Our French Connection

Some friends of ours Peter and Veronica Latus have recently moved to the beautiful area of Perigord in France and they  have just  completed a wonderful self-catering apartment. We have visited it ourselves and can highly recommend it if you fancy a peaceful holiday in rural France. Getting there is very easy, we flew from Liverpool to Limoge with Ryanair (very cheap)and it is less than an hours drive to the Studio. Ryanair also fly from other UK Airports and do a good deal on car hire.

The accomodation, known as the L'Abbaye Studio, comprises:-

• 2 double bedrooms each with 2 single beds
• 2 bathrooms - one with bath and shower, the other with a luxury shower
• One kitchen and lounge
• All rooms are on the ground floor
• Bedding and towels are provided
• Car parking and garage and service facilities for cycles
• Gardens

Owners Peter and Veronica Latus are on hand for any help or information required.
