Home description
Le Vieux Bourg is a typical Correzien house on three levels recently restored with colourful decoration, nestling in a in a farming hamlet with wonderful views over rolling countryside . It overlooks a picturesque garden with barns and fruit orchard.
Relax on one of the two balconies, both of which lend themselves to alfresco eating. The front balcony has sun from early morning to mid afternoon and seats up to six people.
The door from the kitchen opens onto a smaller balcony/terrace with stone steps down to the beautiful garden. The cherry tree provides welcome shade from this balcony. In the evening sip a glass of wine on the front balcony whilst watching the sun on the ancient barns. Then enjoy a barbecue and views of the Mondiere on the garden terrace which easily seats ten people.
The small market town of Meyssac with all amenities is just 3 km from the house with its twice weekly market of local produce including the best foie gras, walnut oil, fruit and farm cheeses.
