Gites Limousin

Gites Limousin The rental of holiday gites in France. Or, you could just relax in the sunshine, breathe in the fresh air and forget about the burdens of everyday life.

We have been welcoming guests since 2015 in our two lovely, side-by-side holiday cottages; nestled in the beautiful countryside in the sleepy hamlet of La Besse, Videix. Two wonderful quality gites or french holiday cottages, uniquely decorated and furnished with antiques and vintage pieces in the heart of the Haute Vienne region of the Limousin / Nouvelle Aquitaine countryside. We are located jus

t 5 minutes from the nearest leisure lake, with warmer waters than the sea you can experience lake-swimming on a sandy beach, hire sail boats, windsurfers, paddle boards or canoes. In the summer months there is also the choice of 3 lakeside bistros, serving refreshing ices, cool drinks and light meals. Nestled within the Perigord-Limousin Park Natural, the countryside is on your doorstep ready to explore and ramble away to your hearts content. The perfect region for walking, running or cycling with quiet roads & pathways that meander through tiny hamlets and leafy woodland. Close to the Charente and Dordogne borders, you will find everything you need within 30 minutes of the door from towns, shops and markets, to chateau and churches; through adventure parks, horse riding, golf and of course fishing.

Always love to find a solution … prep work for list nights eclipse : pin hole dark boxes 🫢 the glasses were impossible to find, a bit like gold dust over here 🕶️
Me and one of our guests trying them out before the event 🌙

We hadn’t been swimming for a while so we popped down to the lake last night.
Surprisingly quiet for August, and there is at least 3 meters more visible sand because of the drought; the water level has dropped so much.
And, it’s great to see that the swimming flag is currently green again 🎉

The skies were fabulously bright and clear throughout the month of July; these are just a small selection of my favourites 💞

Lac de Saint-Mathieu :

We usually go swimming at our local lake in Videix / Pressignac, but in the interest of research 🤭 we thought we’d try our next closest swimming lake in St Mathieu (just 11km from the gites)
A sandy beach with lovely deep waters is bordered by shady trees, a cafe ‘Cabanon du Lac’ and a permanent restaurant ‘La Grange du Lac’
The lake also has a large, inflatable structure; as well as a pontoon to jump or dive off.

Beautiful Brantome:
As ever we enjoyed going south to Brantome for the large, summer Vide Grenier that is held in ‘le Jardin Des Moines’ in front of the magnificent Abbaye.
We always love looking at the picturesque Michelin starred restaurant ‘le Moulin de l’Abbaye’ - one day we will eat there 💞

Lots of posts to follow : it’s been a busy fortnight… ❤️

First one supports our commune : Videix ‘Festi-Plage’ the annual lakeside festival… it is fabulous and, always wonderful to see how many people attend this 4 day event, with the fairground, night market, artisan market, live bands, DJ and orchestras, food and beverages

It is sad that it won’t have its usual spectacular fireworks display ; but it is obvious why it has been cancelled, along with all the others in the whole of the nouvelle Aquitaine region, the wildfires in the Gironde are devastating and we can’t take any chances. There is definitely enough to enjoy without them 🤗

The final owlet left the nest box last night : mixed emotions … 3 successfully fledged (possibly 4)
Its wonderful to know there are at least another 3 youngsters growing up in the hamlet and, that we can finally get some sleep again … but I’ll miss looking in on their daily video clips

The week before last we had another fabulous meal at Zen … it’s beginning to look like we are always eating out 😂 … our excuse is that we need to be able to give accurate feedback to our guests ❤️
