Stand at the edge of the private lake on a July morning and the only sounds are a wood pigeon somewhere in the oak canopy and the soft lap of water against the bank. No road noise. No neighbors. Just 14 hectares of meadow, woodland, and sky — and a stone estate that has been quietly watching over all of it for generations. This is Genouillé, a commune in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes, and this property is the kind of find that makes serious buyers stop scrolling and pick up the phone. The estate is anchored by a substantial main house — proper stone walls, exposed timber beams that have darkened beautifully over the decades, and reception rooms large enough that a gathering of twenty people still feels unhurried. Four bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, mean that a multigenerational family or a group of close friends can arrive for two weeks in August and never queue for a bathroom. The private in-ground pool sits within the grounds of the main house, giving the primary residence its own self-contained world. Completely separate and fully independent, the gîte adds another four to five bedrooms and a second pool. This is where the property starts to reveal its financial logic. Poitou-Charentes draws steady summer traffic — cyclists riding the Vélodyssée, families heading to the Marais Poitevin, history enthusiasts making their way between Romanesque churches — and good-quality rural gîtes in the Vienne book up fast from June through September. The infrastructure here is already in place. You're not building from scratch; you're stepping into a ready-made hospitality setup with genuine income potential. The third structure on the property is a cottage: sitting room, dining space, one bedroom, b ... click here to read more

Some mornings you wake up to the distant sound of boots on gravel. Pilgrims passing through Bach on the Way of St. James, heading southwest toward Cahors before the long push to Spain. You pour a coffee, step out onto the south-facing terrace, and the Lot countryside does what it always does — sits there quietly, certain of itself, needing nothing from you. That's the rhythm of this place. Unhurried. Real. This is not one house. It's a small private hamlet: three independent dwellings sitting on nearly 9,000 square meters of flat, wooded land just 500 meters from the village center of Bach. At 210 square meters of combined living space, seven bedrooms, and six bathrooms spread across the buildings, the property works equally well as a multi-generational family retreat, a gîte operation, a bed-and-breakfast, or a combination of all three. Very few properties along the Lot offer this kind of structural flexibility at this price point. The heart of everything is the main house. Walk into the living room and you feel the scale immediately — generous ceiling height, thick stone walls that keep things cool through July and August, a fully equipped kitchen designed for actual cooking rather than show. Three bedrooms upstairs each have their own private shower room and toilet, which matters enormously if you're hosting guests who don't know each other well, or family members who do know each other too well. The covered south-facing terrace on the ground floor catches the afternoon light and becomes, without any effort, where everyone ends up after dinner. Then there's the dovecote. Not a decorative one — a real, working piece of Quercy architectural history, built from the pale limestone that defines this corner of France. Th ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Carcassonne starts with the smell of woodsmoke and fresh bread. You push open the south-facing kitchen window, coffee in hand, and the Aude River valley stretches out beyond the garden fence—quiet, golden, unhurried. This is not a weekend fantasy. It's just a regular Saturday when you own this four-bedroom house on the edge of one of France's most storied medieval cities. The house sits in a calm residential pocket close to the banks of the Aude, the kind of neighborhood where neighbors know each other's names and the streets empty out by nine in the evening. Surrounded by 1,353 square meters of enclosed garden, it manages something genuinely rare in this part of Languedoc: countryside air and city convenience at once. The weekly markets on the Place Carnot are a ten-minute drive. The UNESCO-listed Cité de Carcassonne, with its 52 towers and double ring of ramparts, is close enough that you can watch its illuminated silhouette appear from your terrace on a clear summer night. At 157 square meters of living space, the house has been thoughtfully renovated without stripping away its personality. The ground floor flows from an entrance hall—with proper built-in storage, which anyone who's holidayed in undersized French houses will immediately appreciate—through a laundry room and into a south-facing open-plan kitchen and living area. Natural light pours through from mid-morning well into the afternoon. The dining room sits adjacent, separate enough for proper sit-down dinners, connected enough that nobody misses the conversation. