I discovered the Dordogne-Bordeaux-Périgord area during a work placement and decided to settle in this delightful part of the world with its rolling countryside where vineyards, woodlands and meadows intermingle. The Dordogne river delimits a change in climate and lifestyle and is the main artery running from East to West ending up in the Atlantic Ocean. I have been working as an estate agent in the Sainte Foy la Grande area, since 2001. This historic and cultural major riverside town offers all types of amenities and is easily accessible by train, motorway and airplane. Tourism is second only to the wine industry with the world famous Saint Emilion only a few miles down the road. We are not short of cultural, sport and gastronomic activities in the region known for its beautiful baside towns. This is the Pays de bon vivre!

The Area of Ste Foy La Grande. At the point where three of France’s administrative departments meet – Gironde, Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne – the Pays Foyen is a little corner of Périgord. Set between Saint-Emilion to the west and Bergerac to the east, this delightful 14th-century fortified town is just waiting to be discovered: its narrow streets, square with arcades, half-timbered houses, etc... The Pays Foyen offers a surprising range of nautical activities (canoeing, boat trips, rowing,...)...

The Pays Foyen offers a surprising range of nautical activities (canoeing, boat trips, rowing,...) and leisure activities (horse riding, flying, cycling, tennis, mountain biking...) and a great many crafts, but also festivals and events all year long. Guest houses, gîtes, hotels, campsites, unusual accommodation in old-fashioned caravans or “bories” (typical Périgord smallholdings) – you are bound to find holiday accommodation suited to your taste! You will also fall under the charm of the town’s Saturday morning market, ranked as one of the top 100 in France.
