Only 3kms away from Gites La Colline lies the village of Objat, with its shops, restaurants and famous Sunday market. To visit: Donzenac (medieval village), Travassac (where all the slates come from), Yssandon (view), le Saillant (swimming and canoeing in the river the Vézère), Uzerche, Arnac-Pompadour (National Stud, donkeyday on July 14th, castle), Brive-la-Gaillarde (shopping). Rocamadour, Turenne (castle), Collonges-la-Rouge (beautiful redstone village), the castles of Hautefort and Castelnau-Bretenoux, the towns of Sarlat-la-Caneda and Perigueux, caves as Gouffre de Padirac and Lascaux II, gardens of Marqueyssac and Eyrignac and Les jardins de l`Imaginaire. In July and August there are markets in the early evening where one can buy products from the region (meat, trout, cheese, bread, wine, crepes, ice-cream) and eat `sur place`. There are hugh barbeques and often you can enjoy live music. The beautiful countryside of the south-west Corrèze is excellent for walking and many of the footpaths are signposted. When you want to cool off there is the Lac de Poncharal near Vigeois and a swimming pool in Objat (July and August) and for paddling a small river at the bottom of 'our' hill. |
