A 94 m² house for sale in La Rochefoucauld, Charente, with a garden and a supermarket within walking distance, priced at €129,200. This semi-detached home stands in Rivières, the part of the area that runs into La Rochefoucauld itself, and it makes sense on a modest budget. There are two bedrooms, a 373 m² plot and a layout that needs no explaining. It suits a first purchase in France, a straightforward rental project, or a low-maintenance base for long stays in Charente. ### The House: 94 m² on Two Floors The ground floor holds the everyday rooms. The kitchen is equipped and bright, so you can cook on the first evening instead of planning a fitting. Next to it is the living room, which has a chimney flue. That opens the door to a wood-burning stove, a welcome addition on a cold Charente evening. A shower room with WC completes the level, which is handy if stairs become a concern later on. Upstairs are two bedrooms. They work for a couple with a child, for a couple who want a spare room for visitors, or for two tenants sharing. The house is in good condition, so you are not buying a renovation project. As with any purchase, arrange your own survey and ask to see the heating and electrical set-up before you commit. Being semi-detached, the house shares one wall with its neighbour. That tends to help with heating costs and usually means a lower price than a detached home of the same size. ### The Garden and 373 m² Plot The garden gives you outdoor space without a weekend job attached. At 373 m² in total, it is big enough for a table and chairs in summer, a few raised vegetable beds or somewhere for children to play. It is small enough to keep tidy in an hour or two, which matters if you only come over for part of th ... click here to read more

This five-bedroom house for sale in Dordogne, in the village of Busserolles, gives you 176 m² of living space and a private garden. It was built in 1920 and is in good condition, so you can move in and decide later what to change. There is room for a family, for friends who come to stay, or for a bedroom you turn into a home office. The asking price is €107,000, which is a lot of space for the money in rural France. ### The House: 176 m² Over Two Levels The living area is spread over two floors. That usually means the day rooms sit together downstairs and the bedrooms are grouped above, which suits families and guests who like their own space. With five bedrooms, you can use one as a study, one as a hobby room and still have rooms to spare. The windows are double-glazed. In an older village house this matters, because it makes winter evenings more comfortable and keeps heating bills down. There is one bathroom. That is plenty for a couple or a small family, but if you plan to fill all five bedrooms at once, think about how you would add another. A house from 1920 has the proportions and character that new builds rarely copy. Come and see the rooms yourself, since the layout is where this property earns its value. ### Garden and Plot: 712 m² of Outdoor Space The plot measures 712 m² and includes a private garden. It is big enough for a table outside for long summer lunches, and small enough to look after without a tractor. If you are buying a second home in France and will be away for part of the year, a garden of this size is easy to keep tidy. If you live here full time, there is space to plant, sit out and entertain neighbors. ### Living in Busserolles and the Périgord Vert Busserolles is a quiet village in th ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Javerlhac sits on about 6 hectares of land with no immediate neighbours, close to Nontron in the Périgord Vert. Three bedrooms, 103 m² of living space and 60,715 m² of land in total, for €144,700. That is a lot of room, and hardly any of it is shared with anyone. The house is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide what to change later. ### The House and Its 6 Hectares The house stands on its own, with no neighbours next door. Step outside in the morning and the only sounds are birds, wind in the trees and perhaps a tractor in the distance. For anyone tired of thin walls and shared driveways, that is the main attraction here. The land comes in two parts. Around 3 hectares adjoin the house, so you can see it and reach it on foot in a couple of minutes. A further 3 hectares lie separately, a short trip away. Together they give you a plot of just over 6 hectares, which is rare at this price in France. ### What You Can Do With the Land The adjoining hectares suit the things people usually dream about when they search for a country house with land in France: a few sheep or horses, a vegetable garden, an orchard of apple, plum and walnut trees, or simply a very large lawn that nobody else mows. The separate 3 hectares give you more freedom still. Depending on the soil and the planning rules, they could work as pasture, woodland, a hay meadow or a quiet corner for outdoor hobbies. Before you plan anything agricultural, check the land use and any access rights with a notaire. The surroundings are described as protected, so some restrictions may apply to new building. ### Living Near Javerlhac and Nontron The commune of Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert lies in the gree ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits in a quiet hamlet of Busserolles and gives you 100 m², three bedrooms and a 31 m² garage for €134,300. It is attached to its neighbours on both sides, the way many village houses in the Périgord are built, and it is in good condition. The layout is easy to read: living space downstairs, bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, and a top level that works as a private retreat. Outside you have a garden on a 457 m² plot, plus a balcony. ### The House: Three Levels of Stone and Space You come in on the ground floor to a bright living room with a fitted kitchen. Behind it are a utility room and the adjoining 31 m² garage. That garage is useful in a rural area. Use it for the car, a workshop, or bikes and garden tools. