Location

The Limousin region is rich in history with plenty to explore.
* Limoges - famous for porcelain and enamelling, and with history dating to before Roman times. Visit the Cathedral and Butchers Quarter.
* Oradour sur Glane - an entire town is preserved in memory of its destruction during WW2
* Lac de Sagnat - walk around the lake to view the trees around the lake. The trees are marked and descriptions given throughout the pleasant, easy walk. Or, stop at the beach for a spot of sunbathing or swimming.
* Lac du Saint-Pardoux - a large lake about 15 minutes drive from the Gites with beaches for sunbathing and swimming or areas for water sports such as canoeing. There are cycle tracks around the lake and a 22km walk. Something for everyone.
* Bandafolies - a weekend of bands and activities centred in Bessines-sur-Gartempe. Well worth the visit.
Finally, for something different visit Ureka - a new mining museum within walking distance.
