Lovely family house a short walk away from village La Jonchère St. Maurice
With 9 adults (4 couples, 1 single) and 2 children (aged 3 and 1) we spent our annual family vacation at la Domaine du Vignau for 10 days in June 2019. We had a great time there and are certainly considering returning here next year.
The house is just lovely, full of 19th century details. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, as depicted on the website.
The kitchen is luxuriously equipped with 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers and ovens – we cooked family dinners there every night. We also enjoyed having dinner at the large table in the courtyard, with a spectacular view on the village and countryside. Enough plates, glasses and other kitchen basics are present. For those who enjoy to cook as much (and elaborately) as we do, I would advise to bring your own (sharp) kitchen knives/casserole/scale etc.
One of the other aspects we particularly loved is the easy access through an old driveway to the nearby village La Jonchère: boulangerie (closed on Mondays), tabac, café, small shop, boucherie and fish seller (on Thursday mornings). The visit to the local playground behind the church was a nice daily excursion for our daughters. For the more extensive grocery shopping we drove to the local Super U and Lidl in Ambazac (10 mins).
There are some nice hiking/running routes to the nearby Arboretum and around the lake in the village La Jonchère. One of us also brought his own fishing supply and joined the local fishermen at the lake, permit can be bought at the Tabac. We’ve also taken advantage of the possibility of visiting the local tennis court near the lake at 500 meters or so (basic, but sufficient – preferably bring own rackets and balls).
Limoges is a 30 mins drive away and there’s enough parking facility in the centre. The Musée National Adrien Dubouche is certainly worth a visit. We would also recommend visiting Oradour-sur-Glane, 45 mins drive away.
Gaelle was our contact in the area and she responded quickly and discretely to all our questions.
