Lucy and Simon warmly welcome you to Le Balcon Bleu. We first came to the Haute Correze in 2006, drawn by the unspoilt beauty of the area. In 2014, we went to Dubai to fulfil work contracts. We returned to this haven of peace and tranquility in 2020 and bought this property to renovate and launch as a gite, something we had dreamed of doing while in the United Arab Emirates. We have tried to plan it as somewhere we would like to stay ourselves, as keen cani-hikers, mountain bikers, motorcyclists, quad riders and generally outdoorsy people. We hope that you will find it comfortable after a day out pursuing any of these, or just after a day exploring the area or visiting family or friends.

Le Balcon Bleu is located in the tranquil village of Chavanac, in the Parc National Regional de Millevaches. It is a protected area of outstanding beauty known for its rare flora and fauna. Surrounded by miles of forestry, trails and country lanes, this is the perfect place for hiking, mountain biking, motorcycling and road cycling. You can quite simply walk out of the front door and you can start a route. The French lake district, the area has numerous lakes with beaches for sunbathing, swimming, water sports and fishing, all in close proximity to the gite. Cross country skiing routes are open in winter and we are within easy reach of Super Besse and La Bourboule. Historic villages, towns and architecture abound throughout the area and it is culturally rich with the Centre d'Art Contemporain in Meymac, the Ruines des Cars, the village of Cledat and many Roman Gallic sites. The market towns of Meymac, Eymoutiers and Bugeat are easily accessible for shopping, bars, restaurants and outdoor markets and have a range of bespoke shops. The cities of Limoges, Brive and Clermont Ferrand are within an hour's drive and offer superb retail therapy, cafes and restaurants.
