HIKING

In the immediate surroundings and in the Limousin, numerous hiking trails are available on the internet and at the Tourist Offices for experienced and novice hikers. The pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela passes our domain. Fun activity with the children is Geocoaching treasure hunt (terra aventura website or at the tourist office). The terra aventura routes are often only a few kilometres long and set in beautiful areas. This also makes these routes great for hiking with young children. The routes are also worthwhile without the geocoaching activity.

BIKE

Close to our domain runs the Voie Verte. This is an old railway line between Chalus and Oradour-sur-Vayres where a 15 km long cycling-walking path has been created. In Chalus it is possible to rent a bicycle. There are also plenty of opportunities for cycling and mountain biking in the Limousin. The Limousin has a dense network of small roads with little traffic and which are relatively well maintained.

RESTAURANTS

In Chalus, Pageas and Bussière Galant there are a few restaurants serving typical local dishes. Also in Chalus are an Italian restaurant and a food truck where you can order and take away pizza. More exclusive restaurants can be found in Limoges and Perigueux.
Pay attention to meal times. In France, restaurant kitchens are often only open between 12pm and 2pm and after 7pm hereafter. At the times beyond this, it is not possible to order food. Often on weekdays between 12 and 14 a good and complete menu is served for a very reasonable price (menu ouvrier).

Activities

Our grounds cover 3 hectares and, due to its sunny and quiet location in the middle of the forest, are perfect for relaxing holidays.
The domain is a wonderful playground for children. On the grounds there are a swing , a trampoline, a basketball board and a shed with toys.

There is a heated 12 x 6-metre saltwater swimming pool on the property. The pool is open from spring to autumn. Around the pool is a terrace and a lawn equipped with sunbeds, chairs and parasols. There is a fence around the pool and at night the pool is usually closed by an abri.
Use of the playground equipment and the swimming pool is entirely at your own risk. For safety reasons when using both the swimming pool and the playground equipment, we request that children be accompanied by an adult. The forest around our grounds is very suitable for walking.
In a quiet and beautiful spot on our property there is a sauna with wood-burning stove. Guests from les Ourgeaux can reserve the sauna at an additional cost (including wood for the wood-burning stove, bathrobes and towels). The sauna is closed in extreme heat and drought conditions.
