Bourg-du-Bost, Aquitaine 24600

In Greek mythology, Icarus flew too close to the sun. The wax holding his wings together melted, and he fell into the sea. But what if he had felt the heat in time, changed course and landed safely in Bourg-du-Bost, in the heart of the Dordogne? There, he might have laid down his wings for good and embraced the French way of life. This distinctive home seems to tell his story: an impressive central entrance hall forms its heart, with two graceful wings stretching out on either side for living and sleeping. Sometimes you don't need to fly higher to find paradise. You just need to know where to land.
