Hi, let me introduce ourselves. We are Peter and Julie a retired English couple living in a traditional rustic French farmhouse in a very beautiful rural area where we grow our own vegatables and rear chickens, ducks and the occassional pig and try to be self sufficient.
Our daily lives are filled with tending the garden, looking after the animals, maintaining all the equipment and chopping wood for the log burner.
We live a peaceful, unhurried lifestyle set amongst fields and woodland, plenty of fresh air and good home grown, home cooked food and of course the occassional glass or two of wine, after all this is France! The wildlife here is amazing, there are all sorts of buzzards, kingfishers, nightingales that sing all night and streams full of crayfish and tadpoles this time of year. There are towns and villages with popular beach lakes, plus a 30 minute drive to Limoges city for the occassional day out, plus a weekly trip into the local town for our supermarket shop.
We welcome you to stay and help work in the garden and the house, if you have skills we can use that is brilliant but we are happy to teach you as well. On offer is your own room, use of the bathroom and living areas and join us for home cooked meals.
