Around 1 hour from the city of Limoges with excellent international transport links.

Less than an hour from the historic town of Limoges (famous for its porcelain dating back to the 18th Century), in the heart of a National Park renowned for it s outstanding natural beauty. The Villa was originally designed as an "avant-guard" architectural piece, for the industrial heir of the Limoges Porcelain Factory by a famous Limougeaud architect. This property possesses an extremely privileged habitat, a Mediterranean micro-climate, peace, complete privacy and tranquillity, an enviable panoramic view, and just five minutes away from the nearest small town with all services. There are two large tourist lakes in the vicinity, golf and equine activities, and also kayak-canoe activity. There is also a racecourse at the Pompadour Chateau at just 1 hour drive from the villa. Since 1837 the Pompadour Horse-racing Association has organized annual horse racing events during the summer, on the flat and over jumps. The racecourse (hippodrome) at Pompadour, rated as 1st Class for jumps and 2nd class A on the flat is considered to be one of the most beautiful in France. The races at Pompadour are of real quality. In fact, many horses pass through this Correzian town on their way to other events in Paris or Pau. The whole racecourse site extends over some 30 hectares, with about 2 hectares of track and can accommodate up to 1500 spectators in the stand with 1050 sitting down. Parking is available at the entrance to the course, or in the parking area for the Chateau. There is a panoramic restaurant and snack bars for spectators on the top floor, with betting outlets for the Pari Mutuel Hippodrome.
