Finders Keepers France is a family run camping and glamping retreat consisting of a holiday cottage (Marcadis Gite), 2 glamping tents and 2 camping tents. There is a cosy coffee lounge that sells coffee, tea, soft drinks, milk shake, drinking chocolate, wine and beer. We do not have a full-size swimming pool, just a dipping pool however you are able to swim in the lake. There is a great swimming pontoon.

Around you grounds you will find badminton, Ping-Pong, chess, Archery, a 3-acre fishing lake (fishing allowed with permit - fish to be returned on catching (no kill policy)) plus much more.

Shady rest is our undercover social area which is home to the coffee lounge, library, armoire with board games.

The hayloft is located within shady rest and has a pool table, dart board, and star gazing telescope with viewing area.

Parking for any size vehicle. No electric hook up.

Walks around the grounds. Watch for Pine martens, coypus, deer, wild boar, foxes, badgers, red squirrels, hares. Say hello to Sunflower, Dumpy, Ginger and Frank (our rescue cats) and our rescue dogs Nigel, Lewis and Eddie.

We have placed many hammocks, tables, chairs and benches in and around the grounds so you can just sit, relax and enjoy the views, wildlife, and weather. This is a truly beautiful place for a relaxing break if you love nature, the outdoors and wildlife.

We are surrounded by nature and fields therefore you may experience visits by wildlife. We try our best to prevent visitors inside the gite however this is sometimes out of our hands during farming season. All animals are removed humanly and returned to their habitats safely and quickly

Wonderful Property, Charming Location, Great Hosts
My wife and I had a great time at this VRBO. Our hosts, Paula and Darren, were so welcoming and nice from the moment we met them until the time we left. Their property has so many cool amenities, including a dipping pool, pool table, dartboard, and private lake. We would recommend this VRBO to anyone who finds themselves in/near the town of Nérac.

Wow, what great Gite... This is a little gem with loads to do. Quiet and secluded with a lake to view and enjoy with glass of wine. Darren and Paula have created a wonderful 'finders keepers' hideaway; this is our second visit and we will be returning in 2020. Thank you.

What a find!!!
We loved our stay at Finders Keepers. It was everything we had expected and so much more. We finished our French trip with two days here for rest and relaxation. There is so much to do within the property that you won’t want to leave although when you do you will find some real gems in this beautiful part of France. We loved everything about this Gite and think Paula and Darren are offering something very special indeed. Our favourite spot was down by the lake where the boat is stored but there are so many seating areas that I am sure we still had some to find. This is a real nature lovers retreat but at a price that certainly doesn’t reflect the standard of the accommodation. We loved the quality of the linens and the softness of the towels and robes. I can’t find a single negative; only that we had to leave! We will be back for a longer stay next time! Thank you so much Darren and Paula!

The best Gite we have ever stayed in-absolutely fantastic !
Marcadis Gite @ Finders Keepers is amazing, it was everything we expected and much much more. From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a great holiday, Paula and Darren were super hosts and made every effort to ensure our stay with them was perfect. Nothing was to much trouble. The many facilities available to us were unbelievable and we made best use of most of them, we especially enjoyed the archery with Paula and Darren, boating on the lake and playing pool in the barn aptly named Shady Rest.The sunsets from the garden were amazing. Thank you Paula and Darren for sharing your wonderful space with us and good luck with your plans for the future. Lin & Vince

Wonderful Escape!
What a wonderful escape. Josh and I came to France for a friends wedding just outside of Condom so chose Finders Keepers for our stay, and what a great choice we made. Paula was so friendly and made the booking process easy. Before we arrived we received a Welcome pack and directions to the Gite, we felt welcome before we had even arrived. Darren met us on arrival and he too was so friendly welcoming and helpful throughout our entire stay. The grounds are spectacular, the lake is wonderful - we swam, went fishing and went out in the little boat. We played ping pong, badminton and board games in the evenings. There is so much to do here, if only we had more time. We’re hoping Darren and Paula create more accommodation so we can come back with our family next year. Thank you both for creating such a wonderful place, we hope you’ll have us back soon! Maria and Josh x

Finder's Keepers, loser's weepers for sure. You will be overwhelmed with it's entirety.
What amazing hosts! Discreet yet responsive if needed. Paula and Darren have transformed this beautiful part of France into a haven of tranquillity, beauty and a nature lover's retreat. With nearly every possible sport you could desire in this region e.g. painting, table tennis, badminton, boules, cycling, fishing, darts, table football, archery and much more. Fantastic walks with so much information the hosts can provide on local wildlife, not to mention the availability of scopes and binoculars. They have a night vision one to spot those nocturnal ones and even a scope to spot the stars! Relaxation is utmost with hammocks and seating placed in places that only the experienced would know where's best. A truly wonderful place in an outstanding area with magnificent hosts. A very memorable holiday.

A PROSSIONALY RUN ESTABLISHMENT
I cant praise Darren enough over the way that he and Paula run this establishment. You may book here with confidence, but do it! The accommodation and the setting are most agreeable and most will enjoy it in all aspects. We stayed for 2 weeks, we swam in the lake, picnicked at the lake, walked the property, tried star gazing and drove around the area on the 5 suggested routes of back rural lanes. We discovered some lovely villages and restaurants. It is arguably the most attractive and little know part of France that we have got to know after 25 years of exploring the country. I dont need to go into detail over the positives for Gite Marcadis, just book!

Excellent séjour !
Situé dans une grande propriété où tout est mis à disposition des vacanciers, le gite se révèle riche en activités à faire sur place ; farniente dans les hamacs, billard, tennis de table, piscine, lecture, dessins et peinture, etc.... Le plus pour ce gite se situe dans sa partie boisée avec le lac sur lequel il est possible de se balader en barque pour observer la faune et la flore. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous dès le premier jour. Nous recommandons vivement cette location, surtout pour les amoureux de la nature !
