There’s a natural spring 3 minutes from the house. We used to get our drinking water there. Kids like to jump in on hot days.

Renaissance stone home with contemporary kitchen in picturesque village near Bergerac

Eyrenville is 20 minutes from the Bergerac train station and 15 minutes from Roumaniere Airport which has several daily budget flights from the UK.
Our home is the oldest and arguably the prettiest in the village. Its walls are stone, its ceilings tall. Rooms are comfortably furnished, and there are antiques, and contemporary art. The kitchen has a snazzy Italian refrigerator, induction stove, and a German dishwasher and stove/oven. The television is tiny. The garden with its terrace is a fine spot to enjoy a drink or a meal.

Bonjour, chers amis Intervac,
C'est une maison moyenageuse sur la place de petit hameau d'Eyrenville en Plaisance. C'est tout a fait rustique sauf la cuisine qui est dernier cri. Le jardin est tres agreable quand il fait beau--tout petit mais privé et il fait bon prendre les repas sur la terasse. C'est agreablement fourni avec un melange de meubles vieux ou contemporains.
