By his side is <strong>Leika<\/strong>, our loyal and enthusiastic dog who shares his passion, along with <strong>Lino the cat<\/strong>, a calm observer of the world, and a small group of <strong>rescue hens<\/strong> whose eggs you may get to enjoy during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These hens, known as &#8220;retired layers&#8221;, were rescued from industrial farms after being considered too old for commercial egg production. Though no longer \u201cprofitable\u201d, they\u2019re still perfectly happy scratching in the grass, soaking up the sun, and laying eggs at their own gentle pace. Giving them a second life is a small gesture that makes sense to us \u2013 and it means we can offer our guests <strong>fresh, ethical eggs<\/strong> every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fresh start, a long-held dream&#8230; and a love at first sight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our story changed course in 2020, during lockdown. At the time, we were living in the city and working in digital and crafts \u2013 yet we increasingly felt out of step with that life. Eventually, we asked ourselves the big question: <strong>what if we completely changed everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d always dreamed of living in the countryside, but never quite dared to make the leap. Then one day, we came across this charming property on the edge of a village, with <strong>three beautiful g\u00eetes<\/strong>, a house full of character, endless skies and fields all around. It just made sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of 2021, we moved here together, as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four years on\u2026 and we still love it more every day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, four years later, our love for this place has only grown. Each season brings something new to appreciate \u2013 a new idea to develop, a new guest to meet, a new corner of the garden to fall in love with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things we value most here is the <strong>warmth of the local community<\/strong>. People in the P\u00e9rigord are welcoming, open, and genuinely kind. The local life is full of energy \u2013 from passionate farmers to talented artisans, village festivals, and neighbours who greet you like old friends. That generosity of spirit is something we deeply cherish, and it\u2019s what we hope to share with our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A family g\u00eete in the Dordogne \u2013 and so much more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have lots of plans for improving the g\u00eetes and the land: a shared vegetable garden, a reading nook under the trees, an outdoor kitchen, and maybe one day even a little wellness area. But more than anything, we simply want to <strong>welcome you like we would welcome friends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re here for a peaceful weekend, a family holiday, or a foodie escape, we\u2019re happy to share tips if you need them \u2013 or leave you to enjoy the calm if that\u2019s what you\u2019re after \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/lapetiteaubergegites.com\/en\/\">Explore our g\u00eetes and book your stay here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>La Petite Auberge<\/strong> is our home, our adventure, and the dream we made real.<br>And we truly hope that when you stay here, you\u2019ll feel just as good as we do \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re curious to know who\u2019s behind the g\u00eetes and the little welcome notes, make yourself comfortable \u2013 we\u2019d love to tell you our story.
