A region heavily influenced by the medieval architecture of its many chateaux and churches. The stone houses have a simplicity of rural living with those special features that are so pleasing to the eye.The Southern Limousin and the borders with the northern Dordogne is considered the start of South West France enjoying a climate of long hot summers and short sharp winters. Summer days are long and warm with temperatures above 30 degrees.The area is alive all year round and is not solely reliant on tourism, making it very attractive for those of you looking to make a permanent move or looking for a holiday home for year round breaks.
The region is perhaps most well known for its fine cuisine and the accompaniment of fine wines from the neighbouring Bergerac region.
