About the home

This charming 17th century cottage is a truly peaceful retreat in the picturesque medieval and fortified village of Turenne. The village is perfectly preserved, officially listed and considered as one of the most beautiful in France. Since 2008, Turenne has been recognised as an important heritage site. The lively town of Brive-la-Gaillarde is 15km away and Limoges is just over an hour's drive. The property is set at the foot of the château and its ramparts, and boasts really magnificent and spectacular views of rolling countryside towards the Corrèze, the Lot and the Dordogne. Fishing, horse-riding, golf and cycling facilities are nearby.

The cottage is full of character and has been completely renovated to a high standard with quality fittings and a tasteful mixture of modern and rustic furniture. The open plan ground floor with beamed ceiling and wood flooring consists of a well equipped modern kitchen, a living/dining area (with double sofabed), a shower room with WC. The air conditioned bedroom is situated on the first floor. Meals can be taken in the large garden. Parking is possible very nearby.

The Limousin / Auvergne / Correze region

The rolling countryside of the Limousin lies at the very heart of France, on the western flanks of the great Massif Central land mass.

Sharing borders with mighty Burgundy, the majestic Loire region and the dramatic Auvergne, it is itself immersed in history. Strolling through the sleepy villages, there's a feeling that the modern age has passed by - so much so, that this rural region has earned a reputation as the 'Secret France'.

Rising on the vast granite Plateau de Millevaches in the east, the Creuse, Vienne and Vezere rivers descend to the south, west and north, through lush landscapes of forest and lake, offering ample opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

At the centre of the region lies the Limousin Regional Park and the historic capital, Limoges, renowned for its porcelain. Downstream, on the Vienne, St Junien has specialised in glove-making since the Middle Ages and in the nearby Monts de Blond, the pretty village of Mortemart is worth a visit. This area was a hotbed of Resistance activity during the last war and at Oradour-sur-Glane, ruins still stand as testimony to the village's inhabitants, who were burned alive by the Nazis.

To the south of Limoges, in the Correze, turreted Uzerche stands guard over the Vezere River before it plummets through the Saillant Gorges. Near Tulle, at Gimel-les-Cascades, the highest waterfalls in the Limousin plunge more than 150 metres into the Inferno. At the southern limit of the region, on a bend in the Dordogne River, lies lovely Beaulieu with its many fine houses. Nearby are the medieval towns of Turenne and Collognes-la-Rouge, the latter famous for the colour of its architecture.

In the rolling, wooded landscape of the Creuse, north-east of Limoges, the town of Aubusson has been using the pure waters of the River Creuse to dye tapestry yarns for centuries. Its workshops, open to the public, remain a hive of activity today. Downstream, the river is spanned by a lovely old bridge at the village of Moutier d'Ahun, dominated by its beautiful church which stands on the site of a former abbey.
