SPECIAL OVERNIGHT STAYS AT DOMAINE DE GARE BLOND

Are you ready for peace and quiet in the beautiful French nature? Or are you looking for a holiday full of adventure? At Domaine de Gare Blond you can do both.
This is the place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and completely unwind in the French countryside.

In addition to our familiar station 'Gare Blond Berneuil', we will now rent out 2 other gîtes, 'Buvette de la Gare' and 'Roulotte de la Gare', a gypsy caravan (Pipo-wagon) with sleeping car.

You can find further information and photos on our (*CONTENT HIDDEN*).

SLEEPING IN A REAL STATION

In the middle of the green hills of the Limousin lies the charming, former station 'Gare Blond Berneuil'. Here you can enjoy silence, space and breathtaking starry nights – you can still see the Milky Way with the naked eye.

This authentic French station has been transformed into an attractive and comfortable holiday home for 2 to 8 people. The house is fully equipped, such as: a large private swimming pool, WIFI, television and several wood stoves for extra ambiance.

The characteristic details – the old ticket office, the suitcase counter, the high ceilings and the original staircase – have been beautifully preserved. In combination with modern comfort, this makes for a unique holiday experience. Because let's face it: how many times can you say that you have stayed in a real station?

And although the house is very spacious, it also feels cozy and intimate with the two of us.
Especially in the early and late season, it is also attractively priced

We have been living in the beautiful, green hills of the Limousin for over 20 years – simply because it is fantastic to live here.

With great care and love, we have transformed our former holiday home, Gare Blond-Berneuil, into an attractive, rustic gîte with a spacious private swimming pool.
We ourselves live a little further down the road in a charming farmhouse: at a sufficient distance to guarantee our guests complete peace and privacy, but always close by when desired.

Greetings Wendy and Hans

The area is hilly (max 550 m) and forest and meadow rich, with many rivers. The natural beauty and soothing tranquility style, this area lends itself perfectly for beautiful hiking and cycling on the many picturesque small D roads and paths. In the vicinity are some hunen beds (dolmen). But the whole area still has a long history of: tranquil villages, Romanesque churches, castles (Richard Lionheart), etc.
The Limousin region is suitable not only for sports activities outdoors. But often the ancient history of the region you come from everywhere hunen beds (really just around the corner) to thousand year old Romanesque churches, abbeys, medieval castles to contemporary music and theater festivals or one of the many markets. Short enough to do. For further tourist information office in Bellac or email / call us
WALKING WEEKS

The fairytale hills of the Haute Vienne is ideal for beautiful walks.
A number of routes in the Monts de Blond are already made, but we can also make our own routes together near the station. The tours range from 6 to 24 km.
The walks will pass through ancient villages, landscapes with lakes and forests. You can still enjoy the silence and nature.
During the week at least 5 walking trips will be made. Depending on the pace and breaks a walk will take 3 to 6 hours. For some trips, we will have a drop off and/or a pick-up.

If you participate the whole course it's up to you. Of course you are free to do something else or doing nothing. Non-walking partners and friends are therefore welcome.

Directions and detailed maps are available. Both spring, summer, autumn and winter have their own appeal. Therefore, there are walking tours throughout the year except the months of July and August.

Prices per person :2-room € 350, - pp.1-room € 400, - pp.
There is a shared bathroom and separate toilets.
Included in the price is breakfast and dinner with wine and coffee / tea.
Packed lunches can be ordered a day in advance € 10 pp.
The beautiful scenery in the Haute Vienne, one of France's most sparsely populated areas, inviting everyone especially to be active outdoors. Not only in summer, but actually throughout the four seasons.
Here you can still walk quietly and cycle fantasticly.
Fishing, other water sports and of course golf, you can practise. In direct vicinity there is a very pleasant 9 holes golf course.
With family and friends to spend the holidays together is of course a feast in itself. Especially if this is done in a unique location.
The former station La Gare Blond berneuil "in the Limousin is a unique place and the holidays will certainly add an extra dimension.

The house still breathes the atmosphere of yesteryear with many original details still recall the station past, but also plenty of modern luxuries you desire.
Cozy around the fireplace in the living room, cook in the spacious kitchen, dining at the big table with chandelier, a walk in the quiet area, visits to Christmas markets etc.
So ... relax, no hectic, just enjoy.

Experience it yourself at 'La Gare' and how many people can now actually say they have celebrated Christmas in a real station?

Everything still breathes the atmosphere of years gone by in this authentic rural station. Many details are still present, such as the ticket office and the suitcase counter. Furthermore, the spacious, high rooms with paneling and the staircase are very characteristic of this stylish building.

A good mix of nostalgia and contemporary luxury provides a unique, special and pleasant holiday experience.

Relax and experience the ultimate French feeling on the terrace under a pergola, completely covered with grapes with a view of the sheep, drink a glass of wine or take a refreshing dip in the pool. And wave to the passing engineer. He will often greet you back with a horn signal.
And let's be honest, how many people can actually say that they have slept in a real station?

Despite the size of the building, it is also very intimate and cozy for just the two of you.
So don't let this put you off. You certainly can't go wrong with the price in the early and late season! To make renting our station financially attractive for a smaller number of people than the maximum number of 8, we charge different rates for non-holiday periods based on the number of people.
