Surroundings

The area is characterized by its gently sloping landscape, interspersed with beautiful views and many lakes. Spread through this farmland you will find beautiful chateaus and beautiful picturesque villages with plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy French cuisine. The region is traditionally known for its "Porcelaine de Limoges" and "Madeleines" cakes in the typical shape of a shell, created by the influence of the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

There is plenty to do and see in the village of Coussac-Bonneval. A stunning castle with a beautiful garden around it, a church and its own tourist office. The bakery and the butcher, a post office, pharmacy and mini-supermarket. A cozy garden center and several restaurants. Just outside the village is "Moulin Authier" a fishing lake where you can catch your own trout or carp, but you can also sit on the terrace. At "Chauffaille", on the other side of the village, it's fabulous for walking and picnicking.

Saint-Yrieix la Perche is a 10-minute drive from Coussac-Bonneval. Here you will find several large supermarkets, shops, restaurants and a modern sports center with swimming pool "Villa Sport". Every week there is a large market in the old center with various regional products and in the summer months an atmospheric night market is held on Thursday evening.

Countless events with music, theater and sometimes fireworks ensure that there is always something to do in the area. Exhibitions are also regularly held and the famous French flea markets can be visited somewhere nearby almost every weekend. There are several beautiful hiking trails in the area. At "Châlucet" you can walk all the way up, see the ancient ruins and enjoy the beautiful view over the campaign.

The towns of Limoges, Brive and Perigueux are a 30 - 45 minute drive from, Bois la Roussie at Coussac-Bonneval, and well worth a visit. The waterfalls "Cascades de Murel", the large lake "Lac de Vassivière" and canoeing in the town of Uzerche are highly recommended.

    We hebben een heerlijke week gehad! We zijn helemaal tot rust gekomen en voelden ons meteen helemaal thuis in jullie gîte. De gîte was van alle gemakken voorzien en heel sfeervol ingericht. We hebben iedere dag genoten van het landschap, de ondergaande zon en het lekkere eten. Prachtig gebied om te fietsen. En, voldoende laadpalen in de omgeving voor een elektrische auto. Dank voor alles!

    Wat een heerlijke week hebben we gehad. Een zeer vriendelijke en persoonlijke ontvangst in een super schoon huis. Bijzonder om een mee te mogen kijken op de boerderij.
    Mooie omgeving en genoeg te doen. We komen zeker nog een keer terug!

    As a couple from New York city, where the noise and crowds can get overwhelming, this was the perfect quiet and quaint village farm house to come to relax and unwind.
    We will miss the cows and farmlife and plan to be back very soon!
    Thank you Vivian!
    Tell the cows goodbye for us!
