Home description
Chateau de Firbeix is a large yet homely country house situated between Limoges and Perigueux, in the “parc natural regional Perigord / Limousin” area of the Perigord Vert and just outside the village of Firbeix. This property, dating from the 14th century has been carefully converted to provide 2 private self-catering holiday homes each with lots of character. It is approached along a blue cedar tree-lined, quiet country lane, which has very little traffic. The heated swimming pool and surrounding terrace with sun loungers and parasols, the games room in a barn at the rear of the property, the extensive gardens with many mature and unusual trees, flower beds and lots of grassy areas for ball games, provide something for all ages.There are benches and seats in sunshine and in shade. Fishermen are not forgotten with private fishing in a nearby lake as well as in the public fishing lake in Firbeix. Booked in conjunction with our adjoining holiday home Les Tilleuls sleeping 7 ( No 11769 ) the two adjacent properties are ideal for family reunions or groups of friends providing a lot of space and allowing togetherness with privacy.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The gentle climate of this area with its generally hot summer days, balmy evenings for barbecues, warm springs and autumns mean that holidays can be enjoyed outside the traditional July and August period. Chateaux abound, many holding exhibitions.There are pretty villages to explore, the famous french country markets in most villages and towns to visit, and an array of restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets.
Firbeix area
Firbeix is a small village with a boulangerie, bar/tabac, garage and post office. There are well stocked super markets in both Chalus and La Coquille, both at 3 miles distant with banks, doctors and chemists. The village has its own lake for fishing. There are miles of woodland tracks for walking and mountain biking. Within a short drive the more adventurous can try rock climbing in Jumihlac or go-karting in Pageas. Night markets are becoming increasingly popular as well as brocantes. Every small village seems to hold a fete in the summertime and the one in nearby St.Pierre de Frugie is quite spectacular
