On to the Limousin

We crossed the country south-west to end up in what must be pretty much the centre of France. Here the countryside became more interesting again, with beautiful mountains and greenery; and we arrived at our second gite.

Run by English couple Rachel & Jamie, we loved the little Gite au Chez, and relished sitting in the garden under the tree, eating supper, gossiping, and watching the mad careering of the hirondelles. A simply furnished, light and comfortable bedroom, excellent shower, and beautiful views.
