Property Sleeping 2

Lathus, on the borders of the Vienne and Haute Vienne, Limousin

Sleeps 2 (1 Bedroom, Shower room)

Traditional farmhouse Gite for 2 with private garden situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Our organic smallholding offers a restored self contained cottage with exposed beams and stonework, adjoining our home.

Conveniently situated on the border of POITOU CHARANTES and the LIMOUSIN departments
and only one hour in each direction to their capital cities of Poitiers and Limoges, CHEZ TARTAUD is surrounded by undulating farmland with tree-lined fields, cut into the dramatic rocky waters of the Gartampe river.

Much of this landscape can be explored on foot or by bike on many of the leafy lanes (chemins) accessible directly from our smallholding where an abundance of flora and wildlife abounds. Bird-watchers and wildlife-spotters will love it here.

Comfortable living / dining room with bespoke kitchen (dishwasher, washing-machine, fridge / freezer, cooker, microwave etc.). The first floor twin bedroom has an adjoining shower room with WC. Private landscaped garden with BBQ and furniture borders the duck pond, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing.

Sleeps 2 – No pets. Not suitable for young children.
Ideal for walking or cycling around the many well marked tree lined rural lanes 1km to the dramatic rocky waters of the river Gartempe, with small swimming beach, licensed fishing, canoeing - sailing, tennis and horse riding nearby. Local village shops and bar are only 1.5 km, the historic market town of Montmorillon 15 mins drive.

You have access to the 12 acres of our organic smallholding.
Our children love the animals, fresh vegetables, pond, fields, trees and the stream – we even have plans to restore the old lake. They build dens, play hide and seek in the “secret area” and come home with rosy cheeks and hearty appetites.

In the summer months, our above ground pool in the landscaped gardens behind the house and cottage is popular with both children and adults alike.

Lathus-Saint-Remy
About 1.5km by road (or chemin) passing the equestrian centre is the village of LATHUS with a small supermarket which includes the butchers, there are two boulangeries (one who deliver direct to our farm most mornings), florist, doctor, pharmacy, post office, bar/restaurant and bank.
Lathus dating from Gallo-Roman times, has its granite-built Church of Saint Maurice (12th – 13th Century) plus dolmen (rocks) of Marchain and several chateaux (e.g. Ouzilly, le Ché and Cluzeau-Bonneau).
Heading 1km in the opposite direction to the village from the cottage, you find the wild beauty of the Roc d’Enfer (Stone of Hell) astride the rapids of the Gartempe river.
In a quieter part of the river past the chateau de Chez Rogan but still within 1.5km of Chez Tartaud, is the small swimming beach, picnic area and an excellent restaurant
A whole host of activities are on offer locally
on the river and at the neighbouring Centre de Plein Air and Equestrian Centre such as, fishing, canoeing, sailing, tennis, mountain bikes, rock climbing, archery, horse riding and the educational farm.
Lathus is the regional capitol of canoe-kayak and is appreciated for slalom (class 3 & 4) with regular competitions and training events throughout the year.
15 minutes drive north of Chez Tartaud is the main town of MONTMORILLON
where you can find larger supermarkets and shops, the tourist office, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, cinema, cafes, restaurants and Wednesday morning market.
If you have a sweet tooth you shouldn’t leave without visiting the almond and macaroon museum. Steeped in history, the medieval quarters of Montmorillon host La Cité de L’Écrit et des Métiers du Livre which provides a host of shops and activities surrounding the world of words, writing, paper and bookmaking. But you will also want to visit the Maison Dieu with its ancient octagon, the protected façade of the Saint Laurent Chapel, the frescos and medieval fortifications and beautiful gardens which offer a panoramic view of the town over the river Gartempe.

Montmorillon is also in the centre of the Valle des fresques and within easy reach of Saulgé (painting of the 19th Century) Jouhet (frescoes of the 15th Century) Pindray with more frescoes and the chateau de Pruniers, Antigny, Saint-Germain and finally Saint-Savin where the abbey has been acclaimed by UNESCO on its World Heritage List..
