This website is specially designed to give
helpful advice to English speaking visitors thinking of holidaying
or buying property in Central France, and, in particular, here in
the beautiful area of Creuse, one of three departments of the
Limousin.
The Creuse is 5,565 km2 with a population of
approximately 130,000 making it one of the least populated of all
the departments in France. Lying between Paris and Toulouse, West of
the Massif Central, with an average altitude of 300m, the main town
is Guéret with 15000 inhabitants. Aubusson is the sub prefecture
with around 5000 inhabitants.
Not so many years ago only the French themselves
knew of the existence of the area, others merely passing through en
route to the South and to Spain. Time has stood still in Creuse so
if you are looking for peace and quiet, together with unspoilt
countryside, wonderful wildlife, superb scenery, with rolling
mountains and deep rivers and lakes full of fish, then you need look
no further.
The following pages will hopefully give you an
insight into the area and open your eyes to the hidden treasures of
La Creuse. Below you will see a map of the area and the main towns,
which will be explored in fuller detail along with hotels and
restaurants in the area under “ Towns of the Department”. I have
also included other items such as public holidays, market days and
property for sale.
I hope you enjoy this website as much as I have
enjoyed writing about the area that I am now very happy to call
"home". |
