The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

CORONA clause: Should you, due to a negative travel advice of the French or Dutch government in connection with the covid19 virus, not be able to spend your booked holiday with us, you will receive a full refund or a partial refund, no rebooking guarantee but money back guarantee!

And finally: Moulin du Repaire now has unlimited internet via fibre optic cable!

Moulin du Repaire is first described in a deed dated 12-8-1563. It is 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 village 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 already on private property.
Besides the gîte it is also possible to rent the big house or even both at the same time.
Once every three years we have a cosy family reunion at "Moulin du Repaire". 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, otherwise the other house remains empty or is used by us and/or our friends but your privacy is respected.

Large living room with huge fireplace.
Kitchen with 5 burner cooker with oven, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, etc.

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 numerous sights, activities and (antique and flea) markets.
The Lac de Vassiviere is about half an hour away 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.

    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

There is a good restaurant in the town, and several 'ordinary' ones. Every village in this area, however small, has a restaurant where, on weekdays at noon, you can choose a menu for about 12 euros. 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 are also two pizzerias and a "kebab". The latter is not to be recommended.
