The beliefs and the superstitions of Limousin, deep in the countryside of rural France where wolves roamed the beautiful and wild countryside not so long ago , and people feared werewolves, witches and vampires. They believed in the healing waters of the fountains and the local healers. There are still healers in the Limousin, and a wolf park keeps the memory of the wolf alive - listen to the howling in a short video clip. Les Trois Chenes Guest house and holiday cottage is on the borders of the Limousin, the Dordogne and the Charente near the medieval town of Rochechouart. A perfect place to stay for a really magical French holiday.
The Nautical Centre or, to give it it’s official title, the Water Sports Centre of the Haute Charente Lakes, sits on the banks of Videix Lake, just outside Verneuil. You can hire boats, (optimist, sailing dinghy, catamaran), wind surfs, canoës and rowing boats and explore the 40 ha of water. There are no motor boats so you can enjoy the wild life, the beautiful countryside, the peace and quiet.
Spent last night and this morning making Peach and Apple Chutney in an effort to use the fruit which is falling from the trees like rain. Will serve home made chutneys to our Bed and Breakfast guests over the winter months and next season.
