We are Anouk and René. In 2010 we moved to the French Pyrenees where we were the owners of a small-scale mountain hotel until the spring of 2022. We have now sold the mountain hotel and have moved to the Lot ourselves to start a new project there. In 2014 we bought this holiday home "Sous le vieux chêne" in the Lot, in the municipality of Thédirac and turned it into a cozy and complete house where you can relax in peace.

We rented 5 days in this beautiful house. The surroundings are very beautiful, many deer can be seen. Unfortunately, the house was not really clean, hair in bed and cobwebs at the door could easily have been removed.
