About my area

My area is the south-west part of the Corrèze around Objat, situated in the ‘Bassin de Brive’ with its micro climate and well-known Sunday markets all year round. We fell in love with the Corrèze because of the nature, the tranquillity and the friendly people as well as the vivacity of the villages and towns. Here you have a totally different way of life compared to the west of Holland where everyone is always in a hurry, including myself! In this area you find history, nature, sociability and the possibility of doing all kinds of sporting activities such as walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, horse riding or playing golf. In spring and summer there is a lot going on in the surrounding towns and villages such as festivals, brocantes, flea markets (vide de grenier) and summer evening markets where you can enjoy preparing and eating the local products with your friends and the local people. We are within easy reach of two international airports (Limoges 80 km and Brive La Gaillarde- Vallée de la Dordogne 35 km) which have regular flights to the UK and other destinations.

About me

After years of travelling through France during our vacation trips, we decided in 2007 to find a lovely place somewhere in France to spend our holidays. A time of researching the different areas followed in order to discover which suited us best. It was a really important decision in a country with such a variety of regions all with their own characteristics. We finally bought a fantastic plot with an incredible view over the ‘Bassin de Brive ‘ which we have never regretted. After spending some wonderful holidays here, going home to the Netherlands became more and more difficult! Despite having a nice life, and I had a great job at a wonderful company in the Netherlands, we decided we wanted to settle in France permanently! So when I came in contact with Leggett Immobilier and found the opportunity to work as a real estate agent, all the pieces came together. I knew this was the chance to make our dream come true. Living and working in la douce France. I am looking forward meeting you to help you find your dream home in the perfect spot!
