Lovely Period Cottage described by friends & visitors as a " Hansel & Gretel" Fairytale Cottage full of Beams, Nooks, Crannies, & Original Character Features.
Close to the Vichy Border this area was a hotbed of Resistance during Ww2 & our lovely elderly neighbour recalled stories of smuggling food to the fighters when she was a young girl. A cache of arms was found secreted In a wall of our property during renovation works & these were handed In to the authorities.
The Cottage is nestled In the beautiful Limousin countryside of forests, lakes & chateaux yet close to all amenities Including supermarkets & the stunning historic City Of Limoges, birthplace of Renoir.
Renowned for fine porcelain, Limoges regularly hosts eclectic, bustling antiques markets throughout the cobbled streets of the Mediaeval City. It is a delight to immerse In the atmosphere at the many street cafes whilst being entertained by talented buskers. The guitarist / folk singer & the young lady accordianist are magical.
