The experience

A house designed for slower days and longer evenings

More than a holiday rental, this is a house shaped by light, generous volumes, shaded outdoor spaces, and the calm of the surrounding garden.

The atmosphere is simple, elegant, and deeply restful — a place to gather, swim, read, dine outdoors, and enjoy the Dordogne at a different pace.

A house with a story

An artistic legacy, without the clichés of a standard rental

Once the home of sculptor Pierre Traverse and is now owned by three of his grand grand sons. He is known for works created for the Trocadéro in Paris, the house offers more than a place to stay.

It has presence, memory, and a rare sense of character. Its artistic legacy still shapes the atmosphere of the house today, making each stay feel more personal and memorable.

Portrait of sculptor Pierre Traverse, whose artistic legacy still shapes the atmosphere of the house

Pierre Traverse

The house once belonged to Pierre Traverse, a sculptor associated with works at the Trocadéro in Paris. This heritage gives the property a distinctive identity and a quiet sense of depth.

Rather than a standard holiday rental, the house feels lived-in, rooted, and memorable — a place with atmosphere as much as comfort.
