Histoire du gîte de Michel et Jean Pierre

Dive into the history of Périgord
with Michèle & Jean-Pierre

20 years ago, Michèle and Jean-Pierre discovered the medieval city of Sarlat, its preserved countryside, and the jewels of local gastronomy.

Falling under the spell, they decided to leave the city to settle in the green landscapes of Périgord. They chose to renovate an old Périgord farm to accommodate travelers and share their love of the region. By immersing themselves in the traditions of the region, they developed their project: Jean-Pierre opened his wine cellar, and Michèle devoted herself to Périgord cuisine.

Thus began the adventure of Bonheur dans notre pré, a story marked by the beauty of their encounters, the calm of the countryside, and the flavors of the region.
