Folles holiday house rental - French self catering Limousin house

Welcome! Explore our site if you are looking for comfortable self-catering holiday accommodation in Central France. If you are looking for a relaxing "get away from it all" holiday, then this could be your haven. In the heart of the beautiful Limousin, the house is situated down a small lane that only leads to two other properties. We offer comfortable accommodation and grounds that include a 1-acre field leading down to the River Gartempe, where you can sit and watch the wildlife and the river flowing by. You can even do a spot of fishing in this premier category trout river, perhaps catching some rainbow or brown trout for lunch. Moulin de Boirot can be found just outside the small village of Folles. Folles is about a twenty-minute scenic car journey from Bessines sur Gartempe, which is just off the main A20 motorway-standard road which runs down France from Orleans. Please note that this property is not suitable for young children, as the river bank is not fenced off.

Views:Views to lovely countryside.

Limousin lies roughly in the centre of France and has preserved much of its natural beauty. It is a region of hills, river valleys and lakes, high plateaux and forest, great feudal fortresses, Renaissance chateaux and mediaeval towns and villages. The house is in the Haute Vienne, with its amazing diversity in its landscapes and unspoilt natural habitats. The chestnut forests of the newly-created Regional Nature Park of Perigord/Limousin alternate with the moorlands and peatbeds of the Ambazac mountains. The village of Folles is about a five-minute walk away and has a local pub with restaurant, church, a shop, where you can buy fishing permits post office. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking; there are a couple of scenic circular walks to do that start from the village. About a 10 minute car drive will take you to a lake which has a beach area where in the Summer time you can swim or hire out pedalos. Or you can fish, play crazy golf.
