Local amenities and activities
Whilst the house is set in a tranquil hamlet surrounded by fields, it is only a few minutes drive from the local market town of Bellac, which has ample shopping facilities including three supermarkets.
It also has a large, open air swimming pool.
There are also many excellent restaurants that offer a wide choice of menus.
The Limousin is a relatively undiscovered region of France and therefore is by no means overcrowded. It is both the garden and the 'lake district' of France and is a joy to visit. Whether exploring the
area by car or on foot, there is much to warrant your interest, enabling you to enjoy a holiday with a difference.
Within a fifteen minute picturesque drive, is the lake of St. Pardoux, which has a number of pleasant beaches from which to swim, picnic areas, a bar, a pool with water shoots and various boating and
canoeing activities. Alternatively, a thirty-five minute drive takes you to the vast Lac de Vassiviere with similar amenities available.
Golf - At St. Junien the 18-hole course meanders through the rolling hills of the Limoges area. This peaceful setting with it's interesting stretches of water, impeccable greens and difficult slopes
still challenges golfers of all skill levels. There are also courses at Limoges and Mortemart.
The nearest large city is Limoges.
In a little over an hours drive, there is the charming town of Poitiers which again, is well worth a visit. Only a short drive from here is Futuroscope, as is the new 'Vallee de Singes' which houses
over 15 species of primates and 200 animals without cages.
Futuroscope is a serious days outing and the facilities are marvellous.
Close by are the Blond Mountains which have marvellous walks and the ancient village of Mortemart where an art or antique show is often in progress.
