House Joy of Living – holiday home with private pool in the Dordogne
Welcome to Maison Joie de Vivre
Maison Joie de Vivre is not only the name of our holiday home, but also our way of life.
For us, it means enjoying the little things: being together, taking the time, good food and just letting life happen as it comes. Especially in the Dordogne, we experience that French art of living every day anew.
That's why we bought Maison Joie de Vivre: as a place where we ourselves love to stay and where our guests can also enjoy peace, space and everything that makes French life so special. And our guests agree:
"What a wonderful place! We enjoyed the house, the large fenced garden, the surroundings and the pool" (Hester - August 26, 2025).
"The house is equipped with all comforts and is furnished so cozy that you feel at home right away" (Marco and Agnita - September 17, 2025).
"Several markets and charming towns are nearby. And an afternoon canoeing on the Dordogne is highly recommended" (Maarten - July 19, 2025).

The house
A place to enjoy together
Maison Joie de Vivre was born from a special memory. As children, Rob and Liesbeth spent many holidays in the Dordogne. The river, the green hills, atmospheric villages, and the feeling of freedom have always stayed with us. Years later, we found in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien the place where we could relive that feeling and share it with others.
Here you enjoy peace, nature, authentic French villages, local markets, brocantes, and long evenings with a good glass of wine. The Dordogne is nearby, and shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
Space, tranquility, and privacy
Maison Joie de Vivre accommodates two to eight people and is always rented exclusively to one group. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two sitting rooms, the house offers ample space to be together while everyone also has their own private retreat.
Surrounding the house is a spacious, fully enclosed garden with several terraces and a heated private pool. Here you enjoy the outdoors as children play and you completely relax. Your dog is also very welcome.
Comfortable enjoyment
The fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer, and charging station for an electric car ensure that you lack nothing. You only need to unpack your suitcases; the holiday begins automatically.
Maison Joie de Vivre is rented from April through October. In the shoulder seasons, there is an attractive rate for groups of two to four people.
Experience French life
Start the day with fresh bread from the local pastry shop, visit one of the many colorful markets, take a canoe trip on the Dordogne, or relax with a book on the terrace by the pool. It's all possible; here you set the pace.
Whether you come for tranquility, nature, gastronomy, or quality time with family and friends: Maison Joie de Vivre is a place where memories are made.
Experience the peace, space, and gastronomy of the Périgord Noir from a comfortable holiday home with a private pool.