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a renovated shower room and a separate WC. The second floor is given over to an office space and a third bedroom, so the whole level feels apart from the rest of the house. If you work remotely, you can close the laptop and go downstairs for dinner. If this is a holiday home, it is the floor guests can have to themselves. ### Heating, Solar Panels and Everyday Comfort The equipment list is modern for a stone village house. There is an air-to-air heat pump, a thermodynamic water heater and solar panels. The windows are PVC double glazed, and the sliding shutters are solar-powered. That last detail helps when you lock up for a few weeks and want the house closed in one go. The seller describes the house as energy efficient. As with any purchase in France, ask to see the energy performance report and recent utility bills at the viewing so you can judge running costs yourself. ### The 457 m² Plot, Garden and Balcony T ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Dordogne sits in the centre of Piégut-Pluviers and gives you 141 m² of loft-style space plus a 427 m² enclosed garden. Most of that space is in two large rooms, one per floor, which is a different proposition from the cramped village terraces you often see at this price. It is a semi-detached house with one bedroom, a pellet stove, a kitchen overlooking the garden and a short walk to the shops and the weekly market. The asking price is 180,900 EUR. ### Inside the House and Garden The ground floor is built around a 53 m² open-plan living area with lounge and dining space. A pellet stove warms it in winter, and the house is described as well insulated, which counts for a lot between November and March. Behind the living area you find the kitchen, which looks out over the garden, plus a laundry room and a separate WC. Washing up with a view of grass instead of a wall is a small thing, but you notice it every day. Upstairs is the whole sleeping floor: a 55 m² suite with exceptional ceiling height, its own shower room and a separate WC. There is a balcony as well. It is one very large bedroom rather than several small ones, so the house suits a single buyer, a couple, or someone who wants a base that feels spacious without a lot of rooms to heat and furnish. If you need a second bedroom for guests, that would be a project of your own, because the upstairs is laid out as a single suite. At the back, the enclosed 427 m² plot gives you private outdoor space right in the village. A working well with a pump is included, which is handy for watering the garden. A small outbuilding, which the sellers liken to an old pigsty, is useful for tools, bikes and garden furniture. The condition of the property is go ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Charente, just outside La Rochefoucauld, comes with a self-contained ground-floor apartment and 1,231 m² of garden. It is a semi-detached home of 147 m² on two levels, in good condition, with four bedrooms in total, a garage and a workshop. You can picture it as a family home, a house shared by two generations, or a main house with a rental unit below. ### The House and the Apartment Below The main living level is upstairs. It holds a family kitchen, a dining room, a living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom, so everyday life happens on one floor. At ground level there is a separate apartment with its own kitchen, one bedroom and a shower room. That changes what the house can do. Parents or grown-up children can live close by without sharing a kitchen. Guests get their own space. Or you can rent the apartment out, which makes sense if you are looking at a holiday home in Charente that helps cover its own costs. Rental income is never guaranteed, so check local demand first, but the layout gives you the choice. The listing also suggests the space could work for professional use, such as a small studio or office. ### Heating, Energy and Running Costs The house has a heat pump and a wood-burning stove, so you are not tied to a single source of heat in winter. Solar panels heat the water, which should help keep bills in check over the year. Mains drainage means there is no septic tank to inspect or maintain, a detail that matters more than it sounds when you buy French property from abroad. Ask for the energy performance report (DPE) during your visit so you can see the exact rating. ### The Garden, Garage and Workshop The plot measures 1,231 m² and the setting is quiet and green. That is enoug ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Charente sits in the village of Grassac, with three levels, a wood-burning stove and 1,716 m² of land for €35,000. It is in good condition and livable as it stands, yet two of its three floors are still unfinished, so you can shape them to your own plans. At this price in rural France, the usual compromise is a ruin or a long drive from anything useful. Here you get a sound house, a village address and a train station within about 35 minutes. That makes it a realistic holiday home in Charente, a low-cost base for a first move to France, or a modest renovation project you can build up over a few summers. ### The House: Three Levels and Room to Grow The ground floor holds everything you need for a first stay. There is a living room with a kitchenette, a traditional fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, one bedroom and a shower room. On a cold evening in the Charente countryside, that stove is the room's focal point. Upstairs, the first floor is a single large room waiting to be converted. Depending on your budget, it could become two bedrooms, a bedroom with a bathroom, or a bright studio. Above that, the attic is described as suitable for conversion, which gives a third level of potential space. The living area today is 75 m², and conversion could raise the usable total. As with any older stone property, get a local builder or architect to look at structure, insulation and access to the upper floors before you settle on a plan. Check any conversion with the mairie as well. ### The Land: Garden Plus a Separate Plot The plot totals 1,716 m². About 300 m² is a garden that adjoins the house, enough for a table outside the door, a vegetable bed or a few fruit trees. The remainder inclu ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Charente sits on a 1,294 m² plot in Ruelle-sur-Touvre, a few minutes from Angoulême, and needs a full refresh. It is a 1950s house on two levels with 109 m² of living space, a basement with workshop and garage, and a garden far larger than most in town. The structure is sound. The comfort, however, is yours to build. Plots of this size are not common this close to a city. Most houses around Angoulême come with a small yard. This one comes with space for a vegetable patch, an orchard, a terrace or all three. ### The House: Two Levels, 109 m² and a Sound Structure The main floor holds a kitchen, a large living room, two bedrooms, a separate toilet and a bathroom. It is a straightforward, practical layout, and the room sizes are generous for a house of this period. Below is the basement level, which is where the potential lies. It contains a shower room with toilet, a workshop and a garage. The seller's description also counts two further rooms down here as bedrooms. The listing is headlined as a two-bedroom house, so treat the sleeping capacity as something to confirm on a visit. A 25 m² veranda completes this level and could become a bright sitting area facing the garden once the rest is updated. Two usable levels give you options. You could keep the bedrooms upstairs and turn the lower level into one big living space, or split the house into separate zones for guests or a home office. ### The 1,294 m² Plot A garden of this size changes how you live in a house. Think of long summer lunches under a tree you planted yourself, space for a pétanque court, or room for a pool, subject to local planning rules. The plot is described as green, with plenty of scope for landscaping, so you are working w ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits on 1,650 m² of private garden in Écuras, a short drive from Montbron. It is a detached family home of 142 m² in good condition, with two bathrooms, covered terraces and a place inside a quiet, green residential park. At €191,300 it gives a family, or two families sharing, a lot of room for the money. ### The House: 142 m² for Family and Guests The layout is built around shared time. A large living room runs into the dining area, and the fully equipped kitchen sits alongside. French doors from the living space open straight onto the terrace, so in summer the line between inside and outside mostly disappears. Lunch moves out without anyone carrying much. Upstairs and around the house there are four bedrooms, two of them very large. Two bathrooms mean a full house does not turn into a queue every morning. There is also a balcony, handy for a coffee before anyone else is up. The condition is good, so you can arrive, unpack and spend your first weeks using the place instead of fixing it. ### Garden, Terraces and the Pool The plot measures 1,650 m² and is lined with mature trees, which gives the garden real privacy from neighbours. That is not easy to find at this price. The terraces are partly covered, so an evening meal does not depend on the weather, and there is a built-in barbecue for long summer dinners. The property data lists a swimming pool. The Le Chat park around the house also has two pools of its own, so ask us to confirm whether a pool sits on this plot or whether you would use the park facilities. It changes the running costs and the upkeep, so it is worth knowing before you visit. ### Living Next to Le Chat Park in Écuras The house borders Le Chat Park, ... click here to read more

