The house has an enclosed garden and is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Jumilhac le Grand, on the historic Route Richard Coeur de Lion, and features a magnificent chateau, bringing to mind Hogwarts! The village lies within the Perigord Vert National Park, is 1 hour's drive from Limoges airport and 15 minutes drive from the train station in St Yrieix La Perche. The village has all essential amenities: 3 x bars, 2 x restaurants, baker, butcher, pharmacy, general store and doctor, all within a few minutes walk of the house. During the summer season, a local produce market sets up on the squre in front of the chateau.
Being able to have privacy in a fantastic safe village location with the convenience of being walking distance from all amenities is priceless. This is a spacious house where adults and children can all find space away from each other when they need it.

Restaurants, food & wine
The village has 2 great restaurants - one with a very traditional regional menu on the square in front of the chateau and the other, on a road leading off the main square, with a slightly more contempory choice. Both restaurants serve as bars outside dining hours. There is also another bar/coffee shop right on the square. All are wonderful places to sit, eat and drink with friends/family and watch the world go by.
Activities
The house is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Jumilhac le Grand, on the historic Route Richard Coeur de Lion.

A wide range of activities and amenities are available right on the door step and the chateau, local bar and restaurant are only 2 minutes away! The house is ideal for two families holidaying together or groups of adults and ideal as a base for cyclists or walkers.

Further remarks
This house has been my family's holiday home for over 23 years in which time our four children have grown up and returned to visit by themselves with friends. We're in the middle of the village with easy access to all amenities, yet completely private, and the children have always been able to roam in complete safety. Being able to take a few euros and buy the bread for breakfast from the boulangerie built their confidence in French from a very young age! We've had holidays here just as one family, with other families, as groups of adults, and as groups of young adults with equal success.
I first stayed in the village as a child with my French pen-friend's family. When holidaying in the area with friends many years later in 2001, we visited the village and I fell in love with the area all over again. Over a bottle of wine we decided to buy the house and have never regretted it!. We were never tempted to look for a barn style property away from habitation as one of the luxuries for us is to be able to do most things without jumping in the car and the children have always had the freedom to roam in complete safety as I used to with my French pen-friend when we were children.
