Les Ages: the area: about Limousin

Les Ages is an ideal Limousin holiday destination, with something for everyone within easy reach.

For those in search of peace and quiet and needing to unwind from the stresses of everyday life, this is the place. It is perfect for rambling, riding, golfing, fishing and canoeing. The clear air and natural beauty makes it a popular place with artists and it is a photographer's dream.

You will find an abundance of bird life and interesting insect life, with some beautiful butterflies, including the swallowtail. The animal life is rich and varied, as you would expect from such a pastoral area, and deer are often spotted in the surrounded meadows.

France has a reputation for gastronomy and in the Limousin they've had it right for a long time! Flocks of sheep (the renowned Agneau Baronet), herds of Limousin beef (still eaten confidently due to its natural raising outdoors), milk-fed veal, free-range corn-fed poultry, fresh fish, forests of chestnuts where ceps, chanterelles and other wild mushrooms flourish, fruit trees in abundance and vegetables as fresh as they come - all to be found locally, used by chefs in our restaurants and sold at local markets and supermarkets, so even if you wish to cater for yourself you can't fail to enjoy the quality.
