ABOUT US
Bonjour!
We are Martijn (1980) and Rommie (1981) Kuiphof-Duijnhouwer. Curious about our story? Martijn has been going on holiday to France since he was young. When he met Rommie in 2002, he convinced her to visit this beautiful country together, which was still unknown to her. And with success, many beautiful holidays followed together. Soon after, the idea came to emigrate to France and in 2010 we found a place in the beautiful Aveyron, where Rommie started working as a physiotherapist and Martijn went to work at a campsite. When our eldest son Tom (2012) was born there and turned one, we returned to the Netherlands to be closer to family and friends.
Back in the Netherlands, we settled in Bovenkarspel in North Holland, where first Ties (2015) and then Emma (2018) were born. We really wanted to pass on our love for France to our children, so we went looking for a new French adventure. In December 2020, we became the owners of Le Petit Domaine de Touffailles. After living among our guests for a few years, it was time for us to seek some more peace and privacy and in the summer of 2024 we found a lovely spot just outside Touffailles.
In the summer of 2021 we also welcomed our first guests. We love to give our guests a great holiday and our goal was and still is to create a fantastic holiday spot where you immediately feel at home as a guest. Where you can enjoy the relaxed life. We enjoy this wonderful place every day, the beautiful nature, the southern French culture and each other.
Service is in our blood. Martijn graduated from the Hotel Management School in 2002 and Rommie from the Leisure Management course. After working in this sector for a number of years, we both retrained and worked as hospital physiotherapists, but since 2021 we have changed course, a real 'I'm leaving'!
We look forward to welcoming you to Le Petit Domaine! See you soon! A bientôt!
A bientôt,
Rommie, Martijn, Tom, Ties en Emma Duijnhouwer