This two-bedroom house for sale in Dordogne sits on 1,800 m² of land at Le Bourdeix, with a 50 m² barn and a working well. At 129,000 EUR it is a practical way into the green, quiet north of the department, where prices stay well below the Sarlat and Vézère valley area. The house has about 110 m² of living space and is in good condition. Two stoves heat it, there is a garden, and the outbuildings give you room to spread out. If you want a second home where you can grow vegetables, park a trailer and leave the car door open without anyone noticing, this is that kind of place. ### The House: Two Bedrooms and Two Stoves You enter on the ground floor, which holds the kitchen, a separate WC and a spacious living room. The kitchen has a wood-burning stove, which is the one you'll light first on a damp October morning. The living room has a pellet stove, so the main room can be warmed with very little fuss. In this part of France, where winters are cool and wet rather than harsh, that combination does a lot of the work. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and a shower room with a macerating WC. The listing also mentions a balcony, which is worth checking in person for orientation and the view over the plot. The layout is simple and bright, with no awkward conversions, and it suits a couple or a small family. It also works as a base for guests if you use the barn creatively. ### 1,800 m² of Land, a Barn and a Well The plot is the main attraction. With 1,800 m² you can lay out a terrace, plant a vegetable garden, set up a play area or keep a few animals. The listing data names a swimming pool among the features, while the agent's own text speaks of installing one. Please ask for confirmation of the exact situation before you pl ... click here to read more

This 5-bedroom house for sale in Haute-Vienne sits in Saint-Mathieu, with 163 m² of living space, an 80 m² basement and a double garage. At €179,500 it works out at roughly €1,100 per m², and the plot is a fenced 1,297 m². The house is in good condition, with a recent pellet boiler and double glazing, so the real question is how you will use all the space. ### The House: Five Bedrooms on Two Floors You come in through the entrance on the first floor. The fitted and equipped kitchen is right there, with one door straight outside and another down to the basement, which is handy when you are carrying shopping or firewood. Next to it is a double living room with a working fireplace, where the family will end up on a January evening. Three bright bedrooms share the first floor with a bathroom (bath and shower) and a separate WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms add flexibility. One has a dressing area that still needs fitting out, and the other has its own washbasin with bidet and sink. There is also a shower room with a double vanity and storage units, plus a second separate WC. The large landing is wide enough to become a playroom, a reading corner or a desk for remote work. Five bedrooms makes this a house for a big family, or for two families sharing a summer. ### Basement, Garage and Garden The full basement covers 80 m² and does real work. The electrics were recently redone, there is a water point and sink for a washing machine, and the boiler room holds the pellet boiler, its silo and a thermodynamic water heater. Because the silo stores the fuel on site, you are not handling it bag by bag. Outside, the plot is enclosed and fenced, laid out with a courtyard and a lawn. A detached double garage stands at street level ... click here to read more

This 2-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits in the Le Chat holiday village near Écuras, with pool, tennis and mini-golf on the doorstep. It is a single-storey home of 54 m² on a 649 m² plot, priced at €98,100. That is a modest figure for a house with its own outdoor space in France. The village is open all year, so the place doesn't shut down in October. You can use it for a long summer, a few winter weekends, or as a base to live in. ### The House: Single-Storey Living on 54 m² Everything is on one level, which makes day-to-day life easy. It also makes the house simple to lock up and leave between visits. The living room is bright and opens onto a fitted kitchen, so you can cook and still talk to whoever is on the sofa. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an unusual ratio for a house this size. Two couples or a family with a child can each have their own space. The condition is listed as good. There is no big renovation to price in before you can use it, though a viewing is the time to check the details that matter to you, such as heating, insulation and furnishings. ### Terraces, Garden and the 649 m² Plot Outdoor space is where this house earns its price. One terrace is reached from the living room and the other from the kitchen. Breakfast can go on one and an evening drink on the other, depending on where the sun is. The listing also records a balcony. The plot of 649 m² leaves room for a table, a barbecue and some planting, without a garden that eats your weekends. That matters if you plan to run this as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home in Charente. ### Life in the Holiday Village near Écuras The house is inside the Le Chat holiday village, a green, leisure-oriented