The general Area

The Dordogne is located on the western foothills of the Massif Central. The area extends from the Limousin in the north, a sparsely populated, poor region, the sunny valleys of Aquitaine in the west and the fertile valley of the Garonne in the south. The area consists of the Dordogne and Lot, on the French Revolution called Périgord and Quercy. These names are still used as a local name and you could say that the Perigord and Quercy along with the Dordogne form.

The area consists mainly of a limestone plateau that here and there reaches a thickness of several hundred meters. In many cracks, cracks and crevices can quickly drain the water. By contraction and movement of the earth beneath the limestone crust natural caves occur, causing the water flowing in the course of time impressive stalactites were formed. Thanks to the many rivers that between high cliffs cut through the area, such as the Dordogne, Lot and Cele, Isle and Vezere valleys are created with very fertile silt.

The most important economic activities and there are fields of corn, tobacco, sunflowers, strawberries and asparagus, but also brickyards and the breeding of cattle, ducks and geese. Most towns and cities are located in the valleys. The hills are covered with forests full of game. Hunting is therefore the national sport number one.

In the Périgord Noir, the eastern part around the city Sartat, it is mainly the dense, dark oak forests that the image and set the atmosphere. In the Perigord vert, the northern part around Brantome and Nontron, the lower hills, the slopes friendlier and less dense forests, which somewhat transparent landscape. Between these two areas is the Perigord Blanc, the region around Périgueux, where the soil by the calcareous substrates is slightly turned white. The Purple Perigord, a region in the west of the Dordogne around Bergerac, is so named because of the many vineyards. At the beginning of the fourth glaciation, 30,000 years BC-attracted many tribes from the east and north of Europe to the valley of the Vezere, where a considerably milder climate prevailed. The area was also ideal because of the many caves and caverns that an ideal shelter from the cold and potential enemies, while in the fertile, narrow valleys rich in wildlife lived so easy to catch that there was time lap to the weapons and improve rock drawings (Lascaux).

The Dordogne was also the scene of the Hundred Years War between England and France (1337-1453). There were many strategically located castles, fortified churches and villages built to protect the area. Many of these buildings are well preserved by the ideal climate: hot and dry in summer, mild in winter.

Dear Wilbert and Willemien. Great how the kids got excited about the balls adventure in the pool! What a party !! We enjoyed.

Many thanks for the welcoming reception and the delicious food on the first night. Very enjoyable that you know so much about the area and came up with super nice ideas such as trout fishing, smoking and eating. It was very nice. We enjoyed !

Dear Willemien and Wilbert. We would like to thank you for the fantastic stay at Font Neuve. It was super, until next year!

We have now been here for the second time on holiday. We went sailing with the canoe and that was great fun. The trampoline here is super nice. Wilbert and Willemien are very nice and play a lot with the children. I think it’s great that Wilbert always goes to the bakery in the morning and brings lots of goodies. I definitely want to come back again !!

It was fun this year and the best thing was swimming with ice and the hut. I liked it very much. Also swimming in the night and the jacuzzi. Wilbert and Willemien I really liked it here. Especially the stone painting was great. We will be happy to come back.

Dear Willemien and Wilbert. Thank you for all your worries and your enormous hospitality. We enjoyed !!

Typical 2018 reviews from all 5 villas

So good I’m tempted to avoid attracting others….A lovely property. The facilities are shared, but exceptionally good and there was plenty of space for outside games (frisbee, football, badminton). We enjoyed meeting people from the other properties and on one night the owners laid on a fantastic communal meal. The owners who live in a property about 200m away, were continuously cheerful and helpful – never intrusive but a real asset. Other than the 2-3 families we shared our stay with, the property is beautifully isolated and self contained – yet has easy access to many of the Dordogne’s wonderful sights. For a family with children, happy to meet and share with a small number of other guests – this is an absolute gem. The guests we shared with were all loyal returners!

Wilbert and Willemene are the perfect hosts. Friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and go out of their way to make you comfortable.  The property is so peaceful and beautiful.  There are lots of fun activities on the property as well as incredible sights nearby.  We would love to come back!

