This area has so much to offer and what we tell
you here is only part of it , the rest you will
discover for yourself or if we have not mentioned
a particular interest of yours please just ask

Just
a five minute drive from your holiday home you
will discover the lac de st pardoux which is
a lake of over 33 kilometres in size and has
three beaches with all facilities including
hiring of boats / pedalos , children play areas
, picnic areas , lovely sandy shores / large
water slide / bars & restaurants . During
the day these beaches have life guards and there
is always something going on for the children
from foam parties in the day to laser music
shows at night .
If
the beach is not for you why not escape to the
city of limoges, it's only a 20 minute drive
to the centre . Here you will discover the old
culture of france mixed with the new . You can
wonder down the old town through all the lanes
and peer into the individual shops or have a
coffee in one of the many café bars and
just relax -you are on holiday after all! There

a large aquarium for the kids and a train which

by visiting the old cathedral . There is a large
food market in the centre of the old town selling
anything from cheese to fish and is definitely
