About Us
We’re a British family living in Germany, united by a love of music, travel, and Europe. Our journey together began in Derbyshire, where early school exchanges and youth brass band tours took us to France, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and even Canada. Music opened the door to travel, and those first adventures inspired a lifelong passion for discovering new places and cultures.
Over the years we’ve explored much of Europe: Interrail trips from Italy to Denmark, campervan holidays in Brittany and Normandy, and countless ski trips to Austria, France, Finland, Andorra, and Switzerland. We’ve also ventured further afield to the Caribbean and the USA, but it is Europe — and France in particular — that has always felt like home.
In 2005, we bought a maison secondaire in the tranquil northern Mayenne, and it quickly became the heart of our family holidays.
By 2018, we wanted to share this beautiful region with others. We found two wonderful houses which we renovated with one goal in mind: to create a true home for your holiday. Comfortable, well equipped, and welcoming, they offer everything you need for a relaxing stay.
In 2021, we added another property in nearby St Fraimbault, further growing our little family of gîtes.
Since 2012, we have also lived and worked in Berlin, a city we love for its energy and culture. Today, we divide our lives between Germany and France, still inspired by the same passions that began on those first school trips: music, travel, and a love of Europe. Our greatest pleasure is welcoming guests and helping them discover the charm, beauty, and slower pace of life in this very special corner of France.
