Faune (Vive le Vert)

At Vive le Vert, we believe holidays are precious time to slow down, connect with family and friends, and create lasting memories.  Whether you want to unwind in nature or explore everything the Dordogne has to offer, our two thoughtfully boutique designed gites, Faune & Flore, provide the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.

A Place for Everyone

Set within a 1.5 hectare private estate in a National Park, Vive le Vert is surrounded by rolling hills, peaceful forests, and charming villages and there's plenty to do beyond enjoying the scenery! Whether you love the outdoors, discovering new places, or just relaxing around the pool, there's something here for everyone.

Lakes & Wild Swimming - Natural swimming lakes offer sandy beaches, paddleboarding, and even inflatable water parks. Fishing lakes and riverside walks offer the perfect escape.

Adventure Parks & Zip-lining - Take to the treetops with rope courses and zip lines, perfect for a fun challenge or ride a rail bike, a one of a kind way to explore stunning landscapes while effortlessly gliding along historic railway tracks.

Cycling & Walking Trail - Peaceful countryside paths and forest trails make for great bike rides, mountain bike trails or walks through nature.

Historic Towns & Markets - Wander through medieval villages, browse local markets & creative fares, and stop for a treat at a riverside cafe. Lets not forget the Brocante, Bric a Brac and Antique markets galore all offering their hidden treasures.

Food & Wine Lovers - The Dordogne is truly a 'Bon vivant' paradise. With its renowned vineyards and wineries, you’ll have the chance to explore, taste exceptional wines, and bring a few bottles home, straight from the producers themselves. But that’s not all—the region also boasts a rich culinary scene, offering everything from fresh local produce to delicious traditional dishes. It’s the perfect destination to indulge in the authentic flavors of this remarkable region, where food and wine come together in a celebration of taste.

Meanwhile, back at Vive le Vert…

There's plenty of pure green space to relax. Cool off in the 9x4 meter swimming pool, float on an inflatable, sunbathe under Chestnut trees, enjoy outdoor games in the garden, or simply unwind on the terrace with a book, music, or a family board game as the sun sets. With our Wi-Fi, sharing your holiday moments is easy, and the night skies are incredible for stargazing accompanied by soulful owl hoots, whilst mornings are reserved for serenading birds.

Two Beautiful Gîtes To Choose From…

‘Faune’ and ‘Flore’, each boast charming exteriors adorned with rustic stone walls and wooden shutters. Nestled amidst lush foliage and the colourful canvas of nature’s splendour, both gîtes offer sunbeds for basking in the sunlight and the opportunity for a refreshing dip in the pool whenever desired. Indulge in outdoor dining on the terrace or lawn, ignite the barbecue for a delightful evening, and unwind to the melodies of chirping birds at sunset, accompanied by a glass of wine and locally crafted cheese.
