Lieu-Dit Bon Ami or "le bon ami" was purchased by Cameron & Paris in April 2020, with renovations taking place from May to August. The house itself dates back to the 1700s and was originally used as an “Auberge”, a hostel for people travelling along the river from town to town. Along with a salt water pool in season, the rental is equipped with a full sized pétanque court, numerous outdoor seating options, as well as a gas and an in ground barbecue. Besides us, the only neighbours are the deer in the forest and the fish in the river. Each room at le bon ami has a theme based on local destinations; Saint-Émilion, Lège-Cap-Ferret & Bordeaux.

Canadian born, Cameron moved to France in 2011 where he played 6 years of professional rugby for ASM Clermont-Ferrand and Section Paloise. After a career ending injury in late 2016, he was forced to retire and start planning his next adventure with his wife. Paris, also Canadian born, moved to France to finish a business degree in 2012. The two met in early 2013 and the rest is history. Paris currently works in the wine industry in Pomerol while Cameron is a volunteer firefighter in Libourne. As a couple we've always loved to host friends and family, so opening up our own rental property has been a natural fit. We love making new friends and are passionate about wine, sports and travel.

The property is just under one hectare in size and runs parallel to the “L’isle” river, an off chute from the famous Dordogne river. Although “le bon ami” is only 5 minutes from the charming town of Libourne, you will feel completely isolated by the surrounding forest, river and wildlife.
