What seems to be a common theme over here is that alot of people consistently argue that there is not alot to do here in the Limousin........I suppose some may rightly argue that that's the point! If you choose to live in the rural countryside then surely you are choosing a simpler lifestyle? Country walks and the like.
Myself and Jax are both young and full of energy, we like trying new things and we try and get a balance of the quiet life with keeping things interesting.
What we have definitely found out here is this. ADVERTISING FOR EVENTS,TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, PARTIES E.T.C ARE HERE BUT THEY ARE IN FRENCH!!
This might sound very expat but its not meant to. We have simply found that in order to find out about things its best alot of the time to look in the French papers like Le Populaire. Alot of the British mags out here are great but they simply don't have the information about Vides (Car boots) Fetes and other events that the French go to.
Similarly I am sure the French don't know much about English events going on locally.
We have found that within one hour of our guest house www.theretreatfrance.com there is everything from canoeing,horse riding,shooting, archery,tennis to Theme parks, cultural cities like Poitier and plenty of lakes for sailing in!
So if you want a relaxed holiday think about coming out and seeing us, but also should you want to do loads of activities here then you can do that too!!!
