Fabulous home base situated in a peaceful historically classified hamlet called Chateaux Limoges, two minutes from the magnificent 100 hectare Lake du Causse. La Tour de Faucon is located near the nexus of the Correze, Dordogne, and Lot regions. You can experience the delights of three different worlds, with famous medieval towns such as Collognes la Rouge, Turenne, Sarlat, and Rocamadour, to name but a few, all within half an hours drive. The "Forest of Stalactites" at Gouffre de la Fage is just down the road.
Brive la Gaillarde is a 10 minute drive away, or there is a regular bus service. Brive has a population of around 50,000 and has all manner of shops and shopping centres, restaurants and services. The historic centre is well worth a visit.
For golfers, the 54 hectare "Planchetorte" course which beautifully meanders through the forest is 15 minutes away. Famous for rustic cuisine, the area produces some of the best food in France, foie gras, pate, truffles, confits, cabecou (delicious goat cheese), walnut wine, liqueurs, etc. Try some local home style fare at the restaurant a couple of doors down. There's a cafe a short walk up the hill and a bakery on the way to the lake for those morning croissants and fresh cabecou. All manner of watersports equipment can be hired at the lake or you may prefer just a quiet paddle.
Whether its a walk down a country lane, a splash in the lake, or a visit to an old castle, La Tour de Faucon is a great place to relax after a days exploring.
