Converted barn in Haute-Vienne, France

Location

The property is situated in the tiny hamlet of "Lartimache" just 2.5 km from La Chapelle Montbrandeix on the borders of the Dordogne and Haute Vienne. Local shopping is at Cussac and St. Mathieu (a large leisure lake here). Lively markets are held each week at nearby Piegut and Nontron, both good towns for shopping. There is an excellent choice of local restaurants to suit every budget - "Chez Jules" at La Chapelle Montbrandeix is 5 minutes away and "Hostellerie St Jacques", a gourmet's feast, at St Saud Lacoussiere, just a 15 minute drive.

This is an unspoilt region of rolling wooded countryside interspersed with numerous rivers and lakes. This beautiful area has been designated a Regional Park - the Parc Regional de Perigord Limousin - you will find plenty of interesting information at the house and local Syndicat d'Initiative

The area is full of fascinating market towns - you can choose a different market practically every day to browse around. Interesting Chateaux and a range of cultural activities are nearby with the larger centres of Limoges, Perigueux and Angouleme all within an hour's drive. For a day out try wine tasting at one of the famous vineyards near Bordeaux, brandy at Cognac, exploring the Dordogne Valley or even a trip to the coast of the Charente Maritime.
