My name is Steve and I moved to the Dordogne over 12 years ago. I adore this part of France, its tranquil and scenic with beautiful river beaches and historic buildings. I an forever discovering new places and sights. I would love to welcome you to stay at La Maison Catalpa and to enjoy the region for yourself. Located in the Dordogne but border the Charente.

Aubeterre sur Dronne, 10 minutes drive. Officially listed as one of 'The Most Beautiful Villages in France' since 1993, it has welcomed pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella in north west Spain, visitors and tourists for over 1000 years. Two important historical monuments add to the cultural status of Aubeterre sur Dronne; the extraordinary, monolithic, underground Church of St Jean and the Romanesque Church of St Jacques, with its stunning façade. Visitors and tourists can enjoy meandering through the ups and downs of the narrow streets, popping in to admire the many specialist shops, including a leather worker and potters, and then settling down in the village square, Place Trarieux, at one of the cafés or restaurants, comfortably shaded by ancient lime trees. For the energetic visitor there are activities aplenty. Aubeterre sur Dronne has been designated a “Station Verte” for over 25 years. At the foot of the village, where the meadows meet the River Dronne, are to be found a river beach and restaurant. Market day in Aubeterre is on a Sunday morning.
