For
the serious sightseer and historian, we are located on the
route of Richard the Lionheart with its wonderful chateaux, and
tourist attractions such as Rocamadour, the caves at Lascaux and
Futuroscope are an easy day’s outing.
For the wine enthusiast, we are not too far from several
regions, notably Bordeaux, Bergerac and Cahors, where you can
sample and stock up with quality wines at reasonable prices.
For the keen shopper, there is the wonderful porcelain and
enamel of Limoges, the basketwork for which our region is
famous, and the many village markets held all year round.
For the gastronome, we have a Michelin two star restaurant
close by, and several excellent local eateries where a five
course meal will cost you all of 10 euros, and that includes
wine.
For the sporting types, there is tennis, fishing and swimming
at the lake at nearby Bussière Galant, together with a Velorail
and treetop adventure trail (lesacrobois.com) and there are
several other lakes a short drive away; kayaking on the Vienne,
mountain bike trails and nature walks all round the region.
And for those who want to relax and enjoy the more gentle pace
of yesteryear, unwind from the stresses and strains of modern
life, there are sun loungers in the orchard and a selection of
books to read.
As on-site proprietors we are on hand to give you information
and advice on the area, the best boulangeries, the best value
for money country restaurants and a host of other titbits of
information, as well as being able to provide you with fresh,
free-range eggs from our hens and fresh
fruit and veg from our garden, when available.
