They are both hunters. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people from that generation in rural France do like hunting, fishing, fetching mushrooms. There are woodlands all around the karting circuit. My dad and his friend have built some platforms in the trees, and from mid-October to mid-November they go there every morning to shoot migrating birds. Those ones are some sort of wood pigeons going from Eastern Europe / Russia to North Africa. I did my own shooting that morning... with my camera! The sunrise was spectacular with some nice pink colours and mist in the valley.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634540050801/5c3a512b-33b7-401e-aa75-0ccebc159f86.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Regional Natural Park Périgord Limousin 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - ![Limoges Cathedral which includes interior views, a church or cathedral and heritage elements](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6110350/3669e1dd-7b89-4d59-845d-99a549376512.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Limoges Cathedral 54 min drive \- 35.2 miles - ![Gare de Limoges which includes heritage architecture, a sunset and a statue or sculpture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532503641/579929a3-3567-4463-8beb-2c07c360e6a9.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Gare de Limoges 55 min drive \- 36.4 miles - Jumillac Castle 5 min drive \- 3.3 miles - Zenith de Limoges 58 min drive \- 37.9 miles ### Getting around - Saint-Yrieix Station Station 9 min drive - Limoges (LIG-Limoges Intl.) 65 min drive ### Restaurants - L’Attanum 9 min drive - Chateau De Gateaux 8 min drive - La Mère Micheline 8 min drive - Bistrot du marché Glandon 11 min drive - Marché Festif 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Cozy country home with private pool have a pool? ### Is Cozy country home with private pool pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Cozy country home with private pool? ### What time is check-in at Cozy country home with private pool? ### What time is check-out at Cozy country home with private pool? ### Where is Cozy country home with private pool located? ## Have a question?
