they were very easy to communicate with on line and had arranged for us to be warmly welcomed by their near neighbours there, Pierre and Véronique. The Dordogne speaks for itself but we particularly enjoyed lunch high up and overlooking the river at Domme, a little boat ride near La Roque Gageac and the nearby gardens of Marqueyssac. Castles and caves abound. Lunch by the smaller river at St Léon-sur-Vézère was a lovely conclusion to our visit. Obviously a car was necessary and we found Sarlat just 13 ks away suitable for shopping. Tamniès, their little village, was about 3 ks form ‘La Cougerie’ and did not have shops but did have a good restaurant and a picturesque church. We also enjoyed walking the back roads of this lovely area looking at the farms, the stone buildings, the forests and even managed to spot wild deer. For Australians all seems so different from our own landscapes. But Serge’s roses made me feel at home and made me realise that while our world is diverse our experience is similar. Many thanks, Rory and Serge. Jenny ”
