The Local Area
Nearby is one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France" – the medieval village of Ségur le Château with its noble houses which are dominated by the ruins of the ancient castle. The small town of Pompadour is also worth a visit – with its fairytale chateau – a gift to the mistress of Louis XV – Madame de Pompadour. Pompadour is also the capital of the Anglo-Arab horse and you can visit the chateau terraces and hippodrome. Flat and steeplechase races are held from June to September and the national traditional carriage driving competition is held on the last weekend in August.
A ten minutes drive from the cottage and you find yourself in the pretty, historic market town of Saint Yrieix la Perche on the Haute-Vienne/Dordogne border. Saint Yrieix has many cobbled lanes with interesting shops to explore and the train station at Saint Yrieix has regular trains direct to Limoges. Explore La Cité (the old City) in Limoges, which includes Saint-Stephen Cathedral, and take a stroll round the Bishop's Palace and gardens. Explore some mysterious underground passages: the Limoges Tourist Office organises guided tours. The city of Limoges has lots to offer for the tourist: Visit the Musée de l'Evéché, which presents one of the largest collections of world-famous enamels. The Museum also boasts a wide range of Impressionist paintings by Renoir, who was born in Limoges. Nearby - discover the Resistance Museum which shows the history of Limoges during the Second World War.
The cottage is also ideally situated for visiting the prehistoric sites of the Perigord and the renowned valley of the Dordogne. This is a region of unspoilt landscape with outstanding views, rolling hills, lakes, rivers and lots of designated walks.
