A summer day in 2000. We got lost on a country road in the Morvan. Wife and children sleep well and there was a small sign A Vendre. 1 day later we signed the purchase contract and La Diligence was ours. 14 years of vacancy had left its mark, but all the original details were still there. Now ten years later we have saved 4 abandoned houses in the area. We still work in the Netherlands, but all holidays are in France. Many families have enjoyed one of our homes

Quiet place. The house has a nice garden.
Too bad there is no television and that the combi microwave does not contain a real oven.
