Exploring

Situated on the edge of three counties you can profit from a diverse range of activities. Poitiers is about an hour away famous for the fantastic cinematographical center of Futuroscope and Limoges an hour further South with its beautiful cathedral and of course plenty of opportunities to purchase gifts of the outstanding Limoges porcelain. It is also an area of great historic interest. The important chateau at Chateauguillaume is a fifteen minute drive and further afield the Chateau of Sarzay which is the process of being restored to its full glory. In a wonderful setting with four towers it is well worth a visit. Or visit the valley of frescoes between St. Savin and Saulge.

There are organised hikes or you can simply set out on your own with a map. At the Maison de la Brenne, there is an interpretive center where visitors can learn about the region, its ancient traditions of fish farming and nature conservation. A day out to visit the vast lake at Eguzon is a must. The lake stretches for twenty-five kilometers and is the perfect place where you can learn to water-ski, sail and windsurf. There are several beaches for swimming and restaurants with a wonderful choice of menus.

Shopping

Here also is a huge hypermarket where you can buy food, wine, clothes, kitchenware etc. The pretty town of Argenton-Sur-Creuse is well worth a visit and is only twenty mintues away. The ancient houses sit on the banks of the river Creuse and the central square has a welcome cafe where you can sit out and watch the world go by in true french fashion.
