Chris and Mary Rose invite you to visit their Holiday Cottages or Gite for self catering holidays in the Lake District of France in the beautiful hamlet of Frachis, St Junien Les Combes, together with use of a 10m x 5m Salt Water Swimming Pool. Situated near Bellac in the Limousin area of France, these beautiful fully furnished 3 bedroomed cottages are only a 15 mins drive, through picturesque countryside to the lake of St Pardoux and its quiet beaches.  Only 5 mins drive from the market town of Bellac and 30 minutes drive from the city of Limoges and its main Bellegarde Airport.
Frachis Holiday Cottage is equipped with all modern facilities, yet maintains its traditional feel with its exposed stonework and timbers.  The covered terrace to the rear and private walled garden to the side, provide perfect settings for barbeques, or just relaxing with a cocktail until sunset.

Frachis Cottage (Sleeps 6) is conveniently situated within easy reach of a number of recreational sites, which makes it an ideal location for a varied and enjoyable holiday.

Whilst it is set in a tranquil hamlet surrounded by fields, it is only a few minutes drive from the local town of Bellac, which has ample shopping facilities including 3 supermarkets.  It also has an outdoor swimming pool with water shoot, theatre and Tourist Information Centre.  2 kilometres drive brings you to the next village, Berneuil, which has a bakers, a shop/bar and a Post Office.  There are many excellent restaurants in the surrounding villages, that offer a wide choice of menus, ranging from the simple three-course lunch at 10 euros to the gourmet.  The Limousin is a relatively undiscovered region of France and therefore is by no means overcrowded.  It is both the garden and the "lake district" of France and is a joy to visit.  Whether exploring the area by car or on foot, there is much to warrant your interest, enabling you to enjoy a holiday with a difference.

Within fifteen minutes picturesque drive, is the lake of St Pardoux, which has a number of pleasant beaches, picnic areas, restaurant/bar and a pool with water shoot, various boating and canoeing activities. 

The nearest large city, 25 minutes drive, is Limoges, "The Red City" famed for its porcelain and enamel work.  It is a wonderful mixutre of the old and new, both in its architecture and its shopping facilities.

A shopping mall and streets full of modern boutiques are side by side with the older, more traditional shops and a vast variety of restaurants.  There is much in Limoges to delight the senses and much that is new to see and visit. 

There are also many beautiful forest walks within easy reach, 3 golf-courses, horse-riding, go-karting, theme parks and zoo.

Mary and Chris your hosts, came to live in France in 2002, they are a well travelled couple, enjoy meeting people and will make your stay as welcoming as possible.
