We had a lovely relaxing, creative few days, swimming, cooking, painting…
I cannot image being anywhere else !
La vie en rose…
We had a lovely stay in your gorgeous house. Everything was so well appointed and we enjoyed full size of the lovely pool and outdoor areas we explored the local towns .Would recommend to castle of Duras and Monsegur’s Friday market. We ate at the Vigiers Castle Bistro Restaurant which served some delicious meal and apple tarts. It was also full at 8 pm on Tuesday night so book in advance. We also tried Mélange in Saussignac . We had the best food we ever had all holiday. Very interesting and intensive meals. A day trip to St Emilion was another highlight 50 minute drive, we stopped at Château Ambre Tour Pourret for a wine tasting which we didn’t have to book in advance a fabulous holiday all around.
We have enjoyed a fabulous stay in this beautiful house. Everything is perfect and the pool has been enjoyed by all.
We had a great day at the rope course park in Sainte Colombe- the children, parents and grandparents all loved it !
The night market in Duras was very busy and had a great atmosphere.
We came in search of relaxation and found everything that we were looking for.
2 weeks of sun, pool, fabulous house, food, wine and fun.
All topped off every day gazing at the amazing night sky full of stars.
Thank you for a great stay.
We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful house. We loved the swimming pool, table tennis and all outdoor seating areas.
Thank you ! We hope to return some day.
A wonderfully week at JF !! it was gone so quickly.
Our extended family have made some special memories here.
A beautiful house and garden.
Superb lunches and wine tasting in the surrounding area and plenty of relaxing, swimming and table tennis.
Its a long way to come back but who knows ?
This was our second stay at Jolie Fleuron and it didn’t disappoint. The house is extremely well equipped and comfortable and the hosts even provided a welcome basket with a few essential groceries which we really needed! The outdoor area is spectacular, lots of different areas to relax or lounge by the pool. My kids enjoyed kicking a soccer ball around in the large front garden. We would definitely look to book again.
First off, your hospitality was so perfect! And sweet Anne for brining us wine on the first night. -so kind! I’m sorry we weren’t able to meet in person. Second, the house was the most beautiful home. So much better then we ever imaged! The rooms, the decor, the pool, the coziness, the outside table where we ate dinner every night, the grounds… I can go on and on. Just beautiful!!!
Bonjour Frederic,
And we are back again. We really enjoyed our stay at Jolifleuron, though the weather was not helpful – the pool was almost too cold to swim in, although it was heated – the kids did use it but didn’t stay in for long and were really cold when they got out – I only swum once and my two girls not at all! It was a shame too that so many of the other activities are only open in the summer season – but we enjoyed the markets and had a lovely meal out at the Italian in Eymet one evening. Great food.
We had a fabulous time at Joli Fleuron and probably spent lore time in the house because we didn’t want to leave ! Managing to provide luxury yet child friendly. The whole family enjoyed the pool, games on the lawn, movies nights in the lounge and eating and drinking every night on the.
All holidays should be like this ! Perfect. We would love to come back.
We had great time at Joli Fleuron with a real nice and hot September month.The house is really big and super well equipped. Lots of details and little thoughts have made our stay so wonderful. Frederic was very reactive and always very friendly .We loved also the large garden and the old trees providing good shade in the afternoon. The pool was amazing, very large and lots space around with a fabulous view to Duras. The region is great for a mix between food, history and wines.. perfect holidays, Thanks !
What a wonderful week in a beautiful house. So well equipped. It had everything we needed. Thank you !
We’ve had a wonderful week and enjoyed the house, particularly the pool. Everything we’ve needed has been here.The steam oven cocks vegetables magnificently. Enjoyed a wonderful meal at Le Camelia. Would love to come again.
We had such a relaxing holiday!
Beautiful house and garden with lovely quality finish.
Thank you for a wonderful stay !
We are returning guest with our gran children. The house is perfect to welcome children . The pool area is very secure. We love the region, the farmer markets, the bastide and the local wine. It is a very calm area to relax and enjoy holiday. We will return next year.
What a great house with and amazing view.The house is very well maintained and well equipped. The garden is great with lots for space and games. We had lots of fun in the large pool and lots of BBQ and wines on the nice terrace… We would love to come back !!
Thank you so much for a lovely week at Joli Fleuron ! We had a fabulous time. Beautiful well equipped house and fantastic pool.Lots of swimming with family. Lovely markets and amazing vineyards.
Perfect for families.Accommodations are excellent, large garden and very secure pool area.Lots of outdoor play, table, chairs to be able to enjoy beautiful setting.
I can honestly say our group of nine adults were somewhat taken aback by the quality of the premises – we have never stayed anywhere so very well equipped. I cannot believe anyone in our group would rate it less than nine out of ten in any questionnaire. If we were to find any fault at all, it would be for a group of not infirm, but less mobile than we used to be, some form of hand rail by the steps to the pool would be a great benefit.
We really enjoyed our week at Joli Fleuron. The house is decorated and appointed to a high standard with high quality beds, furniture and equipment so it was very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful but within very easy reach of Duras with everything you need. A great location to explore the region with many popular towns close by. Our host Frederick was very helpful and friendly and gave us ideas and suggestions as well as being easy to contact, that made our stay even better. Highly recommended host and property.
Just back from a back from a wonderful week in Jolifleuron. The house was beautiful and so well equipped. Everything was spotlessly clean and so well maintained. The pool area was fabulous and so well appointed . Frederic was so very helpful and available to answer all our queries. A lovely gift was awaiting me on our arrival to mark my upcoming milestone Birthday which was very thoughtful . I would highly recommend a stay in Jolifleuron
Anne
My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Joli Fleuron. The house is perfect for a group our size (7). It is spacious, the en suite bedrooms are really well maintained, as is the open plan kitchen and elegant living room. There is lots of outdoor garden furniture, which we appreciated. The pool is very well looked after and the garden around the house is beautiful. There was nothing we would change. I would highly recommend the Joli Fleuron to anyone looking stay in the Lot et Garonne area – so much so that we might try and go back next year ourselves.
A big thanks to you for making it such a memorable holiday.
Thanks very much
Many thanks for a such a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in rural south west France!
Joli Fleuron is a spectacular property that catered incredibly well for the needs of our multigenerational party. The grounds of the house are vast. Our family greatly enjoyed the heated pool, table tennis and relaxing in the wonderful garden.
The rental experience was very straight forward from beginning to end. I can’t thank the property manager, Frédéric enough. He has a very agreeable manner, is incredibly responsive and always helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
We stayed at Joli Fleuron in July with our daughter, husband and 3 young children under 3. This is our second stay, the first being pre-Covid and we were delighted to see the standards at this wonderful property are as high as ever. It is a perfect place to relax and completely safe for children including toddlers. Hugely spacious and well equipped inside, the outside is beautiful with everything you need for a holiday. With Duras with it’s shops, restaurants and markets only 5 minutes drive away, it really is a perfect spot!
Very relaxing and peaceful holiday with our 2 babies in this beautiful maison de maitre !
Great pool, beautiful house, very warm welcome from Frédéric.
Great farmer market in Duras…we will come back.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful house. The landscape is amazing and the area so peaceful.
We came with our baby and it was just perfect and very relaxing.
We loved the pool and the terrace.
We came for the birthday of my mam together the rest of the family.
The house is very comfortable and relaxed, we could even use the chimney.
We’ve welcomed by Frédéric and its great flower arrangements.
We had a fantastic week. The pool was great, lots of space in the house.
Petra, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us.
We had a great week at Joli Fleuron. The house is huge and very comfortable. The heating was working perfectly but we couldn’t use the pool as it was too cold.
Thanks Frédéric to all your attention to little details, we will definitely come back.
Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful french house for a week. What an amazing base camp to explore from! Would love to come and stay again!
Our second year at Joli Fleuron and just as much fun as the first. Major water battles in the pool, soaking up the sun, table tennis, archery on the lawn. We boogied at the night market and had lovely meals on the terrace sampling the area’s wines. Hopefully see you next year for round 3!
We have just finnished a magical two week stay at Joli fleuron. Particualr highlights include dinner on the terrace watching the sunset with a bottle of pink, night markets, swiming in the pool and seeing the Milky Way whilst star gazing!
So we came back again this year. Once again we spent loads of fun family time by the pool, played loads of badminton and frisbee and barbecued every night. Loved the house again this year and enjoyed some really special happy times. Dare we make it three years in a row?!
The surroundings are delightful, the house is very well-equipped and John and Debbie are amazing hosts. We would truly recommend your villa!
Thank you for a wonderful stay in Joli Fleuron – we loved it! A beautiful house in a beautiful area.
We have had a great week at beautiful Joli Fleuron celebrating my 60th birthday with family and then friends. Perfect for what we wanted. Everyone has loved it. We will read the word!

