The house

  • Quiet, rural area

France, the Limousin. Apart from the pure air and clear starry skies - for which the Limousin is famous - nature exudes tranquillity. A few minutes outside the rural village of Sussac, you will find the former farm of Arc and France. On this hectare-sized piece of land stands a 55-metre longère: a typical French oblong farm from around 1850. The longère has been partially renovated in recent years and now houses two beautiful gîtes. Hiking, cycling, mountain biking... it's all possible directly from the gîte.

Gîte for 2-5 people: L'Écurie
The barn where we built our 2-5 person gîte has served as a horse stable for many decades and is located on the east side of our longère. In this gîte, a first floor has been constructed consisting of old chestnut-wood beams and floorboards. In this way, we have created a spacious holiday home with a ground floor of over 40 m2 and two large bedrooms on the first floor.

We renovated the original elements, such as the oak trusses, the door and window openings and the sometimes one-metre-thick natural stone walls - pierres des champs - as much as possible in the authentic style. Together with the luxurious furnishings, this makes it a very attractive and pleasant holiday home.

On the ground floor you will find the dining and living room, open-plan kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with all the luxury you need: a dishwasher, oven, microwave, large fridge with freezer, hard stone counter top, extractor hood and an induction hob. Things like a coffee machine, blender, kettle and more have also been thought of. In the luxurious bathroom, we have installed a shower and steam room. Besides the hanging toilet, modern vanity unit and designer towel radiator, you won't get cold feet here. Indeed, the underfloor heating ensures a pleasant temperature. The rest of the ground floor is heated by electric heaters.
Upstairs you will find a large bedroom with a 200 x 160 cm bed. This bedroom can also accommodate a baby or cot if desired. The other bedroom has 3 single beds as standard. The owners have a washing machine (+ dryer) which you can use on request.

Outside you have access to a spacious garden which will guarantee your privacy. The parasol and garden furniture are at your disposal! You will enjoy the wide view of the surrounding fields and forests. You can park your car next to the cottage.

In principle, the gîtes are rented out per week in high season. From 3 nights in low season and 4 nights in mid-season is also possible. Arrival and departure days are usually Saturday, but can be deviated from in consultation. Arc en France does not charge for cleaning, energy and tourist tax. Prices quoted include.

Limousin is characterised by its natural, undulating and peaceful environment. The air here is still pure and the vast area is perfect for tours, walks and cycling trips. The area is increasingly being discovered as a tourist attraction, but fortunately Limousin is not yet overrun. Cycling on the very well-maintained and numerous roads is very safe and even off-the-road hiking and mountain biking can be done here without encountering fences, barbed wire or gendarmes everywhere. Nature is still mostly nature!

    Een week lang te gast geweest bij Peter en Marjon. Wat een prachtige gîte! Alles wat je maar bedenken kon was aanwezig en het bed sliep heerlijk! De inrichting van de gîte was zo mooi, vol inspiratie om thuis aan de slag te gaan. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgt en de aandacht van de gastvrouw en gastheer zorgde ervoor dat je je welkom voelde.
    Het weer was zonnig en de omgeving leende zich voor een prachtige wandeling.
    Ondanks dat we geen Francofielen zijn hopen we dit najaar toch maar weer terug te gaan naar 'onze' gîte ;)
    Al met al een echte aanrader!

    Eind mei zijn wij (2 personen) een week in L'Ecurie geweest. Gastvrij onthaal door Gerard en Patricia, met avond eten en ontbijt de volgende dag. Heel fijn na een reisdag!
    Heerlijke week gehad, veel gefietst en gewandeld in de omgeving. Bezoek aan porselein museum in Limonge was bijzonder, zeker de moeite waard. Hou er rekening mee dat veel gesloten is op maandag.
    Het was een fijne ontspannen en sportieve week. Aanrader.

Activities

Limousin is characterised by rolling, hilly countryside where you can hike and cycle for hours without meeting other people. The peace and quiet you will find here will quickly make you forget your daily worries. Here you can relax and enjoy yourself. This is what a holiday is all about for many people!
There is also plenty to do in the spacious surroundings of ArcenFrance. There are plenty of hiking and mountain biking routes and the roads are perfect for getting out and about on ordinary (racing) bikes. To cycle in this somewhat hilly landscape, a battery bike will be a godsend for many. There are also many lakes and rivers where you can fish, swim and canoe. Close to ArcenFrance, about 5 minutes by car and 30 minutes on foot from the cottages, is an attractive swimming lake, with separate children's pool and plenty of playgrounds. A visit to one of the many vide greniers (flea markets) is also definitely worthwhile.
