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, swimming pools in Objat and Juillac (July and August) and for paddling a small river at the bottom of our hill. |
