About the home
L’Olivier is a beautifully converted barn, ideally located between Aubeterre sur Dronne and Verteillac.
This south facing property sits in grounds of more than an acre and enjoys views of woods and hills. Shops and restaurants are just a short drive away.
A private pool and sun terrace overlook the barn and gardens. Walnuts, figs and cherries can be picked from the many trees in the grounds or just relax in their shade. Sunset dining is a must on one of the terraces after an evening swim. The ever changing landscape views of sunflower and maize fields below the barn are a pleasant reminder of French rural life.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dordogne, which corresponds to the former province of Perigòrd is itself divided into four regions, the Périgord(s) Noir, Blanc, Vert and Rouge. Its geography and natural resources make it one of the untouched regions of Europe and the newly-formed Parc Naturel Périgord-Limousin aims to conserve it as such. It is a fertile, productive landscape dotted with some of the most beautiful villages and castles in France. The climate is temperate with mild winters and long hot summers. The area is noted for its cuisine, particulary its truffles, foie gras and the local Bergerac wines
The Bouteilles-Saint-Sebastien area
Situated to the west of the Dordogne in the Perigord vert region, the hamlet of Vaumoure overlooks the Lizonne River valley which forms the boundary with the Charente.
Mountain bikes (VTT) can be hired nearby, together with canoes on the nearby rivers. Lake Jemaye in the Double Forest is close by, here can be found water sports, swimming areas, beach, and associated activities.
Aubeterre Sur Dronne a spectacular hilltop medieval village is near here, with restaurants, bars and shops. The River Dronne which it overlooks has a beach with canoes and bicycles for hire.
The region is well known for its antiquities, art, Romanesque architecture and of course its cuisine. In addition to the wine and cognac, foods include foie gras, walnuts, strawberries, truffles, pates and cheeses. There are many attractive markets in the area which supply the local restuarants.
