Are you refering to La Jonchere St Maurice on the D914 near Ambazac, north of Limoges. If so I live about 15km away. Ambazac has a good builders merchant - Tout Faire (Ambazac Materials) and a couple of others. It is quite a reasonable size town with several bars, Hyper Champion, Lidl's, Leader Price etc. The Hotel de Voyager has an excellent restuarant with several set evening menus at about 14 euros. I wouldn't say there is an expat community as its quite rural, but there are quite a few English people around the general area but a bit spread out as opposed to clumping together. Hope thats of assistance. Can provide more info if I have the right La Jonchere. Tony
