Situated in the green countryside of the French Limousin
region La Musardière dominates the
valley of the river Vienne between the city of Limoges and the town of
Saint-Junien. A converted barn featuring a large stone fireplace and a
mezzanine, La Musardière has five guest rooms
with en-suite shower rooms.The city of Limoges, administrative capital of the Limousin
region, dates back from the Gallo-Roman period and
is famous for its porcelain and enamel factories. The A20 motorway
puts Limoges in close contact with Paris in the north and Toulouse in the
south. Nearby historical sites such as the Castle of
Rochechouart, the Second World War martyred village of
Oradour-sur-Glane and the historic route of Richard Coeur de Lion
are well worth a visit.
The region is most renowed for it's excellent beef and it's clafoutis
dish, a creamy flan in pastry dotted with succulent red cherries. From the
bordering Perigord region Foie gras and Confits are part of the traditional
cuisine.
For outdoor fun in the area you can enjoy fishing, canoeing,
kayaking, cycling or horseback riding. You can also go swimming, sailing and
wind-surfing at the region's leading water sports centre.
La Musardière is only 18 kilometers from Limoges-Bellegarde Airport
where low cost airlines Ryanair and FlyBe have scheduled flights.
Monique & Michael welcome their guests from Easter to September.
