La Grenouille Verte

La Grenouille Verte La Grenouille Verte, our gite in the Limousin, France La Grenouille Verte is a comfortable house in the sleepy hamlet of Vimpere.

We have three double bedrooms, two with double beds and one with twin beds. The large kitchen/dining room is well equipped and the cosy lounge has satellite tv and radio, bookcases stuffed with books, a small selection of DVDs and some board games and jigsaw puzzles. We also have a wifi internet connection if you need to stay in touch with the outside world. In the spacious bathroom there is a ful

l sized bath with hand shower attachment and a lovely separate shower cubicle. Outside space includes a private pool with decked area for sunbathing,various shady terraces and a large garden. The front terrace has a picnic table and BBQ area. Although in the peace of the countryside, where you can sit on the terrace under the shade of the trees listening to the birds sing, we are just 40 minutes from Limoges with it's airport, historic buildings and porcelain production. All of the nearby towns have a weekly market where you can find fresh meat, fish, cheese, fruit and vegetables. The swimming lake of St Estephe, with it’s free parking, entrance and use of pedalos has walks around the lake and several eating places and is about half an hours drive away. Vimpere is in the heart of the Perigord Limousin Natural Park, with many interesting walks and beautiful lakes and the scenery is wonderful at all times of the year. If exploring is not for you and a period of peace and quiet is what you seek, then relax around the house and pool and enjoy the garden. We can also provide freshly cooked meals for you upon request.

Sad to say that the couple who had booked a 26 night stay in May/June have had to cancel because of a health issue. So, those dates are available again.

The sun is shining and the wind has dropped so on with painting the shutters! Made so much quicker with a spraygun but still a time consuming job, taking them down, preparing, undercoat and top coat then back in place. I deserve a beer!!

The kitchen is finished and undergoing it's first trial with special guests, Roger and Marilyn, Tony and Sylvia!

I haven't posted anything for a while but as usual, we have been busy during the closed months. We have started to re-vamp the kitchen, it isn't quite finished yet but we are getting there. New handmade units, new sink, new worktop, new cooker hood extractor and fresh paint on the cupboards. The one white tile is because we removed the electric socket which was too close to the sink. We are pleased with how it is looking, hope you like it too 😊

Our last guests of the season left on Sunday and have left us this lovely review! We hope they come back soon! Thank you Hans and Lenette.

"It was a great holiday in a beautiful gite with private pool. We love walking and you can do that in the area. In the cottage is a folder with many walks. What makes it really great are the owners Ruth and John. They are British and speak English and French. They live next door to you and are very helpful if you have a problem or question. From Ruth's previous profession she can cook delicious and you can order dinners from her for an attractive price. There is also a menu card. We have done this several times and it is recommended. You don't have to think about what you want to eat. You don't have to buy it and prepare it. That gives a lot of extra free time. So a real holiday. We definitely want to come back again."

It has taken us a while to get to this point, today we are preparing the house for the first guests of the year!

We have been working hard to create another comfortable area, this time in the back garden. The BBQ and picnic table have been relocated and we have fitted a gazebo. The question is, do you prefer it with or without the bunting? 🙂
