Owner profile
David and Jean Black enjoying life here in France
About the owner
We moved to Pomerols from Bournemouth England in 2001, we knew nobody, we did not speak French, we did not know the region. Now, Pomerols is our home, we know so many wonder people from all parts of the world. Our French friends have been wonderful and embarrassed us, with open hearts and arms. We speak enough french now, to be able to spend quality time with our 'Special French Friend', which we call our french family, to really get the most out of our new life in France. We have discovered so many wonderful places to visit. Life here is just what we thought it would be.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We needed income, as work here is hard to find for both the French and all other nationalities. So we purchased No. 13, (unlucky for some) not for us. We renovated it to a high standard, which we still maintain till this day. The house revealed such wonderful original features during the renovation, including a 17th century arch door way, which was hidden behind the old plaster. Wow.....
Unique benefits of the property
The benefits of this house, it has the charm and atmosphere of the old with the new, with al the modern day essentials. The neighbours make all our guests very welcome. It is situated in the heart of the ancient village with all the local shops just seconds away.
