Life is unhurried here people still have time to stop and chat or just watch you work! The gite sleeps six and is set in the village itself, perched on a hillside affording views over a wooded valley and the quaint 12th century church. St. Moreil is approximately 50 minutes to the east of Limoges located on the borders of the Creuse and the Haute Vienne, ideally situated for both holiday makers and house hunters alike. The area is a relatively undiscovered part of France and one of the most sparsely populated It has been referred to as the Lake District of France but without the crowds!
