The farmhouse is in a rural location, so a car is necessary. The nearest shops are 7 km away at Jumilhac le Grand, which has a beautiful square in front of a large chateau. There are also bars and restaurants here, where you can enjoy morning coffee, lunch or dinner on the square.
The nearest main town with supermarkets etc., is Thiviers, which is approximately a ten minute drive away. St Yriex la Perche, which has a medieval centre and is slightly larger, is approximately twenty minutes in the other direction.
The nearest airport is at Limoges (called Bellegarde airport) and is 50 minutes away, but Bergerac and Brive are not too far away as alternatives.
