About the host
Hosted by Richard Smith
Hi my name is Richard Smith, I'm a chef from Scotland with a passion for all things French, living between Edinburgh Scotland and Bois Mort in France allows me to indulge in my passion for cooking which i can share with my guests in the form of the private chef service i offer at my holiday cottages in Bois Mort, i also love my Potager where i grow almost everything for my dishes, and I'm fortunate enough to buy all my meats and produce locally which means I'm only using the finest I'm a keen chicken keeper too!, the girls often help me around the gardens!
Why they chose this property
We bought our own home here at Bois Mort in 2009, and just fell in love with the area, a year or so later our very aged neighbour Maurice had to go in to a retirement home due to failing health, we were given the opportunity to purchase his crumbling old house with its derelict out buildings and decided we had to rescue them and bring them back to life, the results are we now have Maison Maurice and the Old Goat Shed and we are absolutely delighted to able to share them with our guests.
What makes this property unique
The hamlet of Bois Mort is located in the rolling countryside of the Deux Sevres, a very peaceful department of France and when we stumbled upon this area we instantly fell in love with it, stunning walks, the beautiful river, charming old villages, fantastic cheeses, local wines and produce and the locals where just so open and friendly and made us feel so welcome we knew that we had to make a home here, well we have!, and wouldn't change it for the world, we hope when you visit Bois Mort you'll feel the same way too!
