La Grue (gite)

Home description

La Grue is a charming 19th century farmhouse with original beams and exposed stone work, beautifully renovated into a 3-bedroomed luxury self-contained Gîte. A private entrance with parking leads to your own front door and behind the gite there is a secluded garden and terrace, overlooking a wooded valley and in the distance Rochechouart. The views over the surrounding countryside from the back of the gite are fabulous all seasons of the year, with the rolling hills, fields, and woodland.

We are located in the heart of 'Le Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin', and are ideally situated to explore the varied and beautiful attractions of the Haute-Vienne, Dordogne and Charente departments. If you enjoy outdoor pursuits then you can fish, swim, cycle or meander around the beautiful lakes in the area. Golf is also available at 3 Golf courses nearby and there are many more attractions situated locally.

We are only 6 km from the pretty market town of St Mathieu, which provides full amenities including a petrol station, banks and a supermarket and the market town of Rochechouart is also close by which has a beautiful chateau and several bars, restaurants and shops.

The Limousin / Auvergne / Haute-Vienne region

The Haute Vienne (87) is the least industrialized region of France and it is famous for vast expanses of Chestnut and Oak forests, pleasant villages and large lakes. There is a wide range of outdoor activities and a diverse variety of wildlife in the area and the area has now been designated as part of France's newest Parc Regionale.

Whilst the area provides the perfect setting for a summer holiday it is also particularly beautiful in the spring and autumn, when the changing colours of the seasons are a photographers dream and the weather can be very pleasant for walking and cycling.

The capital of the Haute-Vienne is Limoges, this is a very attractive city famous for it’s porcelain. There are also 10 Castles in this department alone, museum of varying descriptions, archaeological sites, 8 major lakes and 2 theme parks.

The attractions of the other departments of Limousin, namely, Correze (19) and Creuse (23) are within easy reach as are neighbouring Charente (16) & The Dordogne (24)
