Meet Your Hosts: Willem & Monique – A Dutch Dream in France

Bonjour! We’re Willem and Monique, a couple from the Netherlands who followed our hearts to the French countryside.

Willem spent many years working in telecom, but his true dream was always to run a Bed & Breakfast in France. Now that dream has come to life at Les Rocailles. “I love looking after people and thinking ahead,” he says. “If you're thinking about a glass of rosé, chances are I’ve already poured it for you.” Willem’s passion for cooking means you can look forward to delicious, home-prepared meals during your stay – always with a French twist, and always made with love.

Monique has dedicated over twenty years to working with charitable organizations, but hospitality is in her soul – she once ran a boutique hotel in the beautiful Veluwe region of the Netherlands. Her love for wine is unmistakable: she takes great joy in curating and sharing an ever-changing selection of special wines, ranging from local Bergerac and Bordeaux gems to unique bottles from all over France – and sometimes even beyond.

Curious to discover more? Monique is always happy to offer wine advice or organize a personalized tasting experience – just say the word.
