The Limousin / Auvergne / Haute-Vienne region
The Limousin or french "lake district" is a beautiful area to visit, full of winding deserted lanes, lakes around every corner and a lush green landscape of trees & woodlands. Nestled between the Loire & the Dodogne it is relatively undiscovered. The temperate climate brings 30 plus degrees in the summer months, clear blue skies and just a buzzard calling.
The area is renowned for its beautiful lakes, quiet villages, excellent cuisine, woodland trails and numerous chateaux, which can be found along the Richard the Lionheart route. It is, therefore, ideal for anyone who enjoys walking, fishing, bird watching, water sports, riding and cycling. Many of the lakes have man made beaches and offer truly safe swimming as no motorboats are allowed. There are a wide variety of attractions close by, including animal parks, museums, theme parks, historical sites, farmers markets - all are contained in a guide located in your gite.
Bellac / Saint Barbant area
Saint Barbant is a small hamlet, located in a peaceful farming area, close to Bussiere Poitevine and Bellac. Markets are held locally every week, as well as fetes throughout the summer season. Local shops, bar and amenities can be found in Bussiere Poitevine. Limoges is world famous for porcelain and with its beautiful timber framed houses in the ancient cathedral quarter. Many historic WW11 sites can be visited including the “village of the martyrs” at Oradour sur Glane. Seven of the most beautiful villages in France can be found in this region, with Mortemart close by and Collonges la Rouge to the south. Pompadour and its imposing castle, has a national stud farm for Anglo-Arab horses. Futuroscope (near Poitiers), a theme park dedicated to cinema, is excellent for all the family

Guestbook
Nic, Nat & Joshua Beaken July 2007
A really lovely, well equipped gite. Had a great time, Dave & Caroline could not be more helpful and their farm is gorgeous. Views are spectacular and surrounding countryside is beautiful. Joshy enjoyed every moment here and we’d love to come back sometime!!
Margaret, John & Jill July 2007
Wonderful week – pity about the weather! Really enjoyed the gite – so well equipped & roomy – the separate bedroom & shower downstairs was a real boon for someone who found the stairs a little too much! Caroline & Dave are welcoming and generous hosts. It’s a lovely location in a beautiful part of France. Once bitten – still not shy!!!
Rachel, Rob & Ben Lynne & Rob August 2007
Not a lot we can say about the gite, that hasn’t already been said – ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! Ideal place to chill out, if you have the time! “Maybe next time!” Had a wonderful time, perfect weather for most of us (a bit too hot for me – Rob) Rather obvious excellent places to visit – Rocamador, Sarlat, Bordeaux, Oradour sur Glane, Vallee de Singes Hope to be back one day and see you again!
Kev, Caroline & Harry August – Sept 2007
Lovely place to stay. Helpful hosts always available to help but not obvious. Area is very beautiful with lots of places to explore. Caroline and Dave made the stay special for Harry with the dogs especially Twist. Thank you.
Steve, Sheila & Megan October 2007
Fabulous gite – well equipped and plenty of room. Lovely and peaceful, just what we needed. You both deserve every success in your venture, as you have both worked so hard. Good luck. P.S. Loved George!
