Redcap Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi All!We are off on a recce of the Limousin beginning of April, in readiness for our impending permanent move later this year (along with most of the UK it seems!), once retired from police. Havenot decided exactly where we would like to lay our hats, it all seems really nice. I have a preference for Correze around Brive-La-Gaillarde, but will have a good look around the other Departments on the way down.I would welcome some input from those with knowledge/experience of the region, those lucky to be living there now!Adviceon some good towns/places to visit on our week in the region would be greatly appreciated. Any tips, pointers towards good estate agents etc. Have been looking on the net but to be honest, it's all getting a bit overwhelming. Up 'till now, we've just been browsing, dreaming, and keeping up to speed on this forum. Now reality is kicking in, not that many months to go and am getting worried!Any tips on B & B's as well please.Thanks in anticipation,Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip1 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Good luck in your search, if you look at my site - link below - it will tell you something of the village where we have our house. There are a few links on the site that may be useful.Pip (19)http://limousinleisure.mysite.freeserve.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leschenauds Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 We have been here for three years now and still love it! We have a campsite B&B just 1KM within the Creuse and over 60% of our visitors last year were looking to buy. happy to say that we now have 3 new lots of permanent neighbours (1.e. within 10 KM) and 4 new holiday home owners. Our website gives a brief overview of the area www.leschenauds.com. even though the email link seems to have stopped working. Always happy to advise.Our only regret - we didn't move here years ago.

Tizzyboots Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 We moved to Creuse between Gueret & Bouganeuf in December. The countryside is lovely - a bit like a cross between Wales & the Chilterns. If you like walking or riding it's the place to be! The people have been wonderful, we're in a hamlet of 5 houses, only two permanently inhabited, and the neighbours invited us round for Christmas dinner. We nearly bought a house in Correze south of Felletin but it seems to be much colder there. Even here it's pretty cold but we've just had 2 weeks in the 20's. Good luck!

Lachouette Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I've left a message in your inbox - or at least I hope I have! I'm new to the forum so am feeling my way with my first posting.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