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer genuine flexibility: a master suite with its own en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms served by a shared bathroom, and a separate WC. Two ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning here is the silence. Not the absence of sound, but a different kind of sound altogether — wind moving through oak and chestnut, the distant call of a buzzard riding thermals above the Goul valley, the faint creak of old timber in the barn warming up in the sun. From the terrace beside the heated pool, the Aubrac plateau stretches out across the horizon like something from a geological fever dream. Volcanic, ancient, unhurried. This is Cantal — one of the least-populated departments in France — and this particular farm, just ten minutes outside the village of Montsalvy, might be one of the most quietly compelling properties to come onto the market in the region. Six bedrooms across three buildings. A 7m x 3.5m pool warmed by rooftop solar panels. Over eight hectares of woodland, old pasture, a spring, and a hiking path that cuts through your own land. Two fully fitted gîtes already generating — or ready to generate — rental income. This is a functioning small estate, not a project. The renovation work has been done. You're stepping into something operational. The main house centres on a ground-floor open-plan kitchen and dining-living space with a wood burner that earns its keep from October through to April. The layout is practical and honest — no unnecessary flourishes, just solid stone and sensible proportions. Upstairs, two bedrooms. On the lower level, a third bedroom and a bathroom with separate WC. It's the kind of house where you lose track of time reading beside the fire with a glass of Marcillac, the local red wine made from the Fer Servadou grape that almost nobody outside the Aveyron and Cantal border has ever tasted. Worth seeking out. The main gîte is the sho ... click here to read more

Walk out the front gate on a July morning and within ten minutes your feet are on the sand at Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, the Atlantic stretching west toward the Channel Islands, Mont Saint-Michel rising from the tidal flats less than twenty kilometres to the south. That's not a marketing line—that's the literal Tuesday morning reality of living in this five-bedroom house on the Normandy coast of the Manche. Built in the early 1900s and sitting on a generous plot of just under a quarter of an acre, the property carries the solidity you'd expect from that era—thick walls, high ceilings, a real sense of permanence—while the interior has been kept in good condition and is ready to use from day one. At 220 square metres of habitable space across three floors plus a full garden-level basement, there is room here for a large family, a rotating cast of guests, or a combination of both. Five double bedrooms. Two bathrooms. A heated swimming pool. A large garage. A mezzanine with its own shower off the sitting room, which opens up all kinds of possibilities for sleeping arrangements without anyone feeling like they've drawn the short straw. The ground floor sets the tone. The sitting room runs to just over thirty square metres, big enough to hold a crowd on a rainy October afternoon without anyone feeling hemmed in. The mezzanine above adds a quieter perch—somewhere to read while the noise of dinner prep drifts up from the kitchen. That kitchen opens onto an elevated terrace with a built-in BBQ, and from there, external steps descend to the garden below. On a warm evening, that terrace becomes the centre of everything: the smell of something grilling, a glass of Normandy cider on the railing, the light going golden over the garden as ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Fayence, the church bell at the top of the old village counts nine slow strokes, and they drift down through the lavender-scented air all the way to your terrace. Coffee in hand, you're looking out over a ripple of forested Provençal hills, the surface of the pool catching the early light. This is not a fantasy. This is a Tuesday in October, or a Thursday in June — this is just what life looks like when you own a converted stone sheepfold in one of the most quietly compelling corners of southern France. Fayence sits in the Var, roughly halfway between the bustle of Cannes and the rocky grandeur of the Gorges du Verdon. It's a perched village — the kind the Var does so well — with cobbled lanes climbing to a 15th-century church, a rotating cast of artisan markets, and restaurants that take their bouillabaisse and daube provençale seriously. The Tuesday and Saturday markets on the Place de la République pull producers from across the region: olives pressed in Draguignan, goat cheese from the farms above Callian, honey from hives in the Maures hills. You're not driving to a supermarket here. You're walking five minutes to fill a basket. That proximity to the village center is one of this property's quiet advantages. It reads as countryside — the greenery around it is dense and genuinely peaceful — but the boulangerie and the pharmacy and the small épicerie are on your doorstep. International buyers often underestimate how much this matters day-to-day when a property is used across long stretches of the year rather than just a single summer fortnight. The sheepfold itself is the real draw. Stone construction of this age and character is increasingly hard to find in good condition in the Var at this ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning and watch the mist lift off 1.4 hectares of your own land while the smell of fresh coffee fills a room that's been warmed by thick Norman stone walls for decades. That's not a fantasy — that's a Tuesday here in Gouffern-en-Auge, a quiet commune in the Orne department of Lower Normandy where time moves at a pace most of us have completely forgotten. This five-bedroom stone country house sits on a generous 14,440 square metres of open land with views across the rolling Normandy countryside that shift dramatically with every season. At 258 square metres of living space spread across two floors and a basement, this is a property with real breathing room — the kind of home that absorbs a large extended family during August school holidays and still offers every adult a corner to call their own. The ground floor does something rare: it functions. A fitted and equipped kitchen anchors daily life without fuss. Two separate living rooms mean you're not forcing everyone into the same space every evening. The dining room is the size that makes Sunday lunches stretch well into the afternoon, which in Normandy, they absolutely should. There's also an office — genuinely useful if you're working remotely or managing a rental calendar — plus a ground-floor bedroom and a full bathroom, which makes the house accessible for guests or family members who prefer to avoid stairs. Upstairs, four more bedrooms fan out around a living room, a dressing room, and both a shower room and a bathroom. The basement delivers a proper cellar and an outbuilding, the kind of space that becomes a wine store, a workshop, or a mud room depending on what your life actually needs. Stone construction in this par ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in late June, the only sound you'll hear from the wisteria-draped terrace is the distant clang of a church bell from Lauzerte's hilltop and, if you're lucky, the unhurried creak of a tractor moving through a sunflower field far below. This is the pace of life in the Quercy Blanc — slow, deliberate, and quietly addictive. The stone farmhouse sitting just a short walk from one of France's officially designated Most Beautiful Villages doesn't shout for attention. It doesn't need to. Built around 1880 as a working duck farm — the kind of history you can actually feel in the thick limestone walls and worn original staircase — the property has been brought into the present with real care. The renovation is thorough without being sterile. Exposed stone walls meet a properly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Original ceiling beams frame the living room where a wood-burning stove inside a substantial fireplace becomes the social anchor on October evenings when the Tarn-et-Garonne hillsides shift from green to rust and amber. Tiled floors run underfoot with the kind of patina that only comes with a century of use. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms — including a master suite with its own dressing room and en-suite — give the house room to breathe without sprawling unnecessarily. A large attic sits above it all, unconverted and full of potential, the kind of space that could become a fourth bedroom, a studio, or a reading room depending on who moves in. At 230 square metres, the interior is generous. But in high summer, you'll spend most of your time outside. The pool terrace is serious. A high-quality swimming pool with an electric cover and a proper wooden deck isn't an afterthought here — it's ... click here to read more

Pull up on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is a wood pigeon somewhere in the old oak at the far end of the garden. The Charente valley rolls away below the infinity pool in shades of green and gold, and the stone walls of the house are still cool from the night. This is what you came for. Not the TGV timetable, not the Bordeaux wine list — just this specific silence, in this specific corner of southwest France, that you simply cannot manufacture anywhere else. Dignac sits in the gentle hills of the Charente, a département that most international buyers overlook on their way to the Dordogne or the Basque Coast. That's their loss and your opportunity. The village itself is small and unassuming — a boulangerie that opens at seven, a butcher who knows his suppliers by name, a bar-tabac where the dominoes come out after lunch. Real life, in other words. And yet Angoulême is barely twenty minutes down the road, with a TGV station that puts you on the platform at Paris Montparnasse in under two hours, or in Bordeaux Saint-Jean in forty minutes. The combination of deep rural quiet and genuine transport connectivity is rarer than it sounds. The house is a proper Charentais stone property — the kind built to last centuries, which it has. Thick limestone walls keep the interior cool in July without air conditioning. The renovation has been done with the sort of restraint that takes real confidence: natural stone floors left exactly as they are, oak beams cleaned up but not sandblasted into submission, original oak doors rehung on new hardware. The current owners didn't strip the soul out of it chasing a minimalist aesthetic. Instead, every room feels like it earned its character. The living room fireplace is the honest centr ... click here to read more