Managing to provide luxury yet be child friendly – the whole family enjoyed the pool, games on the lawn, movie nights in the lounge and eating and drinking every night. All holidays should be like this! Perfect! We would love to come back!
Wonderful Time
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The house is stunning, a lot of work and thought has gone into the detail of Joli Fleuron.
We had four couples staying as our guests from as far as Australia, Spain and Norway everybody loved the house.
It has a lovely laid back feel to it, the house is very well equipped for entertaining.
Would recommend Durras for the evening food market in the summer, local super market for essentials.
If its your first time driving in France don’t panic, the roads are easy not much traffic and less hassle than the UK life is a slower pace here.
The house is central for St Emillion, Bergerac and a little bit further Bordeaux.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Perfect for families. Accommodation excellent with large gardens and very secure pool area. Lots of outdoor play equipment, tables and chairs to be able to enjoy the beautiful setting.
Wonderful retreat

We loved our stay in this beautiful French chateau. The pool was a real hit with the kids, the kitchen and dining a real hit with the grown ups, and the local area a real hit with everyone.

Fabulous house with large pool in great location
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had an amazing week at Joli Fleuron in July 2016. The house was perfect as a base for an extended family get together. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean and with every attention to detail. The surrounding area was beautiful – although we would have been very happy spending the entire week at the house, in the pool and drinking local wines! The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will hopefully be back in the not too distant future.

Perfect Home Away From Home

The house is perfect, stocked with anything you could need including a lovely welcome basket & lots of info about local shopping, markets & restaurants. The pool, gardens, views & rooms are wonderfully placed to be able to enjoy your stay. We could have easily stayed there another week. Thank you for the lovely holiday!
