This is a channel about the life-changing story of two Aussies, who relocated to France in 2023. We bought a deceased property in the small village of Daglan, which includes a Maison, a Gite (B&B) and 4 out-buildings including an old walnut processing plant and carriage house.

We are Darlene and Shaun, an ex-Army Officer and an Engineering and Tech CEO and we have been fortunate enough to retire young and enjoy a quiet life in country France.

Why? Well the reality is we couldn’t see ourselves retiring back in Aus and so we sought this new beginning with little to no idea of what we were getting ourselves into! You will hopefully be entertained by our experiences, and maybe inspired by our travels, and the highs and lows that come with moving abroad.

SHOP INFORMATION:
There is so much to do on the property to restore it and transform it so if you would like to help us, please visit my shop for very reasonably priced items: darlene-in-the-dordogne.myspreadshop.fr