Stand in the kitchen of this 270-square-metre stone water mill on a Tuesday morning in late September and you'll hear the channel running beneath the house before you see it. The sound is constant — not loud, just present — like the building itself is quietly breathing. Light comes through the south-facing windows in long pale strips. The stone walls hold the cool of the night well into afternoon. This is Nonards, deep in the Corrèze, and once you've spent a week here, most other places feel faintly over-stimulated. The Corrèze doesn't get the same traffic as Dordogne or the Lot. That's precisely the point. The département sits in the northern reaches of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, spilling into the high plateau country of the Massif Central, and the landscape here has a particular quality — wide river valleys, dense oak and chestnut forests, medieval villages perched above the Dordogne gorges that barely appear on the tourist maps. Nonards itself is a commune of a few hundred people, surrounded by working farmland and nature reserves. The nearest town of any size is Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, about twelve minutes by car — a genuine market town with a Saturday morning market that runs along the riverfront and draws producers from across the region. You can be back at the mill with fresh walnuts, a wheel of Cantal, and a bunch of dried lavender before 10am. The mill sits on approximately one hectare of land, enclosed and private, with no neighbouring properties overlooking the plot. A stone-lined water channel — the original mill race — runs directly beneath the building and emerges through the garden in a wide, slow-moving stream shaded by mature trees. In summer, children wade in it. In autumn, it runs amber with tannins from ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Issigeac: the weekly market on Place du Château is already buzzing by nine, the smell of roasting chicken drifting from the rôtisserie stall, the sound of French chatter rising above the medieval ramparts. You're a ten-minute drive away, standing at your kitchen window with a coffee, looking out across a valley that hasn't changed much in three centuries. That's the kind of morning this property delivers, week after week, season after season. This is a barn conversion done right — and that distinction matters. Too many conversions in the Périgord sacrifice either the soul or the practicality, stripping out the stone to insert plasterboard, or preserving the beams while ignoring the cold. Here, the balance actually works. Exposed stone walls and heavy oak beams anchor every room in something authentic, while underfloor heating on the ground floor, solar panels for hot water, double glazing throughout, and a rare energy rating of B mean your running costs won't eat you alive. For a property of this age and character, that B rating is genuinely exceptional — most stone farmhouses in the Dordogne struggle to break a D. The layout is generous at 250 square metres, and it doesn't waste space on corridors or awkward half-rooms. The kitchen and dining room is the kind you actually want to cook in — properly fitted, with room for a long table and still space to move around it. A wood-burning stove anchors one end. The adjoining living room has its own stove too, and on a January evening when mist sits in the valley and the fire is going, this room becomes the whole reason you bought in France. Beyond that, a utility room with pantry storage and a guest cloakroom handle the unglamorous logistics cleanly. Upsta ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Queyssac. The kitchen window is open, and somewhere down the lane a church bell marks the hour. The smell of coffee drifts through the room while morning light moves slowly across the old stone walls. This is what you came for. Not a hotel lobby, not a resort pool — this. A house that has been standing for generations, renovated with real care, sitting quietly in one of the most quietly spectacular corners of southwest France. Queyssac is a small village in the Dordogne, tucked between Bergerac and the Périgord Pourpre wine country. It isn't on every tourist map, which is precisely the point. The locals shop Saturday mornings at the Bergerac market on Place de la République, eat confit de canard and walnut tart from the producers who've been showing up there for decades, and drive back through sunflower fields in time for lunch. Bergerac itself is just ten minutes away — close enough to grab a bottle of Monbazillac from a cave coopérative on a Tuesday afternoon, far enough that the hamlet stays genuinely quiet. This stone house sits in a hamlet setting with complete privacy. A dry stone wall wraps part of the garden, and a landscaped swimming pool sits outside with a terrace in front of the house that catches afternoon sun until well into the evening. There's also a covered courtyard — exactly the kind of shaded outdoor space you spend a lot of time in during July and August, when Dordogne summers run warm and long. A dovecote on the property adds to that particular sense of permanence you find in old Périgord houses, the feeling that the place has its own quiet history before you arrived. Inside, 160 square metres have been renovated to a genuinely liveable standard. The ground floor opens into