Gite In The Limousin


If you are looking for a comfortable Self Catering Gite for your holiday, long weekend or as a place to stay while you find or renovate your dream home in France then take a look at Avalon Limousin.

Situated in the stunning Haute Vienne department of the Limousin, this newly refurbished gite offers splendid views out onto the beautiful Ambazac Mountains (Monts d'Ambazac).

The gite is located adjacent to the owners main house which serves as a bed and breakfast. This enables the owners to be available should you require anything or have any problems.

The gite has been recently restored, rewired and furnished with modern fittings whilst still retaining a cosy, old time cottage feel. The beautiful stone chimney breast is a central feature downstairs along with the exposed wooden ceiling joists and beams. The gite benefits from:

  • Gas instant water heating

  • WC with bath and shower

  • Washing machine

  • Fitted kitchen with gas hobs, kettle and tiled worktops

  • Electric oven/grill, microwave & refrigerator/freezer

  • Open Plan lounge and dining area with exposed wooden beams

  • Wood burning stove with rustic stone hearth (firewood available separately)

  • Upstairs, spacious double bedroom with vanity unit

  • Access to gardens and terraced, decked pool area



The village of Saint Sulpice Laurière has all the shops and facilities you could possibly need during your stay including the very welcoming Kerguelen bar/tabac and a train station with regular trains into the stunning city of Limoges. The village has it's own, well stocked lake and day permits are available from the Kerguelen (pronounced Kerr-Gaye-Lenn) for just a few euros.

The nearby town of Ambazac has three large supermarkets, a couple of bars and restaurants. Located on the way to Limoges, Ambazac is well worth a stop off for a look round.

After a tiring day out you can take advantage of an evening meal either taken in the main house with the owners or as a take-away to eat in the gite. For full details, see the B&B page on the website. Indian food is a speciality and not to missed. A whole repertoire of traditional and freshly prepared, delicious curries (no hot-ups and definitely not a shop bought sauce to be seen) are available and at only 37€ per head for a full soiree which includes drinks for the duration of your meal you are guaranteed a very special treat during your break.
