Aubusson

Limousin

Stunningly green and beautiful, the Limousin is cattle country and made up of three departments, the Correze, the Creuse and Haute Vienne. This area, to the west of the Massif Central, offers some of the best year round grazing making it a magnet for equestrians.  Rolling hills, woodlands and a low population density combine for a most rural lifestyle. Yet with both Limoges and Poitiers airports close at hand this is a superbly accessible area.

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Stuart and Lucy Binns

    As most people know, buying or selling a property is always complicated, especially if the process takes place across two countries.We recently sold our second home in Southwest France during a time when the market was not particularly vibrant. It was a difficult experience as it was a property we were very fond of.The whole process was handled by Judith Whitlow, who took care of the sale and of us with great aplomb.Not only was the process an emotionally demanding one, it was also subject to huge complexities – legal, technical, financial, and procedural.Judith’s fluency in French and English was vital, but her knowledge of all the myriad details, from the workings of fosse septiques to the nuances of tax law (in both countries) made a dangerous administrative minefield much easier to negotiate.In short, she guided us along the entire journey with great professionalism and personal empathy.We couldn’t recommend her, or Beaux Villages, more highly.
