The creation of our perfect little paradise
We’re inspired by nature, fueled by our passion for food and happiest when we can make our guests feel at home. That’s why we decided to create Petite Vallée. Our goal is to create a place where nature, people and food come together. A place where we can welcome guests to share our lifestyle, passion and food with.
We are Hans, Yasmin, Faas & Bowie. A Dutch family from Amsterdam. In 2018 we decided to quit our marketing- and manager jobs. We sat behind a computer screen all day and were not working from our hearts. We chose a new lifestyle and we traveled from Canada to Panama in a small campervan. A life changing experience.
Two years of time, space and almost no wifi gave us the chance to dream. Slowly the picture became clear: a place in nature with wide open views, a handful of gîtes and tents to welcome guests, a large vegetable garden and a small food forest. A place where we could cook straight from the garden and celebrate life in a country with one of the richest food cultures in the world.
We decided to go back to Europe to map out our ideas and to find the perfect location for our project. That summer, we both lost our hearts in the Dordogne. The amazing and diversified landscapes, the deeply rooted food culture and the ‘joie de vivre’ made us fall in love.
Petite Vallée was born…
We stumbled upon a beautiful little valley in the heart of the ‘fairytale like’ Perigord Noir. A land of dense oak forests, winding rivers and famous for it’s incredible food. There is so much to do and explore in the area, but at the same time you feel far away from it all in our peaceful little valley. Petite Vallée offers two charming stone built houses that scatter the property. They enjoy incredible privacy. And two lovely safaritents for a genuine glamping experience under the stars. A swimmingpool provides a fresh dip in the warm summers. In the middle of it all you will find the permaculture garden that provides organic and home grown produce for our table d’hôtes menu twice a week.
