The pool has been opened here at Les Courrieres and is already a good temperature of 20 degrees as we discovered during the warm weather last week. A new pergola has been installed and new covers for the loungers. The furniture is all in place and a new grill has been situated at the pool BBQ. The garden, after tending for 3 years has now become established and is a relaxing area to enjoy a chilled glass of wine.
Talking of wine, we are in the process of bottling our very own Pineau which is a gloriously rich tasting apperitif typical of this region. The Eau de vie has been returned to us after distilling and is a beautiful fig but extremely alcoholic digestif. Lots of fun was had last year when we picked all of the grapes and plucked the figs from the fig trees in the gite garden and that of the main house.

Brantome Gite is located just two minutes from the centre of Brantome by car, and is one of the best French gites in the locality. The 2- bed gite offers seclusion, tranquility, a beautiful view, its own swimming pool, and very amiable hosts Richard and Julia! You will relax, unwind, and drink in the ambience that the Dordogne can offer. I also write a blog on the Cats of Les Courrieres, so for you cat fans out there please visit
