Born and bred in this corner of paradise, we couldn't wait to come back and live here in Dormillouse all year round. For 5 years, we renovated this building with all our love, desire and passion. It took a lot of helicopter flights, wheelbarrow rides and back-packing to enable us to save this family heritage that is so dear to us. <\/mark>
