This Is Our Story
We are John, Eloise & Benjamin, a Dutch family who moved to France to restore a 16th century chateau. We're building a new home and an intimate holiday retreat in the wild & undiscovered Limousin region. Our holiday homes are comfortable and set-up with everything you need. The perfect place to relax by the swimming pool or enjoy our handpicked adventures and explore the best of France.
We currently have 1 house available, and are working hard to open our 2nd house later this year. On instagram, you can follow our progress and get to know us, our charming 16th century chateau and the beautiful wild place we live in.

Testimonials
"It is the perfect place for some peace a quite as well as adventures with a little one. our family slept amazingly after playing and hiking outdoors during the day and enjoying the warm evenings together with French food and wine.
The beds have high quality mattresses and lovely, fresh bedsheets which was definitely a plus for us: we appreciated John and Eloise’s eye for detail for every aspect of our stay.

“We had a wonderful experience at The chateau. Eloise and John were great hosts. Maison Jourdaine is clean and comfortable - it has a modern feel to it, while preserving many of the original features.
The property is very quiet and situated in a stunning region. We had a great time exploring the area. Eloise even gave us a suggested itinerary for the week and made every effort to ensure we had a great experience.
Our biggest regret is that we did not stay longer.”
Jemma
“We really enjoyed the chateau! The beautiful, nice house, the beautiful surroundings and the warm welcome feeling. We lacked for nothing.
There is plenty to do in the area, which means that you can create a perfect combination of tranquility, enjoying the beautiful green surroundings and various activities.
And when it's warm, you can take a nice dip in the pool.
In short; really recommended! And for us certainly worth repeating. We'd love to come back.”
