Moulin du Repaire has recently acquired unlimited internet access through fibre optics!

Moulin du Repaire is first described in an act dated 12-8-1563, almost 500 years old. It was part of the "chateau" that lies further up the hill. The watermill, the millers house (now the big house) and the bakery (now the gîte) served to provide the owners and the (then very many) "staff" with their daily bread.
For the mill's benefit, a dam was also built in the valley, creating a small reservoir (2 ha.). Here you can fish for carp and pike, among other things.
The domain is 14 hectares in total and is situated 4 k.m. from the picturesque town Saint Leonard de Noblat.
The property is very quiet, but not really isolated. From a distance, one single house can be seen. The access road of 300 metres is on private property.

Besides the gîte it is also possible to rent the big house or even both houses at the same time,
For example, we ourselves hold a family reunion at "Moulin du Repaire" every three years. Because of the many possibilities on the terrain and the peace we have a perfect week every time.
But .... for your peace and quiet there is always only one tenant, unless you also rent the other house, the other house remains empty or is used by us and/or our friends where your privacy is respected!

Furnishing and equipment:
The spacious gîte has a living room with a beautiful old bread oven, and a wood-burning stove that, if necessary, heats the entire ground floor.
The living room adjoins the dining area with French doors that give access to the terrace.
The kitchen is equipped with 4 burner cooker / oven, microwave / oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee machine etc.
Scullery with toilet.
First floor with loft, two bedrooms and walk-through bedroom, bathroom with shower, washbasin and 2nd toilet.

Equipped with:
- TV with Dutch channels.
- DVD player (with many DVDs).
- Radio with CD player.
- Spacious terrace of 40 m2 with garden furniture.
- Washer and dryer, iron. hairdryer, etc.

Furthermore, you also have:
- The large, and possibly heatable, swimming pool with sun terrace.
- A cot and high chair.
- A fire basket for the cosy evenings outside.
- A barbeque.
- A rowing boat for the lake.
- Jeu-de-boules court and swing.
- A beautiful forest, (very suitable for building (tree) huts).

Or as a Flemish tenant recently remarked: "If God really lives in France, he must live very close to you...! "

The colourful Limousin.
In the green heart of France (approx. 850 km from Utrecht), you will find the Limousin. The region has many lakes and rivers. Hills up to 800 metres with many beautiful forests invite you for beautiful cycling or hiking tours.
Mass tourism has not yet penetrated here and that makes everything even more beautiful than it already is.
Limoges, at 18 km, is a university city known for its porcelain and enamel, every second Sunday of the month (not in August) there is a large flea market around the cathedral.
But also in many villages and towns in the area are many attractions, activities and (antique and flea) markets.
Lac de Vassiviere is at about half an hour distance and has a museum on it, designed by architect Rossi.
In the vicinity are several golf courses.
We have a lot of documentation about the area.

  • Hilly
  • Meadows and woodland

    Ons verblijf in het grote huis is heel goed bevallen.
    We voelden ons meteen thuis, dankzij de comfortabele inrichting en uitrusting van het huis, de rust en de prachtige ligging in het groen.
    Hebben ook zeer genoten van de verkenning van het terrein (meer en bos). Wat een prachtig oord!
    Gastheer Derk stilde onze nieuwsgierigheid naar de historie van de Moulin heel elegant.
    Voor ons draagt zulke kennis absoluut bij aan hoe je kunt genieten van je omgeving.
    Maar ook het zwembad met een watertemperatuur van 26 graden Celsius (eind september!) hielp daarbij.
    En Derk, dank voor de tip om naar de zondagmorgenmarkt in Panazol te gaan. We kwamen terecht in een echt Franse markt, met aardige mensen en prachtige producten. Heerlijk!

    Wij waren hier voor de tweede keer met een groep van 16 vrienden (60+). Heerlijke week gehad. Prachtige omgeving, mooie en goed geoutilleerde huizen, alles aanwezig. Fijn groot zwembad, goed terras, dagelijks buiten gegeten. En niet te vergeten: aardige huiseigenaren! Kortom, voor herhaling vatbaar.

  • 9 stars

    Prachtig huis / locatie voor een actieve (wandelen en/of fietsen) vakantie, maar ook om even lekker helemaal niets te doen!
    Derk en Ineke, zeer relaxte gastheer/-vrouw en 'ondanks' hun aanwezigheid in de Gîte een volledig 'laissez vivre' vakantie.
    Het ontbrak ons aan niets en wij zullen met veel plezier terugdenken aan deze bijzondere week. De info op de website zegt het allemaal. Prijs / kwaliteit prima, een absolute aanrader dus!

Restaurants, food & wine

Besides 3 good restaurants in the town, including one with a star allure, which in culinary terms have much to offer, each village in this region, however small, has a restaurant where a menu for about 12 euros can be chosen. Such a menu consists of a starter, main course, cheese, dessert and coffee (wine included). We, Dutchmen, are not used to eat at midi - from 12 o'clock in the afternoon. But there is no Frenchman in the countryside who skips his hot midday meal. Therefore, it is definitely worth trying. Let yourself be surprised and go at one o'clock into a small restaurant and order such a menu. You will be amazed at what you will be served and how cosy it is!
In Saint Léonard there is also a pizzeria and a "kebab", the latter is not recommended.
