When we arrived in France we landed, quite by chance, in the Dordogne and spent 10 very happy years there. However, we were missing the wild open expanses of the moors and coasts of the Westcountry and so we headed further inland (!!) to the Auvergne/Limousin border where we have mountains closeby, as well as many lakes and river gorges - wonderful wild Auvergne landscapes in addition to the lush farmlands of the Limousin... The best of both worlds for those of us who value the surrounding landscape above all. But that's not all: we were delighted to discover that the locals hereabouts are even more open and welcoming than in the Dordogne. So when we have sold our present home (you can see it on our website) we will be staying closeby.
