Description of holiday b&b in St Yrieix la Perche, Limousin

In a beautiful secluded part of the Haute Vienne, close to the department of Dordogne and Correze. We are conveniently placed for discovering this unspoilt region.

Laplaud is a small working farm where we rear the famous limousin cattle in a traditional way. Cows with calves can be seen to suckle their mothers in the gently sloping fields. The farm has its own woodland and small river and the abundant wildlife is easily observed. Exchange the noise and bustle of everyday life for the peace and tranquil setting of beautiful rural France.

A warm welcome awaits you on our small 50 acre farm. As well as the limousin cows and calves we have a few chickens. We also have a large garden where fruit and vegetables are grown and used to create good quality delicious evening meals which are available on request.
