About Us What makes you give up your life in the Netherlands and move to France? Well... it’s the love for France, the French people, the mentality, the authenticity, the sunshine, the food, the beautiful landscapes... and we could go on and on. We dreamed of having space around us, fresh air, and wide-open views. Sun and rustling trees. Somewhere along the way, the seed of moving was planted, and the desire only grew stronger. Since November 22, 2023, we are proud owners of the beautiful **Domaine de Belbouys** – a magical place with a grand ‘Maison Forte’ and 2 gites, surrounded by 35 hectares of forest and meadows, in the South of France, in the Lot region. We feel incredibly at home here and are excited to share this beautiful place with guests who enjoy peace, space, and the French way of life! Gudo Messink and Iris Pinkster

Soturac is located in the Lot, but both the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne are nearby. These regions are renowned for their picturesque beauty, rich history, and authentic French charm, making them the perfect destination for anyone looking to rent a holiday home in France. The picturesque villages, with their narrow streets and charming squares, have been well-preserved over the years and retain their medieval charm. You can enjoy leisurely strolls through the atmospheric old towns such as Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Montpazier, and Monflanquin. What truly makes the region special are the lively markets and brocantes (flea markets), which can be found throughout the villages and towns. Every week, you can discover the flavors and scents of fresh local produce. From goat cheese and truffles to freshly baked baguettes and homemade jams – the markets are a feast for the senses. The marché gourmand, a sort of evening food market, offers a great opportunity to enjoy local delicacies. For history and culture enthusiasts, there are countless castles and medieval fortifications that invite you to explore. Castles such as Château de Bonaguil, Biron, and Château de Beynac transport you back in time, offering stunning views over the surrounding valleys and rivers. Domaine de Belbouys is the perfect base to experience real French life: from markets and culinary delights to beautiful nature and historical landmarks. Not to mention the many great little restaurants, with our favorite just 5 minutes away! This region offers everything you could possibly wish for an unforgettable holiday.
