Night market Duras (Thurs).
Boat trip in Bergerac.
Lunch in the main square Eymet.
Had a wonderful relaxing time on holiday staying in this cosy and beautiful villa We loved the pool especially the floats and played ping pong every night. The weather was hot and sunny all week which was really nice compared to cloudy England.
Thank you so much for having us and helping us settle in.
Thank you Kim and Jules, for providing such a lovely gite which is so beautifully furnished and well equipped. The garden and pool have been a pleasure to relax in, the pool is so clean and warm. It was lovely to enjoy our coffee on the terrace in the morning and a wonderful place to sit to listen and watch the thunderstorms!
You are such good hots and nothing is too much trouble for you, you have both made us feel so welcome and totally at home. We will certainly be back!
Tips:
Issigeac market on Sunday.
Eymet market and restaurants. Paco restaurant, reasonable priced and excellent food.
Famille moutier, Thenac (Monestier) is well worth a visit, food and service excellent.
A wonderful couple of weeks staying at Gite Lavanade. The weather has been wonderful albeit a few cloudy days which enabled us to explore the surrounding countryside, which is beautiful.
A big thank you to Kim and Jules for being so helpful and allowing us to socially meet, enjoyed it so much.
Tips:
Bergerac is worth a visit.
Eymet is a must for restaurants, brocante fairs and markets.
Issigeac a medieval village is worth a visit.
We had a lovely holiday at Gite Lavande The Gite was so clean and prettily furnished, the kitchen so well equipped with everything we needed.
The outside was beautifully kept, the pool was cleaned each day and was lovely and warm, with 6 sun beds snd 3 good umbrellas it was a pleasure to use.
The bbq was a really good one and the seating areas lovely with another large umbrella over the table for hot days. The front veranda was a lovely place to sit for the early morning sunshine or when it was very hot.
Kim and Julian could not have been more welcoming and friendly. They provided a welcome basket which also included some of Kim’s delicious homemade jam. They were unobtrusive but there if we needed anything.
Kind regards
Heather

Lovely gite.
We had a great week at Gite Lavande. The house is very comfortable and well equipped, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the fantastic pool. Located within reach of lovely bastide towns and we enjoyed getting fresh croissants from the local boulangerie (5 mins drive) in the mornings. The owners live on-site and were extremely welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home away from home.
Visited this beautiful property early June. All furnishings of a high standard and very clean. Jules maintained the pool every day. The gardens are stunning and its on a nice quiet road if you want to get away from a busy town. Lots to do in the area, most within a 15 minute drive. Kim gave us some of her delicious homemade jam to add to a welcome basket of croissants and wine. We are hoping to get back and stay again. Recommend restaurants in Eymet, the Chateau at Duras, with coffee shops and bars in the centre. Marmande is lovely too and we would recommend La Creperie to eat. The churches are beautiful and gave a nice reprieve from the heat. You must go and see the chuch in Allemans Du Dropt. It is stunning. Nice bakery and grocery shop too. The cafe only sells drinks but let us bring goods from the bakery to enjoy with our coffee. Thanks to Jules and Kim for letting us stay in your beautiful rental. Regards Marie, Kevin & family.
What a wonderful gite you have worked so hard to create!
We have loved being here to relax on our final holiday/ babymoon.
Thank you very much for your hospitality. The area is stunning, quiet and the local market was just perfect.
We are honoured to be the last guests of your first season and hope that you’ll fondly remember the parking incident.
We didn’t venture far, we came for a total chillout holiday. We will come back another year and explore a little. We loved the local town Miramont de Guyenne it is very charming. The market was full of lovely goodies which we enjoyed and the bakery was absolute perfection.
We’ve had a wonderful 6 days in the gite. The weather has been fabulous. Both my daughters were in need of a restful holiday so we haven’t done much but enjoy the pool and local countryside. Kim and Jules went out of their way to welcome us on our late arrival after a delayed flight.
They have been so kind to Arya (our 18 month old) buying a slide for her to enjoy the pool and even lending her their granddaughter’s wendy house – both great hits. If we’d been able to spend more time here we would have loved to do some pottery throwing with them.
Jules recommended ‘La Camelia’ near Allemans du Dropt for genuine French cuisine with no frills at a great price. We had lunch there it was thoroughly enjoyable! and cheap.
Wish we could have stayed longer. Can’t thank you enough Kim and Jules! Fab hosts!!
Kim and Jules are excellent hosts, very friendly and made us very comfortable.
The gite is well kept and is a great base for everyone wishing to explore the Dordogne region. We would recommend this gite to anyone as this gite has everything and is only made better by the local markets. We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying and couldn’t ask for better hosts.
Recommendations: Eymet, canoeing down the Dordogne, Visited Cap Ferret, Bordeaux, Duras markets, Agen, Monteton night markets, Casteljeloux aqua park and freshwater lake.
All well worth a visit!!
Thank you for having us.
A fantastic location, made very welcome by Jules and Kim – great hosts. We enjoyed our time very much and thoroughly recommend the gite to anyone wishing to use it as a base to explore the Lot-et-Garonne and further afield into the Dordogne. Lots to see and do – all within an hour to an hour and a half drive.
Accommodation is of a very high standard, set in excellent gardens with a fantastic pool.
Highlights from our stay: Eymet, Issegeac, Beaumont en Perrigord, Duras, Cadouin and Chateau Beron, Aubeterre sur Dronne. All well worth a visit, great places to eat out + pretty locations.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
Kim and Jules are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. Lovely comfortable gite and a fantastic pool to cool off in 40 degrees of heatwave!
Visited Chateuau Duras, had a splash in the Dropt with paddle boards and visited chateaux Molliere (family run vineyard). Also enjoyed Eymet market and a day trip to Bergerac.
Great restaurants, enjoyed l’Hosterie des Ducs (Duras), La Cour d’ Eymet and Walnut in Eymet.
Lots to see in the area, a week is only just enough time to pack it all in!
Thank you.
Kim and Jules are fab hosts, couldn’t have been more welcoming, wine and bread were lovely arrival gifts.
We found the gite to have everything we needed, the pool was a great hit for us and the children at all times of the day.
Local markets are well worth going to for local produce, Duras personally is the better one plus the bonus of the chateau. Eyemt is a lovely spot for an evening meal 7pm onwards.
BBQ is great, shop at Intermarche as it has the best range of everything. Nite closes at 7.30pm.
Aqua park and freshwater lake with sandy beach at Lac de Clarens at Casteljeloux a great day out, take a parasol.
Thank you for having us.

Our stay at Gite Lavande at Romagne was everything you could want. A well equipped Gite and wonderful swimming pool. The garden is very pretty and a lovely area. The couple who own the gite are very welcoming and charming and are willing to help with anything you need.
Can’t wait to go back.
This property is new as a holiday rental for the 2022 season, be one of the first to stay here.
