Royere de Vassiviere is a delightful little town which comes alive in Summer as the French and increasingly now the British flock to the lake to enjoy water sports of every type. The many beaches on the lake never feel crowded as the sheer size of the lake, 35 kms in circumference mean that one can always find a secluded spot. There is a boat which offers lake "cruises" which includes lunch and frequently an accordionist who will play for dancing.
There is a very good bar at Royere which has live bands most weekends in the summer and also a shop selling local produce. Aubuson and Fellitan 20kms from us are the traditional centres of tapestry weaving in France and guided tours of workshops and museum visits are well worth while.

The predominant activity in our area is forestry and the pine forests of the Creuse are some of the largest in France. Wild life including deer, pine martin, otter, wild pig is abundant in the forest. Exploring the wonderful unspoiled countryside which surrounds La Borderie on foot or bycycle is therefore a unique experience and not to be missed. A very popular activity now is the Arbe en Arbe treetop assault course constructed 2 years ago which is an exciting and challenging day for all the family. Local markets at Bouganeuf (wednesdays) and Royere (Tuesdays) are well worth a visit.

The climate in winter is harsh with frequent snow but Summers will normally be hot and an extended Autumns allows mushroom gatherers to reap an abundant harvest of Ceps and Chanterelles. Leave the traffic behind you and enjoy the peace calm and tranquillity of one of the most unspoilt regions in all of Europe!
