La Coquille, 45 minutes from Limoges and Perigueux

Les Cloches
Les Cloches is a comfortably furnished gite, all on one level, set in a peaceful location with beautiful views over rolling countryside. It is totally independent of the main house, but also has the benefit of our being discreetly close by to help you with anything you need to know. We are in the Perigord/Limousin National Park (an area of natural beauty), between Limoges and Perigueux, within walking distance of the small town of La Coquille, which has all shops and amenities.
We live in the small hamlet of Sainte Marie, just 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from La Coquille. The town has a bank, two supermarkets, a butcher, bakers and a patisserie, a post office, hairdressers, several bars and an excellent restaurant at Les Voyagers Hotel, a Take Away or Eat In Pizzeria and an interesting antique/bric a brac shop. Market day is every Thursday morning. We have a vet in the hamlet who is completely used to the Pet Travel Scheme for pet owners. If you take a 3 minute stroll from Les Cloches, you will find yourself at the beautiful La Barde lake, which you can walk around and if you like fishing, purchase a holiday fishing permit from the local tabac and spend some very relaxing hours beside the lake. The area is rich in wildlife with many deer, birds and, if you are lucky, you may even see a wild boar. A little further afield you have the market town of Thiviers (15 minutes), the lovely old village of St Jean de Cole, Brantome which is known as the Venice of Perigord, Jumilhace le Grand with its impressive Chateau, St Yriex la Perche with shops selling very reasonably priced Limoges porcelain.
Les Cloches has an open plan living/dining room with TV/DVD, CD/Cassette player and plenty of DVDs, CDs and books for you to enjoy and a fully equipped kitchen, which includes a coffee maker, kettle and toaster, as well as an oven, microwave, fridge and washing machine. The gite also has WiFi high speed Internet connection and a hairdryer is provided. There is a double bedroom and a shower room with toilet, handbasin and walk-in storage cupboard. There is also a private outdoor terrace kitchen/dining area looking towards lovely views, which is fully equipped and furnished for outside cooking, barbecuing and dining. A great place for breakfast. The pool is large, accessed by Roman steps and around the pool, are sun loungers and loungers for floating on in the pool, perfect for relaxing, reading or cooling off. We have put outside tables and seats in several different parts of the garden. We enjoy gardening and are sure that you will gain a lot of pleasure from your surroundings.
The Area
La Coquille has tennis courts and there are many walking and cycling routes in the immediate area. Horses can be hired and treks arranged at the stables in the village of Jumilhac le Grand and there is good fishing in the local lake and rivers, only 3 minutes walk from the gite. We are in an area with many chateaux and you can follow the route of Richard the Lion Heart taking you to many interesting chateaux that are open to the public. The Dordogne is famous for its prehistoric caves of which Lascaux is the best known, but there are many others to visit in this unique area. We are not far from the Haute Vienne border in the Limousin, which is very similar in countryside to this area and during the summer months, there are a succession of musical events. There is also a mime festivial in Perigueux each August, an excellent alternative circus in Nexon (no animals) and many other events throughout the summer with weekend fetes continuing through to the autumn.
