Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2008

We are a professional couple from Melbourne and our passions are food, travel, photography and vintage cars. I had dreamt of owning a house in in a lovely little french village since I was a child and travelled to France with my parents. Then by chance an opportunity to buy our lovely village house came up last year and we went for it. We decided to do it earlier than planned and to rent it out for holiday accomodation so that other people could enjoy our slice of heaven too. It has been a challenge to get it up and running from the other side of the world however we have loved every minute of it. It is now fully set up with eveything for a great holiday and we have a lovely english housekeeper who manages the house for us.

Why the Owner Chose Saint-Sulpice-les-Feuilles

We had travelled to France many times and had visited most departments. We love the Luberon and also Dordogne however we felt they had been spoilt a little by development and tourism. We wanted to get the authentic french experience and found it in Limousin. We think it is truely the undiscovered part of France. There is beautiful countryside, great markets, fresh local produce (that the restaurants in the area take advantage of) and it is only a few hours from Paris.

The Unique Benefits of this Village House

One of the criteria for buying our property was that it needed to be in a 'living' village. Meaning - one that had life and included a boulagerie, a grocery store, a butcher and other shops. Our village has all of this and more - it is a bustling little village all year round and doesn't just come to life in August when everyone is on holidays.
The other redeeming factors for our house in that it is located in a lush part of France that has lovely lakes, rolling green hills, beautiful medieval hilltop villages, chateaux and Limousin (the capital) is only 30 minutes down the freeway which means that the international airport is very close.

    • Before I comment on the lovely home we stayed in… I must describe this group of travelers. It was me, Grandma, my daughter, my 14 yr. old granddaughter and 13 yr. old niece. We come from 3 different areas of the U.S. We traveled in the Alsace Lorraine region, a week in Paris, and an all too brief stay in Limousin. We leased a vehicle and I had my GPS. Would not do without it. We spent only 3 days at the house at that was not long enough... the house is on a busy street in town, but quiet. 2 patisseries and a couple of grocers just steps from the home, with a butcher shop right across the street. After a hectic and wonderful tour around Paris, we found the St. Sulpice house delightful... bright, clean, easy to maintain . The beds are comfortable. Our teen girls loved the purple and blue sheets and the shutters in their room. Personally I liked my room with the white sheets. The house was very welcoming; the kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment and basic essentials such as spices. The local market had an amazing variety of coffee and cheeses for such a small town. I wanted to fill a bag with groceries to bring home. The entertainment center is well equipped with fine DVDs and CD's, well used by all of us, and the maps and books were very helpful. We did not spend enough time in Limousin, the time we did was enjoyable. I liked being the only folks who spoke English in town. It was quaint seeing senior residents of the town walking from the store with wicker baskets filled with their daily provisions. If you don't know it... I would definitely recommend learning some French. I got along fine. After a week in Paris, I was able to converse quite well in French, but I already knew the language. Do say bonjour and bonsoir to all the good folks in town. They are very friendly. I would definitely recommend a mobile phone. My daughter had one, but had limited access. A France phone card is a good alternative. There telephone boxes in many places around the town. We did not eat locally. We went to Limoges and to Perigueux. Both the cities offered a wide variety of restaurant choices. Poitiers is just north of here. Given more time I would spend a full week in St Sulpice, but create a better plan ahead of time, use it as my central point, and fan out in every direction from St. Sulpice. Being accustomed to just googling every morning to plan out the day would does not work for this type area. I would plan day trips ahead of time and list a point of interest with a good restaurant nearby. I definitely would do Limoges for a full day, not on a Sunday, when most everything is closed. It’s a great mix of middle ages and current. I would go to Perigueux again as well, probably for two days, great restaurants and shops.
