About

Welcome to the lodges Bois des Combes! Passionate about beautiful stones and renovation, we needed 6 years of work, so that our two charming cottages see the light of day.
Located in a small hamlet a few steps from Brantôme, this old outhouse  has belonged to my family since the end of the 19th century.
From a small village a few kilometers from Les Combes, invested in local life, I aspired to welcome holidaymakers by offering them an enchanting setting  for a stay in Périgord.

We have renovated  this building consists of two adjoining spaces partly by ourselves.
In 2016,  the work of the "Petite Maison" began, the first phase of this beautiful adventure.  We spent our weekends and our days off, with our two children, designing, thinking, imagining the volumes, demolishing and rebuilding . In August 2019, I welcomed the very first holidaymakers there, a very beautiful moment of sharing and happiness.

In the meantime Grange was then only an old building. A few decades ago, it housed the draft horse, Louis, of my great-grandparents.  From a stable, it then transformed into a winery and cellar, my grandfather loved to cultivate vines.
A former winemaker in Cognac, he had learned to make pineau there, a recipe he passed on to us. 
In 2019, we are once again committed to  3 years of additional work. We had set ourselves requirements, we had to demonstrate patience and courage  so that the Grange is the one you will discover.

The use of different types of wood for the renovation of the Gîtes des Bois des Combes was obvious.  My husband is a carpenter, a companion in duty, hence the name Bois des Combes, also due to the beautiful forest that surrounds the property.
 
For 3 years now, I have been happy to welcome families or groups of friends to the Bois des Combes, with always so much joy to exchange and share the good addresses from the land of my childhood.

Photo books retracing this adventure are at your disposal in the lodgings, if you want to know all the story of our chantiers.
All you have to do is come to the Bois des Combes.
Looking forward to welcoming you.
