About the Owner/Advertiser, Mrs Joanna O'Donnell
We are an English couple who decided to give up our jobs in the UK and move to SW France to embrace the laidback French lifestyle. We live at Les Pignons in our beautiful home with our two dogs and six chickens. We love having people to stay with us and take pride in showing you the beautiful area we have chosen to live in.

The Owner Recommends
St Emilion
Arguably the wine capital of the world, St Emilion is around a 25 minute drive from Les ,Pignons and with its cobbled streets, monolithic church and abundance of wine shops and boutiques, is an exceptional historic town to visit.
Bordeaux
The capital city of the region, sitting alongside the Garonne river, Bordeaux is both beautiful and interesting to visit. With an excellent tram system all the sights can be seen in a day, including the opera house, Cite du Vin, the golden triangle, the redeveloped quay area, and of course in the winter, the Christmas market.
Duras castle
Duras is just 10km from Les Pignons and it's magnificent chateau can be seen for miles. A great place to visit added to by a stop at the local artisan chocolate shop on the way home!
Vineyard visits and winetasting
Les Pignons is surrounded by vineyards offering winetasting and if requested, a talk about the wine making process. All can be booked for you by your hosts.
Kayaking on the Dordogne river
A half hour drive brings you to the beautiful Dordogne river where there are a number of opportunities to kayak along this gentle picturesque waterway. With boars available for one, two, three or four people, there is something to suit all groups and can be booked for you by your hosts.
Summer night markets
During the summer months, a number of the local towns hold night markets where people meet to eat a wide selection of food and drink, listen to music and just sit and soak up the french way of life. There is one for most days of the week so if you want a holiday with no cooking, this could be for you!