setting. Facilities listed for t ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits in a quiet hamlet near Varaignes, with three bedrooms, a barn and 3,415 m² of land. The house has 88 m² of living space on two floors, and the plot is big enough for a vegetable garden, a small orchard or just a lot of grass to roll a mower over. It is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide on projects later. The asking price is €165,400. ### The House: Three Bedrooms on Two Floors You come in through an entrance hall that leads to the living room, which is the natural place for a wood-stove evening or a long Sunday lunch with the door open in summer. The kitchen is on the same floor. So are a bedroom, a shower room and a separate WC. That ground-floor bedroom is handy. Guests, parents or anyone who would rather skip the stairs can sleep there without sharing a floor with everyone else. Upstairs, a landing opens onto two more bedrooms, which gives the family or visiting friends a quiet sleeping floor of their own. The walls are old local stone, the kind of country house in Dordogne that looks right in the landscape and stays cooler when the summer heat arrives. ### Land, Barn and Open Views The plot covers 3,415 m² and is laid out as a garden around the house. Beyond the boundary there is open Périgord countryside, and nothing blocks the outlook. Morning coffee outside here means fields and trees, not a neighbour's wall. A detached barn stands on the land. Right now it works for storage, garden equipment or a workshop. Some buyers will see a conversion project in it, for a guest cottage or studio. Any change of use needs planning permission, so check with the local mairie before you plan anything. A plot this size also means upkeep. If you only use the h ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits in Busserolles, in the Périgord Vert, with an 867 m² plot, a barn and a second cottage to restore. At €23,000 it suits a buyer who wants real work to do and something entirely their own at the end of it. The main house is a terraced stone building with one bedroom and about 55 m² of living space. The rooms are already laid out. Around it you get a barn, a separate small house and close to 900 m² of land. That combination is rare at this price, and so is the amount of work that comes with it, so read on before you book flights. ### The Stone House and Its 867 m² Plot Inside the main house, the ground floor holds an entrance, a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom and a shower room with toilet. It is a simple, workable plan for one or two people, and the listing also mentions a balcony. Picture coffee up there on a summer morning, looking over the Périgord Vert countryside. Above the living space is an attic of about 43 m². It is the obvious place to add a second bedroom or a bigger sleeping area if you want to host family. Next to the house stands a 44 m² barn. Buyers in this part of France use barns as workshops, storage for tools and bikes, or as a future extension, subject to the usual permissions. The plot of 867 m² is enough for a vegetable garden, a terrace for long lunches and parking, without becoming a weekend of mowing. ### The Second House: Gîte or Guest House Potential The plot includes an independent house of about 33 m². It needs complete renovation, so treat it as a second phase rather than a bonus you can use next summer. Once restored, it could work as a guest house for visitors or as a small gîte. The Dordogne is one of the most visited rural regions in Fra ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Charente is a stone barn near Grassac with 190 m² of space, a 2,300 m² plot and half its roof already redone. It sits in a quiet hamlet, and at 56,700 EUR it is priced for someone ready to take on a conversion. ### A House for Sale in Charente Priced as a Project Let's be straight about what this is. It is not a finished home. It is a solid stone shell with a lot of room to work with. The condition is rated good and the roof is partly new, but the layout, the fit-out and the connections are still yours to plan. At this price you get 190 m² under cover and more than 2,300 m² of land, and that ratio is the whole appeal. ### The Stone Barn and Its Outbuilding The main building is a traditional stone barn with roughly 160 m² of floor space. Barns give you something a standard house never will: volume, thick walls and the freedom to decide where every room goes. The listing points to three realistic uses: a primary residence, a second home, or a rental project. An adjoining building of about 40 m² completes the property. It could become a studio, a workshop or a home office, which is handy if you want to live in one part while you work on the other. ### Roof, Utilities and Renovation Scope The roof is the expensive part of any barn, and here half of it has been completely redone. The other half is described as in very good condition. That removes the biggest unknown for many buyers. What remains is the conversion itself. The utilities still need to be connected, so ask early where the nearest supplies are and what bringing them to the building will cost. Turning a barn into a dwelling normally requires planning permission for a change of use, so check with the local mairie before you commit to p ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente, in Mornac near Angoulême, has a 3.10 m ceiling living room, a veranda and an 810 m² fenced plot. Built in 2002 and extended with a veranda in 2010, it is in good condition and ready to live in. It has two bedrooms, 94 m² of living space and no stairs. At 199,000 EUR it suits anyone who wants a low-effort home in the French countryside, as a main residence, a second home in France or a rental. ### A Single-Storey House for Sale in Charente The living room is the first thing you notice. The 3.10 m ceiling makes it feel larger than its floor area suggests. The fitted and equipped kitchen is open to it, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. A fireplace with an insert takes care of cold evenings, and air conditioning deals with the hottest weeks of July and August. The veranda, added in 2010, is a bright extra room. Use it as a winter lounge, a reading corner or a second dining table when guests come. Light fills it for most of the day. Both bedrooms have a dressing room, a practical detail in a house of this size. The bathroom has a walk-in shower finished in natural stone. The layout is simple and everything is on one level, so there is nothing to rework and no space wasted on corridors. ### The 810 m² Plot, Terrace and Electric Gate The whole plot is fenced and closed by an electric gate. You can drive in, shut the gate behind you and be private straight away. If you plan to use the house as a holiday home in Charente and be away for weeks at a time, that security makes leaving much easier. A tiled terrace of 74 m² runs alongside the house, and the property data also lists a balcony. The terrace is large enough for a proper outdoor table and a few lounge ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Corrèze, in the village of Beyssenac, sits on 2,526 m² of fenced land with open countryside views for €129,000. It is a small house, and that is part of the appeal. One bedroom, 52 m² of living space and a garden big enough to lose an afternoon in. The stone was renovated in 2009 and the condition today is good, so you can arrive, open the shutters and start using it. There is room to grow later if you want it. ### The House: 52 m² of Renovated Stone The ground floor holds everything you need for daily life. You walk into a kitchen and a living room with a fireplace, which is where most evenings will end between October and April. Behind that sit the single bedroom and a shower room with a separate WC. Nothing is wasted and nothing feels like a corridor. Stone walls do what they have always done: they stay cooler through a hot afternoon and hold warmth once the fire is lit. For a second home that you may leave empty for a few weeks at a time, solid masonry in good order is a real advantage. ### Attic Space and Cellars: Room to Expand Upstairs there is an attic of 25 m², currently unconverted. The seller describes it as suitable for creating two rooms, which could take the house from one bedroom to three sleeping spaces. That matters if you want to host friends, children or paying guests. Any conversion would need proper planning, quotes from local artisans and the usual checks with the mairie, so treat it as a project to price up rather than a finished fact. The property also has two cellars, and the data lists a basement. Dry storage is useful here: garden tools, firewood, bikes, a few cases of wine from the Dordogne and Corrèze markets. ### 2,526 m² of Fenced Land and Open Views Th ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Payzac sounds like this: a rooster somewhere beyond the tree line, the faint clatter of a boulangerie shutter rolling up in the village, and from your terrace, nothing but open countryside rolling out in every direction. No traffic noise. No sirens. Just the particular quiet that the Dordogne does better than almost anywhere else in France. This four-bedroom stone house sits inside a tiny hamlet just minutes from Payzac itself — one of those blink-and-you-miss-it villages that locals protect fiercely and outsiders discover only by accident. The property is the real thing: thick-walled, honest, built to last centuries and largely succeeding at that goal. At 122 square metres of living space, it's not a sprawling château, but it's generous enough for two families travelling together, or a couple who want room to breathe without a house that turns into a cleaning project every Sunday. Step through the entrance hall and the layout makes immediate sense. The living room has a fireplace — the kind you actually use on cool October evenings, not the decorative kind that exists for photographs. French doors pull the terrace right into the room, dissolving the line between inside and out in a way that only works when the outdoors is genuinely worth dissolving into. The fitted kitchen and dining room open the same way, so summer meals drift naturally onto the stone terrace with a bottle of Bergerac rouge and no particular reason to go back inside. Upstairs, four bedrooms, each around 12 square metres — compact, but properly so, the way old French farmhouse rooms tend to be, with thick walls that keep them cool even in August when the Périgord sun gets serious. Then there's what's across the lane. A barn of roug ... click here to read more
