The Barn	The lounge

The barn is in the NE Dordogne (Perigord Vert), between the large towns of Thiviers and St.Yrieix La Perche. It is a stone building typical of the area which has been converted over a number of years. A major feature is the full length balcony facing SW which takes full advantage of the impressive views and benefits from the full beauty of summer evening sunsets. The nearest village is Jumilhac le Grand, which has a full complement of shops and bars and boasts and impressive XVI Century castle overlooking the valley of the River Isle. The property is located in the small hamlet of Artis and is about 45 minutes by car from the historic towns of Limoges and Perigeux. The area is rich in historic links with the UK , most notably due to the time spent here by Richard the Lionheart. The "Route Richard Coeur de Lion" passes through Jumilhac le Grand and on to other local towns where he stayed, fought and died. Besides swimming and table tennis facilities at the barn it is possible to play tennis or go rock climbing (Jumilhac), go horse riding (several places within 5km) and take part in fishing or golf. Jumilhac is sited on a gold mine and for variety you can pan for gold in the River Isle.
