About my area

The Creuse is one of the least populated areas of this Country. With its many rivers and lakes (many suitable for swimming in), it is considered to be the ‘Lake District’ of France. Its beautiful countryside is perfect for walking, cycling and horseback riding with many miles of off road tracks and pathways. Our water is amongst the cleanest in France and our air is clean and unpolluted, this together with the friendly local people and the lowest crime rate in France, makes this, for us, the perfect place to live.

About me

I moved to the Limousin with my husband around Christmas time 2006. We had spent a lot of time driving around France and looking at the different areas before deciding that the Creuse was where we wanted to live. Our first year was spent renovating a derelict farmhouse. After that, our energy went into starting up a building company, just like we had in England. That accomplished, we could start to really enjoy our life here and now can not imagine living anywhere else. We share our home with various dogs, cats, horses, poultry and sheep just as we always envisaged but were unable to do when we were living busy, frantic lives in the UK. Now, our days are still busy but calmer, so we are able to take the time to enjoy and appreciate our lives.
