Tip from home owner

“The landscape is characterised by stretches of forest, alternating with meadows and fields. The many small lakes scattered here and there are striking. Walking and cycling routes have been plotted in the immediate vicinity. It is worthwhile discovering the beautiful views and hidden villages.
Even in spring and autumn, the nature here is worthwhile.

On the border of the three departments Charente, Haute Vienne and Dordogne, you have a lot of possibilities for big and small trips. Visit for example the castle of La Rochefoucauld, the comic museum in Angoulême, or the Romanesque church in Cherves-Chatelars. Also cities like Limoges with its porcelain (60 km), Angoulême with its old city centre (40 km) and Périgueux with its cathedral (95 km) are definitely worth a visit.

France is not France if there is no market. Villages in the vicinity regularly hold bric-à-brac, where people trade in second-hand goods.
At the large, weekly market in Piégut-Pluviers (22 km), everyone comes to do their shopping and there is a pleasant bustle.

Near Montbron there is a canoe centre from where trips on the Tardoire can be made. You can go sailing on Lac de Lavaud (24 km), where you can also swim. The recreational lake in St. Estephe (19 km) with sandy beach and catering facilities offers opportunities for young and old.
Horse riding and climbing is organised by the Centre des loisirs at the Gorge du Chambon (10 km).
The 18-hole golf course of Golf de la Prèze is located next to the house. There are also courses in St. Junien (45 km) and Angoulême (45 km).
Hiking and cycling are possible in the immediate vicinity.”
