How to get here
La Croix is situated in the eastern corner of the Charente countryside in South West France, near to the Haute-Vienne border, situated between the three towns of Bellac, Confolens and St. Junien.
Driving time is approximately 4.5 hours from Caen,
5 hours Le Havre/St.Malo, and 6.5 hours from Calais/Boulogne.
Best driving route follows Rouen/Le Mans/Tours/Poitiers avoiding Paris !
Ryanair and Flybe both offer flights into Limoges (just 25 mins away)with availabilty from Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds/Bradford, Bournemouth, Manchester, Newcastle, Southampton, Stanstead, East Midlands, Gatwick, Liverpool.
Local Area
This is a very rural area but excellent facilities are available a short drive away, there are a lot of excellent restaurants within 30 minutes drive of the gite, we have visited many of them and will be happy to advise you if you would like to eat out.
The Charente is officially the second sunniest Region in France after the Mediterranean coast and has long warm summers which often continue into November. The Limousin also offers many towns and villages to visit, including Mortemart which is 15 minutes drive, and has been voted one of the 130 most beautiful villages of France.
The "Monts de Blond" which climb to over 1000 metres above sea level are very close by and can actually be seen from the gite, these are the first foothills of the "Massif Central" and provide an area of outstanding natural beauty, with forests, beautiful lakes and stunning scenery. Horse Riding in this amazing area is available and can be arranged for you.
There are plenty of shops in the large town of St Junien which is only 12 minutes drive from the lake.
La Vallée de la Vienne runs through the area from Limoges through St.Junien and Chabanais and then to the very pretty medieval town of Confolens (which hosts an international music festival every August) and is full of scenic countryside and charming, quiet French villages.
RECOMMENDED - Canoeing on the River Vienne, a 2.5 hour session starting at Excideuil which is a 30 minute drive from La Croix, the organisers will collect you from Manot which is the finish point and drive you back to collect your vehicle at Excideuil. No experience is neccessary, the River is very beautiful and tranquil - it is a superb way to spend an afternoon and we can make all the arrangements for you.
The large city of Limoges is 35 minutes drive away, and has all the facilities you would expect to find in a large city. The River Vienne flows through the city and there are several large public parks, an aquarium, many bars and restaurants and several shopping areas.
