About my area

I live in the pretty village of St. Paul Lizonne, with it’s 12th centuary Roman Church, & it’s beautifully, recently restored, classified wooden ceiling dating from the 16th centuary, which is inbetween Verteillac & Aubeterre sur Dronne. The village of Verteillac has a big brocante every first Sunday of the month, & in the village of Aubeterre sur Dronne can be visited the largest monolithique Church in Europe, plus there is a nice beach along the river Dronne. Both villages have many good restaurant’s & bar’s, & shaddy tree lined squares. Rberac is 10 minutes drive away & has a large market every Friday morning, plus there are several supermarket’s, DIY shop’s & petrol stations. The area offer’s a large number of activities, such as, golf, canoe/kayaking, fishing, horse riding, acrobranching, & of course there are lovely walk’s. The area also has very good road, rail & Airport links. More & more buyer’s are being attracted to this area thank’s to key locations such as - Bordeaux Airport being approximately 1hr40 away. Bergerac Airport is approximately 1hr20 away, & one can be in the centre of Paris with the TGV train connectin from Angoulême station in 2hr30. St. Emilion & Cognac are 1hr30 drive away, for all those wine & cognac enthusiasts. Then there is the beautifull town of Brantôme, which is know as the little Venice of the Perigord, at 45 minutes drive away. This really is such a beautifull & enjoyable part of France to live in.

About me

I moved to the Charente in march 1995, with my 3 year old son & my mother, after leaving Catalunia in the north eastern part of Spain, for a change of life. My parents had a property in the Charente in the late 70’s so I knew the area quite well already. In 2000 I met my husband, who was a Navigator in the French navy for 32 year’s, he retired 8 year’s ago at the age of 50, & 3 year’s ago became Maire of our village. We married in june 2002 & left a couple of month’s later, as my husband was sent on a 2 year posting to New Caledonia. In 2008 we decided to buy a bigger property & that’s when we bought our current home here in the Dordogne, we finally moved into the house in the august of 2010, after spending nearly 2 year’s renovating it. I speak English & French fluently, & have travelled extensively around the globe, as I was a scuba diving instructor, mainly in the Maldives & the Caribbean, so joining Leggett Immoblier is a completely new challenge for me. I highly recommend anyone considering to buy a home here in the area, & look forward to meeting you to help find that very special property you dream of owning. Please don’t hesitate to contact me either by mail, or by phone, so that we can have a chat about your need’s.
