Perfect for driving/motorbike enthusiasts, with a unique offer not found elsewhere, we provide safe private parking with CCTV for two cars, under cover parking for motorbikes, cleaning equipment, tools, an interactive tourist map with tried and tested directions to all of the main local tourist spots, and ready made printed local driving routes. Situated off the Route Nationale (N21) between Limoges and Perigueux along a no-through road, guests benefit from a quiet rural setting while being easily accessible. There is limited passing traffic and the only noise you generally hear is the birds. A private decking and garden area offers space for outside relaxation and dining, with a dining table/chairs and sun loungers, enabling guests to make the most of the superb views across the valley. A perfect spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquillity. Our local village, La Coquille, has a bakers, butcher, supermarket, pharmacy and other shops as well as a couple of restaurants, and is just a 15 minute stroll away. It is on the main trainline between Limoges and Perigueux which can take guests to Bordeaux in around two and a half hours. The town of Thiviers is a short drive away and has a superb weekly market as well as lots of community activities. There is plenty of history in the area such as the nearby town of Châlus with its links to Richard the Lionheart, and the sobering Oradour-sur-Glane World War II memorial which we would highly recommend to all visitors.

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 56 min drive \- 35.8 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 57 min drive \- 35.1 miles - Étang de la Barde 6 min drive \- 2.8 miles - Brantôme Abbey 48 min drive \- 33.3 miles ### Getting around - La Coquille Station 3 min drive - Limoges (LIG-Limoges Intl.) 40 min drive ### Restaurants - Saveurs et valeurs 7 min drive - Beaubatit René 7 min drive - Auberge de la Petite Rivaille 16 min drive - Saint Pierre de Frugie Village Fete 7 min drive - Resto Routier 4 min drive ## Have a question?
