I’m Helen Charlesworth, and I have been living in France since 2002. For the past 20 years, I’ve been proud to work with Leggett Immobilier, helping clients from around the world buy and sell property in one of France’s most beautiful regions.
As Area Coordinator for South Dordogne, Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne, I bring not only extensive property expertise but also a deep understanding of the lifestyle that makes this part of France so special. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of buyers find their perfect French home — from charming stone cottages and vineyard properties to elegant country houses.
Having lived here for over two decades, I’m fully integrated into the local community and proud to serve as President of the village association “St Mé’art et Fêtes”, organising events that celebrate the culture and spirit of our area. My local connections and experience allow me to guide my clients far beyond the property search — helping them settle into the wonderful French way of life.

We are just 10 km from the charming bastide town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, renowned for its weekly market, restaurants and vibrant community life. With Bergerac and Bordeaux airports within easy reach, the region is perfectly placed for both holiday homes and permanent living.
It’s a place where life moves at a gentler pace — where great food, fine wine, and welcoming villages create a lifestyle that so many people dream of.
