Adults-Only Dordogne Gîte | Private Pool & On-Site Fashion Museum

Welcome to Beaux Souvenirs in Mialet, Dordogne

Beaux Souvenirs is our adults-only gîte set in the peaceful village of Mialet, in the North Dordogne. Nestled at the end of a traditional stone coach house, it's the perfect grown-up escape — complete with your own private pool, two beautifully appointed bedrooms each with a king-size bed, and something truly unique: France's only on-site vintage fashion museum.

A short stroll takes you to the village bakery and brasserie, yet back at Beaux Souvenirs, complete privacy is yours. It's a rare combination — the warmth of authentic French village life, with all the seclusion you could wish for.

Ideal for discerning couples in search of a stylish, characterful retreat with exceptional comfort, a genuine home-from-home feel, and a little cultural discovery along the way

What Guests Say

A perfect week in a perfect gite! Quiet, large pool set in a lush garden and comfortable double beds and a fully equipped kitchen. Comfy outdoor seating for shade and sun. And a great little bakery just up the street in the small cosy town of Mialet. Thanks a million, Vanessa and William for the tips and warm welcome.

What a truly fabulous week we've had with lots of 'Beaux Souvenirs' to take away with us. Vanessa & William are super hosts, such attention to detail to ensure everything was exactly right for us. Loved the groceries & wine thank-you! Great recommendations for places to visit! Loved the fashion museum & strongly recommend walks by St Martin de Fressengeas. Lazing by the pool was the perfect antidote to sightseeing. Huge thanks! And congratulations one great gite!