“We have lost count slightly but according to us this was our ninth visit to Beau Foret. When you have very fond memories of a place you run the risk of the memory being better than reality. However, our holidays at Beau Foret continue to surprise us. We described all the beautiful locations in the surroundings in the guestbook over the last few years but what makes a holiday at Beau Foret so special is that you feel completely at home and can fully relax. It is wonderful to spend such a great and carefree time with each other. Beau Foret will always have a special place in our heart and for our children be a part of their childhood memories. You turn it in to the highlight it has been for years. Many thanks for that! When we arrived the fifth time you surprised us with champagne on the terrace. We look forward to our tenth arrival!
With kind regards Hein, Marie-Jeanne.

“For the third time we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beau Foret, we had a great time. Our grandchildren really didn’t want to go home but sadly everything comes to an end.”

“We really enjoyed your beautiful house, the wonderful food that you prepared for us, the beaming faces of the grandchildren while building the hut, the quest and the archery.
Thank you once again and you will definitely see us again…!!”
Many kind regards Henk & Nel, Saskia, Reinhold, Gijs, Teun, Koen, Jane & Mees.

“This year was our first time at Beau Foret…and it bears repetition. It was fabulous. The surroundings, your hospitality, the lovely cottages. Thank you so much! Our daughter also had a lovely holiday. It is so nice how you involve the children in everything. She enjoyed looking for the eggs, jumping on the trampoline and making the lavender sachets. Once again our thanks and until next time.”
Love Els, Sergio, Charlotte  & Veerle.

“Every now and again you encounter paradise. Beau Foret is one of those places! Thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality. Merci, merci!”
Sunny greetings Linda, Ralphe & Tim

“The past 2 weeks we thoroughly enjoyed this unique place: the peacefulness, the space, the swimming pool, the lovely surroundings and the great weather. But what makes this place so unique is your kindness and cordiality. The two nights when you cooked for all the guests were great fun and the food was excellent! We were even able to go out for a carefree dinner ! We had a fantastic evening and the children enjoyed baking pancakes and doing arts and crafts! You are a unique couple!”
Cordial regards Dirk, Ariane, Mila, Iwan & Jonathan.

“I had such a great time again! Can I come back next year? I have swum a lot (without arm bands). I think the swimming teacher will be very proud when I return to swimming lessons after the holiday! The whirlpool was a real treat. See you next year!”
Hugs, Luuk

“Our 2 wonderful weeks are almost over already! 🙁 For the second time we enjoyed your beautiful estate and your personal attention. The two campfires, the dinners, the ‘tough boys’ night! Everything was fun and well organised. Our son played in the ‘secret hut’ for hours. The babysitting was a great success: the boys enjoyed baking pancakes and playing restaurant at your house, we enjoyed each other’s company and the food at Chateau de la Treyne. Thank you for your kindness. We hope you will continue to run Beau Foret this way for a long time because we want to return often.”

“We have had a fantastic week with you. Thank you for all your kindness and attention: for us but especially for the boys. All guests combined 11 boys!! Super fun and W & W Co. organised games and activities with lots of love and fun. Our children and (therefore) we as well have thoroughly enjoyed the archery, campfire, the ‘secret hut’, the trampoline and the swimming pool. About 10 pages on (don’t ask me why?) our children wrote their own piece. It speaks for itself! ………..
Yes! The Netherlands won another gold medal but this time for the best holiday ever 🙂 I hope to return as soon as possible.”

“This is our third visit and every time it is a pleasant surprise: the location, the sun, and the rest. The two of you make the most important difference. The personal approach and effort and enthusiasm make the difference. Thank you for that.”

“Sadly time flies here, our time is already up: We really want to thank you for our two wonderful weeks of holiday at Beau Foret!!! The sunshine, the peace, the swimming pool, our lovely cottage, the trampoline, the hammock, the ‘tough boys’ night, the enjoyable evening having dinner with everybody….we enjoyed it!!

Our children also enjoyed it: feeding the chickens and finding eggs, the rides with Wilbert or Willemien in the golf cart, the water fight with Wilbert at the swimming pool :-), the whirlpool, arts and crafts at our big kitchen table in our cottage, playing with all the other boys (11 in total…) And we also really enjoyed it: the outdoor living, the quiet nights underneath the starry sky! In short, thank you for your hospitality and we hope to come here again for another holiday.”

“Our holiday at Beau Foret was FANTASTIC; we were surprised by the beauty of the location and its surroundings. We keep a good memory of the owners, there is such a perfect ambiance and there is enough privacy for everyone. We will definitely come back.”
The de Goey family,
