La Villa des Cagnes, B&B, Champsanglard, Creuse, Limousin

Description:

Designed by an architect with a love of nature, the Villa des Cagnes is an old hunting lodge built at the end of the 19th Century, in the heart of the Vallee des 3 Lacs.

Now lovingly restored to its original use, the Villa des Cagnes offers superb accommodation in individually styled rooms, each with en-suite bathroom and a panoramic view over the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The Villa des Cagnes is built on a granite cliff which dominates the Limousine countryside.

The Villa des Cagnes offers the best of both worlds.

You can relax during your stay in the comfort of a charming and authentic French hunting lodge in the heart of the warm and welcoming region of Limousine and you can also participate in a wealth of sporting activities ranging from walking, to cycling, boating, swimming or fishing.

After enjoying a swim in the Villa's private swimming pool, a walk beyond the gardens of the Villa will lead you through beautiful countryside where you will be delighted by the wealth of colours offered by your surroundings - the blue of the lakes and sky, the tapestry of greens in the valleys and ancient forest and the mauve of the heather - a real landscape painter's paradise.

Nature lovers will undoubtedly enjoy all that the Villa des Cagnes has to offer.

Situated on the junction of several nature trails, visitors can walk in the shade of magnificent ancient oaks and sweet chestnut, along hedgerows of hawthorn and hazel by the banks of the river Creuse where buzzard, black kite and peregrine falcon fly.

Other animals - cattle, fox , stone martin, squirrels, or even roe deer, may accompany your journey as you stroll on foot, ride on horseback or mountain bike through the countryside. Within the vicinity are many cottages built of local granite and you may also discover old stone churches.

Take the time to discover the art and architecture of the region - its diversity will impress you.

Visit the chateau of Boussac, the centre of Comtemporary Art at Vassiviere, the Tapestry Museaum at Aubusson, the abbeys and churches and the Roman thermal baths at Evaux-les-Bains.

Alternatively pick up a bargain at an open-air village market - anything from fresh produce to bric-a-brac or genuine antiques.

An ideal resort for holiday makers and ramblers, offering a wide range of sports activities.

Rambling, horse riding and mountain bikes are the best means of discovering the countryside of the Pays des 3 Lacs.

A fisherman's paradise.

For the even more active, the area offers tennis, mini-golf, archery, pedallos, rowing boats, canoes or kayaks.  The department of La Creuse offers a total of 3,380 kilometres of water ways and the whole area is a fisherman's paradise where you can catch pike, perch, roach and beautiful local trout.
