The Limousin / Auvergne / Creuse region


The Creuse is in the foothills of the Massif Central and is often described as the "Lake District of France" or the "French Cotswolds". There are hundreds of lakes, beautiful rivers and forests. Many of the lakes have sandy beaches with lifeguards during the summer and cafes or restaurants.
Gueret is the Department capital with all the facilities of a large town. Limoges, the regional capital, is famous for its porcelain. Nearby places of interest include La Celle Dunoise, one of the most picturesque villages in France; Crozant with its 12th century ruins and stunning gorge immortalised on canvas by Monet; La Souterraine, with its medieval town centre; Gargilesse, a beautiful artists' village, chateau and former home, now a museum, of famous French novelist George Sand. Also worth visiting is the Loups de Chabrieres, near Gueret, where you can see wolves in a natural environment.