a ge ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf starts with a smell you can't manufacture: woodsmoke drifting from the fireplace insert downstairs, coffee brewing in the fitted kitchen, and the faint sound of the Seine moving somewhere beyond the garden wall. It's the kind of slow-morning feeling that people spend years chasing and rarely find this close to a motorway junction. This is a five-bedroom Norman manor house in good condition, spread across 235 square metres, sitting in fully enclosed landscaped grounds with a south-facing terrace, a jacuzzi, two garages, an outbuilding, a workshop, and a paved parking area complete with an electric vehicle charging point. On paper, it sounds like a checklist. In person, it reads like a life upgrade. Let's talk about the house itself first. The ground floor opens with a generous entrance hall — proper proportions, not the awkward squeeze you find in newer builds — with a large closet and a separate WC. The kitchen runs to about 25 square metres, fully fitted and equipped, with enough room to cook for a family gathering without anyone getting in anyone else's way. A utility room with a sink connects directly to the garden, which makes returning from a muddy riverbank walk entirely civilised. The living room has a fireplace insert; the adjacent sitting room has its own fireplace. Two rooms with fires. That is not a small thing in a Norman winter. Up on the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms include a master suite with a dressing room and sink — a practical luxury that transforms the morning routine. There's a large bathroom, a laundry room, another dressing room, and a separate WC. The layout gives a family room to spread out without living on top of each other. The second floor ... click here to read more

On a quiet morning in the Gironde, before the tourist coaches arrive in the village and the church bells of Saint-Émilion's monolithic abbey start marking the hour, you can stand at the kitchen door of this 1860s chateau and look out across a landscape that has been producing some of the world's most celebrated wine for over a thousand years. The vineyards run almost to your garden wall. The air smells faintly of warm earth and cut grass. This is not a postcard. This is Tuesday. Built in 1860 and extended in the decades that followed, this nine-bedroom chateau and manor house sits in more than an acre of grounds just a short drive from the celebrated village of Saint-Émilion, in the heart of one of France's most revered wine-growing appellations. At 280 square metres of interior space across the main residence and a separate guest house, there is real breathing room here — room for a large family, room for friends who stay too long and don't apologise for it, room to think about what you actually want this place to become. The building's history shows itself in the right ways. Walk through the entrance hall and the proportions feel considered, unhurried — the way older houses do when they were built for people who planned to stay. A classic reception salon sits off the hall, the kind of room that works for a winter dinner party with candles on the table just as well as it does for lazy Sunday lunches spilling out into the garden. A separate dining room, a study, and a family kitchen that opens directly onto the grounds complete the ground floor picture. Wooden double-glazed windows throughout manage the neat trick of preserving the original character while keeping things genuinely comfortable across all four seasons. ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is the cuckoo somewhere deep in the oak woods behind the meadow. No traffic. No neighbours visible. Just the smell of damp grass, a light mist burning off the valley below, and the knowledge that you have six hectares of Périgord countryside entirely to yourself. That is the daily reality of this place — a 318-square-metre stone estate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a tiny hamlet near Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais, and it is the kind of property that makes people stop scrolling. The main house is authentically Périgord — golden limestone walls, exposed oak beams on the upper floor, and a sense of solidity that only three centuries of craftsmanship can produce. The ground floor flows generously: a 45-square-metre open living and dining room fills with southern light through most of the day, connecting directly to a 13-square-metre kitchen that opens onto the same space, making it genuinely social. There is also a private ground-floor bedroom with its own dressing room and ensuite shower — ideal for guests who prefer not to climb stairs, or for the owners themselves. A dedicated 30-square-metre office sits apart from the living areas, which matters if you work remotely or plan to manage the gîte business from the property. Upstairs, two further bedrooms — 23 and 15 square metres respectively — have the kind of exposed ceiling beams that interior designers try to recreate and never quite nail. Now, the part that sets this property apart from the typical Dordogne holiday home: it comes with two fully functional gîtes. The smaller one sleeps four across 62 square metres, with its own living room, two bedrooms, and a secluded garden that gives guests genuine pri ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in Thénac, the only sounds are birdsong, the occasional bell from the nearby Plum Village monastery drifting across the fields, and the soft creak of walnut branches in the breeze. You're standing on the terrace with a coffee, looking out over an unbroken panorama of Périgord countryside. No cars. No noise. Just space, light, and a 423-square-metre longère that's been quietly absorbing centuries of Dordogne life since the 1600s. This is not a typical French farmhouse renovation story. What you get here is rare: a genuinely large, genuinely versatile property that was substantially refurbished in 2021, sitting on around 5,400 square metres of landscaped grounds with a natural spring-fed pond, mature orchard trees — apple, walnut, cherry, plum, pear — and a private swimming pool tucked behind a thick hedgerow so that no one can see in. The pool terrace feels like your own private world, shielded from everything. Step inside through the main entrance hall, which is wide enough to function as a proper reception room, with doors opening to both the front and rear of the house. It sets the tone immediately. Stone walls. Thick, solid materials. A sense of permanence you don't find in new builds. The kitchen pulls you in further — organic and unhurried in its design, with wooden units, natural stone flooring, and walls that have absorbed three hundred years of cooking smells and family meals. This is the kind of kitchen where you actually want to spend time, not just pass through. The main lounge takes the drama up a level. A cathedral ceiling rising two full storeys gives the room a scale that feels theatrical without being cold, and a mezzanine level above adds an intimate counterpoint to all that ... click here to read more

On Sunday mornings, the bells from the village church carry clean and clear through the upstairs windows — and from the second floor of this 215-square-metre manor house, you can actually see the steeple they ring from. That's not a detail you find in every property. It's the kind of thing that makes you stop mid-coffee and remember why you came to Normandy in the first place. Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf sits on the south bank of the Seine, a few kilometres from Elbeuf and just 20 minutes by train from Rouen's cathedral city centre. It's a proper Norman town — bakeries that still close on Mondays, a weekly market where the cheese vendor knows regulars by name, and streets lined with the kind of stone-and-brick architecture that takes a century or two to earn its look. This manor house sits on one of those streets, on a one-way road that keeps through-traffic away, behind a large gate that shuts the outside world out entirely. The plot runs to 1,150 square metres, fully enclosed by walls — not a hedge, not a fence, actual walls — and the south-facing orientation means the terrace catches the sun from mid-morning until the light goes golden in the early evening. There's a carport, two outbuildings (one fitted with a rainwater tank for garden irrigation, which in Normandy is less of a luxury than you'd think), and mature trees that give the garden a settled, unhurried feeling. The terrace already has a sun lounger and outdoor table set up. On a warm July afternoon, with a glass of Calvados or a cold Leffe from the fridge, this corner of the garden could easily become your most-used room in the house. Inside, the ground floor is well-configured for daily life. The fitted kitchen connects to a dining room — a layout that actual ... click here to read more

On a still Sunday morning in Saint-Grégoire-d'Ardennes, the only sound you'll hear is birdsong cutting through the cool air and the faint creak of a shutter as light rolls across the garden. That's not poetry — that's what the mornings actually feel like here, in this former farmhouse on the edge of the Haute-Saintonge, where the rhythm of life runs about three speeds slower than anywhere you've lived before. This is a 230 m² stone house with five bedrooms, sitting on more than 4,700 m² of fenced, wooded grounds between the market towns of Pons and Jonzac. It's priced at €422,000. And while those numbers are useful, they don't begin to explain what makes this place worth serious attention. Step inside and the floor plan immediately makes sense. The ground floor is laid out for living — not for showing off. A wide living room flows into a dining room with a working fireplace, the kind that you'll actually use from October through to March when Charente evenings cool fast and the region's oak forests start smelling like autumn in a way no candle has ever managed to replicate. The kitchen has its own dining area, so morning coffee happens here, not in some separate formal room nobody uses. A utility room keeps the practical mess out of sight, and also on the ground floor: a bedroom, a shower room, and a full bathroom — meaning this house works completely on a single level if that's ever needed. Upstairs, three more bedrooms with original hardwood floors that have the satisfying solidity only old timber gets with age. A quiet study that faces the garden. Two large attic spaces that are currently unconverted — and this is where the real opportunity sits for international buyers. The bones are already there to add guest roo ... click here to read more
