With over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, I guide my clients through every stage of their property journey, both in France and internationally. Throughout my career, I have developed comprehensive expertise in residential and commercial real estate transactions, investment advisory, and supporting both French and international clients.
Over the years, I have worked as an independent real estate consultant, property advisor, and specialist in the sale of character and luxury properties. These roles have provided me with an in-depth understanding of the real estate market, property valuation, negotiation, and the importance of delivering a personalized service tailored to each client's needs.
My expertise has also been strengthened by several years of experience as a mortgage broker, assisting both private individuals and businesses in securing financing for their real estate projects. This background enables me to offer a comprehensive perspective on the entire property transaction process.
In addition, I have gained valuable experience in the construction sector, further enhancing my understanding of the technical, regulatory, and financial aspects of residential property.
Attentive, responsive, and committed, I build lasting relationships based on trust, transparency, professionalism, and a high standard of client service. My goal is to provide bespoke guidance by combining my experience, network, and market knowledge to help my clients achieve successful real estate outcomes.
closeQuercy is traditionally divided into two regions: Haut-Quercy, whose historic capital is Cahors, and Bas-Quercy, centred around Montauban. Today, Haut-Quercy corresponds to the Lot department. Stretching between the Massif Central and Aquitaine, it shares with neighbouring Périgord an exceptional natural, architectural, and cultural heritage.
The architecture of Quercy is deeply rooted in its landscape. Built from locally sourced materials, its houses are distinguished by the elegance of their proportions and the authenticity of their stonework. Most traditional homes, constructed between the early eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, feature a rectangular layout, a long façade, and a substantial fireplace that formed the heart of family life.
Building materials vary according to the surrounding landscape. On the limestone plateaus known as the Causses, houses are built from local limestone and traditionally roofed with stone slates (lauzes). In the northern part of the Lot, roofs are typically covered with flat clay tiles or slate, while the south is characterised by traditional canal tiles. Roof pitches also differ from one area to another, reflecting local traditions as well as climatic conditions.
One particularly charming custom illustrates the pride of local craftsmen: when a house was built for newlyweds, the stonemason would carve a heart into the entrance door lintel as a symbol of love, happiness, and prosperity.
The dates engraved on many façades reveal a remarkable period of construction between 1730 and 1914, with a significant concentration around the 1870s. This period coincided with a major turning point in the region's history, when the vineyards of Cahors, then located east of
the town along the Lot Valley, were devastated by the phylloxera epidemic. The vines were subsequently replanted west of Cahors, giving rise to the vineyard that today produces the internationally renowned Cahors Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wines.
The capital of the Lot department, Cahors is a medieval city with a rich commercial past. During the Middle Ages, it was home to nearly a thousand merchants and occupied a strategic position within a spectacular bend of the River Lot. Among its architectural treasures are the magnificent Valentré Bridge, one of the last fortified bridges in France and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the impressive Saint-Étienne Cathedral, and the lively traditional market held every Wednesday and Saturday.
Haut-Quercy also captivates visitors with the diversity of its landscapes. Between the vineyard-covered Lot Valley and the Dordogne Valley, renowned for canoeing and other water sports, nature lovers enjoy an exceptional environment for exploration. The cliffs, limestone plateaus, peaceful valleys, and countless dry-stone walls of the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park provide an unspoilt setting for hiking and wildlife observation.
Those fascinated by the underground world will be enchanted by the spectacular Padirac Chasm, a true natural cathedral, and the prehistoric Pech-Merle Cave, famous for its cave paintings dating back more than 20,000 years.
The Lot is also home to several of France's most beautiful villages. Carennac, Autoire, and Loubressac charm visitors with their cobbled streets, stone houses, and breathtaking views. Further south, Rocamadour, dramatically perched on a cliff overlooking the Alzou Canyon, is one of France's most iconic destinations and attracts visitors from around the world each year.
In Figeac, the birthplace of Jean-François Champollion, medieval streets and elegant townhouses tell the story of centuries past. Finally, no description of Haut-Quercy would be complete without mentioning Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the magnificent hilltop village overlooking the Lot Valley. Its timeless beauty has inspired generations of artists and earned it a place among the most picturesque villages in France.
Haut-Quercy is a land of authenticity where heritage, nature, gastronomy, and the French art of living blend in perfect harmony. It is a region that appeals equally to lovers of historic architecture, unspoilt landscapes, and exceptional properties—where every village, every valley, and every stone tells a story.
