Holiday Rental House Description

Welcome to Vacances Vertes les Belles (http://www.vacvertes.com). Whether you are looking for a unique holiday rental for your self-catering group or want to experience our stimulating environmental residential courses, you will find this the perfect base for a relaxing holiday. We can accommodate up to 14 people within 6 stylish bedrooms - 5 of which have private bathrooms. We welcome disabled guests - please contact us for further information about our accessible bedroom and private bathroom.

Ideally located in the south Haute-Vienne department of Limousin (10 minutes from the A20 motorway, 30 minutes south of Limoges and 4 hours south of Paris), the house can be found nestling in the heart of the peaceful village of St Germain les Belles. Step out of the door and discover everything that the village has to offer - local shops selling fine Limousin produce, restaurants, historic buildings, summer fetes, markets, the swimming lake and beach... turn away from the village, and within a few minutes you will find quiet country lanes with wild hedgerows.

This attractive village gite, or self-catering house, has been entirely renovated and furnished to a high standard. The truly beautiful interior is tasteful and bright, with many original features, stunning oak flooring and original artwork. The house also has a large private garden and dining terrace, with views out onto open countryside and buttercup meadows.

This unspoilt region of France is ideal for large families or groups of bird-watchers, artists, canoeists, walkers, cyclists... in fact, anyone who loves being surrounded by nature and wants to enjoy a 'greener holiday'. The owners of Vacances Vertes les Belles, Howard and Anna Chambers, live at the nearby farm of Las Combas and are confident that you too will be charmed by the beauty of this gorgeous part of France.

Please see http://www.vacvertes.com/organic.html for details of our 'Organic Vegetable Gardening' courses and 'Art in Design' Painting Holidays!

St Germain les Belles is a perfect example of a fine Limousin village - peaceful, attractive and just seconds away from beautiful rolling countryside. It also boasts many attractions:

5-hectare tranquil village lake and sandy beach, with supervised swimming and pedalo hire throughout the summer. There is also an adjacent play area for the kids. The campsite bar / restaurant is open to the public in the summer and has some fantastic music / themed nights.
2 bar-restaurants, local grocery shops (selling delicious local fruit, cheese, wine, locally-raised meat) and 2 'boulangeries' - live the dream of having warm croissants for breakfast!
Typically French, winding, narrow streets and historic buildings, including the beautiful 14th century medieval village church.
Festivals, markets, dances, cinema showings, children's activities...
The village also boasts a bank, a limited railway service to Limoges, an estate agent, a petrol station, a pharmacy and 2 recycling points.
Limousin has been called the 'French Lake District' but it has a beauty and charm all of its own. It is incredibly rural and peaceful with magical scenery. There are few busy roads, a huge network of meandering country walks, rolling hills, forests, lakes, etc. You will certainly be able to experience a slower pace of life and true rural French culture. We are surrounded by swimming lakes and beaches; Lake Vassiviere, which is Europe's largest man-made lake and a popular tourist destination, is only 45 minutes away.

We are also only 30 minutes away from the attractive city of Limoges, where you can discover the large number of Porcelain factory outlets, independent boutiques, an Aquarium, restaurants, and the nightlife... or simply wander around the historic Old Quarter.

This rural location is great for bird watching, climbing, canoeing, animal parks, fishing, open gardens, stunning historical buildings, museums, etc. For further information on the wealth of things to see and do here, please contact us (anna@vacvertes.com) or have a look at our links page - http://www.vacvertes.com/links.html
