Birdwatchers are perfectly placed on the terrace in front of the apartment or somewhere in the garden more>>

From the apartment there is a magnificent view over the valley of the river Gartempe and the mountains of Ambazac ( ‘Monts d’Ambazac’ ).

Shopping can be done in Fursac, la Souterraine and Limoges. A list of the local morning markets is available.

Many road-maps are available for walkers.

A nice starting point for an adventurous walk is the viaduct de Rocherolles,
a 54 m high railway viaduct over the river Gartempe, built in the middle of the XIX century. You can follow the river and there is a chance you may see a kingfisher or a black-bellied dipper. You might even be really lucky and see some otters.

Walking in the ‘Monts d’Ambazac’ provides you with beautiful views of the countryside. Here you can walk for hours without seeing anybody.

On your walks you can often meet deer.

And why not follow a part of one of the Limousin routes of the pilgrimage of St. Jacques to Santiago de Compostella.
