The famous hilltop town of Rochechouart is very close by. Here you will be able to the historic town and enjoy a coffee at one of the several restaurants. Further afield Confolens, famous for it’s festival of dance and music in August, provides more interesting architecture along the borders of the river Vienne which gives the town a pretty setting. Angouleme lies to the southeast and is where you will be able to see the chocolate factory or learn about the history of comics at the museum.

Limoges itself has excellent shopping facilities and an attractive city centre where you will find a variety of restaurants and cafes to suit every pocket.

So if you want a value for money holiday in an unspoilt rural area of France, why not try our gite in the Charente for a week this year. Alternatively if you are looking for a comfortable convenient place to stay for an equestrian holiday this could be your solution.
