The gite is situated in Neuville, a quiet hamlet just north of the local town of St Mathieu in South West France within the Perigord National Park. The surrounding area is populated with numerous forests and lakes and is a delight for nature lovers.
Main local attraction are the nearby Lake and beach at St Mathieu for those wishing to stay local. Chateau's can be found along the local 'Route of King Richard the Lionheart' for those interested in history. The local martyr village of Oradour sur Glane is a stark reminder of how France suffered under Nazi occupation during WW2.The Dordogne tourist sites are only an hour's drive away but many prefer the local walks and beauty of the Perigord national park. The Futuroscope at Poitiers is also only an hours drive north.
For those who love city shopping try Limoges, Angouleme or Perigreux.
