Calm but connected

A few minutes’ drive away is Marsac, a larger village with a train station, mini-market, hairdresser’s, baker’s, chemist, bar, two restaurants and an outdoor pool. Within half an hour’s drive are the larger towns of Souterraine (famous for its medieval tower), the Creuse capital Guéret and Bourganeuf, beyond which is Lac de Vassivière, a large reservoir with beaches, safe swimming areas, watersports, free taxi boat and bar-restaurants. Limoges airport is less than an hour away. “People come to Creuse to get away from it all,” says Helen Reeve, who runs the Chez Helen chambres-d’hôtes not far from Marsac. “It’s a tranquil, calm, rural place where you can enjoy the birdsong. The winters are long and cold but once spring arrives it’s lovely and warm. It’s just a great place.”
