Location
Limousin is one of the most beautiful unspoilt regions of France, an area of gentle rolling hills, woodland, valleys, rivers and lakes dotted with many picturesque towns and villages. A region heavily influenced by the medieval architecture of its many chateaux and churches. The stone houses have a simplicity of rural living with those special features that are so pleasing to the eye.
The southern Limousin and the borders of the northern Dordogne are considered as the start of 'South West France' enjoying a climate of long hot summers and short sharp winters. Summer days are long and warm with temperatures in the low 30's.
The area is alive all year round and is not solely reliant on tourism, making it very attractive for those of you looking to make a permanent move or looking for a holiday home for year round breaks.
The region is perhaps most well known for its fine cuisine and the accompaniment of fine wines from the neighbouring Bergerac region.
Flight Information
There are regular flights all year round from Stansted, Southampton, East Midlands and Liverpool and there are summer flights from Bristol, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Leeds/Bradford, and Newcastle into Limoges airport; giving the region wonderful accessibility from the UK.
