Local Area Details

If there is a heart of France, if the expression La France Profonde - deep France - has any meaning, this is where to find it. For simple rural charm, Limousin is hard to beat. It has Forests, lakes, gorges, castles, and volcanic ancestry. There is warmth and old-fashioned courtesy about the people of this region, which makes any visitors welcome.

The whole area is well known for its beautiful scenery, excellent food and wine, and some world-famous tourist attractions wild unspoiled countryside deep into the real rural France. Nearby you can also find golf, horse riding, canoeing, and beautiful countryside for walking, cycling and touring. Nevertheless for those who are less energetic there is fishing for which this region is so famous for or take a stroll along the riverside at Argentat in memory of the Gabare boats men of bygone days...

This area is practically completely unspoilt, the only large "human" intervention being a series of dams down the principle rivers to provide hydro-electrical power. But even these dams generate their own beauty in the form of lakes up-stream where in some cases water-borne activities are possible.

The town of Argentat has shops and an array of restaurants and other excellent eating-places, many of which are right on the banks of the river Dordogne. The whole area is well known for its good food and wine; there are many places to go within easy reach.

Also worth a mention is the presence of many caves in the area, including the very famous Gouffre de Padirac. This is essentially an enormous series of underground lakes, and they can be accessed through a hole which sinks deep into the earth. This really is a sight to behold, and photography is difficult within the caves and could never capture the scale and beauty of this natural phenomenon. However, they do take a photo of you on the underground boat ride as a souvenir.

Not far away is Rocamadour, a pilgrimage site and of great importance since the middle ages. Rocamadour is a town built spectacularly up the side of a hill.
