We love France! We are fortunate to be the custodians of a beautiful, spacious home in a very beautiful part of the country. Having spent most of his life in the UK in a variety of roles within tourism and hospitality, Peter has returned to the area where he lived and worked for ten years running a carp angling business. Linda also worked in hospitality and formerly in nursing. We enjoy travelling and the natural world. We have a passion for cooking and enjoying good food and wine, so a return to the cradle of gastronomy was natural for us! We have enjoyed renovating Place of the Goddess and studying the history of the region. Damvillers was occupied during both world wars. The land still bears the scars of conflict. There are many cemeteries and monuments to the fallen, and the remains of villages devastated by shelling, and declared red zones are nearby. The region is now renowned for its rolling countryside, lakes and rivers, friendly inhabitants and local produce, which Peter and Linda have fallen in love with!
