Our thanks to Orla Neligan Irish Independent Travel for the lovely mention of Le Moulin as a destination for group gatherings of families and friends. 😎🇫🇷
Forget the stereotypical 2.4 holiday: parents, kids and beach. A lot of standards have changed since the pandemic, with people rethinking how they want to spend their precious days off and a renewed enthusiasm for multi-generational and bonding breaks with friends.
If you're planning a holiday in France or even dreaming of upping sticks and moving here, there is no better way to find out more than by immersing yourself in The Good Life France Magazine.
With fabulous features and jaw dropping photos, the summer edition will inspire, inform and tempt you to treat yourself and your loved ones to an unforgettable experience with marvellous memories in the making.
Proud to see Le Moulin included in the 'Discover the Lot' article on page 129.

Thank you Jim Gallagher for the lovely piece in today's Daily Mail. It was our pleasure to welcome you to Le Moulin sur Célé 🇫🇷

Thank you to Christophe Pélaprat and Vincent Besserve, Dire Lot Magazine for sharing our story of life at Le Moulin in the beautiful Célé valley. 😎
Marc and I enjoying a pre-season break in Chateau Feely in the delightful Dordogne region, situated just outside Bergerac and about two hours drive from Le Moulin sur Célé. Lovely to meet Caro Feely, author, organic farmer, wine educator and yoga teacher. Caro and her husband Seán combine their Irish and South African connections with their passion for making beautiful, biodynamic wine and having a lovely life in France.
Bon weekend 😎🍷

We asked our kids, Carl, James and Christina what, for them, makes the Lot region such a special place to holiday? As a family, we choose France for many summer holidays over the years and more recently, they have had first hand experience of the Lot during time spent at Le Moulin.
Let's find out what they said... See below 🙂
Here are our top 10 reasons why the Lot region in south west France is the place to spend your summer holidays at Le Moulin sur Célé.
Today marks the birthday of César Ritz, the legendary hotelier who revolutionised the hotel industry. I have always been fascinated by his story and the way that his legacy lives on in today's world of hospitality. I imagine that César Ritz and other great hoteliers such as Jody Gysling who have gone before us, continue to set the standards in 'hotel heaven'.
It's a source of great pride for Marc and I that our daughter, Christina, is following her dream to pursue a career in hotels. Shannon College of Hotel Management is providing her with an excellent opportunity to learn the trade, from both an academic and practical perspective. Wishing Christina and all aspiring hoteliers every success in the future.

Into a good routine for our weekly changeover at Le Moulin 😊 #Teamwork #FamilyFun #HappyGuests #lemoulinsurcele
The days flew by in the week preceding our re-opening Day Friday 3rd May. It was a race against the clock to get the house cleaned on time. A few challenges came our way! Torrential rain poured for days and days and the river Célé rose, edging closer and closer up the steps to the main house. The power hose broke down, the new one didn’t work either. An army of ants decided to check-in. Christina fell down the stairs, not once, not twice but three times. Meanwhile, Marc and I were temporarily homeless as we had to vacate Le Moulin, and the house we were to move in to wasn’t ready. Carl was under pressure to complete projects for his college course work but fair play to him for jumping in to help when the going got tough. Looking great in wellies, James power-hosed every inch of ground that was covered in muck from the flood. On the day of our guests’ arrival, in what felt like a miracle, the rain stopped, the ants marched onwards to a new destination, the river calmed down and so did I. The sun shone, the lawns got mowed and with final special touches completed, the guests arrived to a warm welcome from the Gysling family. I felt so proud of everyone. A superb team effort. Thank you Team Gysling. ❤️😎 #workhard #lemoulinsurcélé #workhardplayhard #family #fun

Ahhh, nothing compares to the feeling of sunbathing by the pool in Le Moulin sue Célé. Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soaking up the sun’s warmth never fails to put a smile on my face. The sound of birds chirping in the distance and the sound of the gentle pool water soothing my soul. Here’s to making memories and cherishing the moments!☀️ #sunbathing #pooltime #relaxation #lemoulinsurcele #ohmylot #lotdepartement #tourismelotdordogne
The wait is over! The excitement is building! Following two years of renovation and a labour of love in bringing the majestic Moulin back to its former glory, we've spent the last few days doing the final clean-up. We’ve also christened Jody's Bar🍷 The grand doors of Le Moulin open today as we prepare to welcome our first guests - my dear friends and fellow ACORNS Lead Entrepreneurs. Looking forward to our inaugural Business Retreat at Le Moulin.
Spring is all around us here at Le Moulin. Our family enjoyed our first Easter together in this magical place. It was great to be re-united. Now it’s all hands on deck as we prepare for our first guests arriving next month. It’s very exciting and just a little bit scary. Thankfully we have a great team in place to help us get everything ready on time.Onwards and upwards.Deirdre & Marc😊

"Some things can be explained, other things you have to experience for yourself". Jean Garacci is a videographer from Paris who came several times to film in the Lot. He knows how to capture moments, he knows how to play with light, he knows how to marvel at the richness of the landscapes and above all, he knows how to express the emotion that one feels when visiting the Lot. This video tells its own story. Whatever happens in the world, whatever changes may come, people will always seek time together with loved ones. #WhenWeTravelAgain #Occitanie #France #TourismeLotDordogne
