Other remarks
The house is situated in a beautiful and quiet farming hamlet and is the ideal place to get away from the stresses of modern life yet it is only 5 kms from the market town of Excideuil with banks, pharmacies, shops, supermarket, doctors and dentists etc. In fact everything one needs is at hand. Closeby are the historic sites of Chateau de Hautefort (15 kms), where many films have been made, and which is steeped in history. Other attractions are Chateau de Jumilhac (17 kms), Lascaux Caves (34 kms), enjoy a coffee or lunch near the river at the beautiful village of Segur-le-Chateau (30 kms), Terrasson Gardens of Imagination (36 kms), Thiviers Market Town (17 kms) and many more places of interest. Excideuil itself is historical and quaint and many of its houses date from the 15th and 16th centuries. The church in the centre proudly shows off its gothic architecture from the same period. Large medieval ramparts surround Excideuil’s castle, which played a key part in establishing the village as the capital of the Green Perigord. It successfully repelled Richard the Lionheart on 3 different occasions. It is set impressively on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loue Valley.
The Tourist Office in the town can provide you with everything you need to know.
