Good to know
Overview
This charming abode is arranged over three floors and features a wealth of original features, including beamed ceilings, beautiful stonework and open fires in both the living room and the kitchen. Yes, Les Figues is warm, welcoming and wonderfully appointed from top to bottom.
On the ground floor, you enter into the large kitchen/dining room. It’s a really social space with a large dining table and two armchairs in front of the fire. Pick up supplies from the village shop – it serves coffee, too. Alternatively, St. Yrieix, a fifteen minute drive away, has a well-stocked supermarché.
The living room is located next to the kitchen. With whitewashed walls and a seamless blend of modern and vintage furniture, it’s the perfect place to retreat to at the end of a busy day. Four-legged friends will love that it’s large enough to pad around before they inevitably end up snoozing in front of the wood burner.
A double bedroom with ensuite WC is also on the ground floor. It has a lovely small balcony to the side of the house, ideal for enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning before you join the rest of your group. Head up the winding stone staircase to the upper floor of Les Figues and you’ll find two further double bedrooms. They share a roomy bathroom which has both a bath and a shower.
The fourth bedroom is located on the lower ground level and is the one you want to opt for if you arrive at Les Figues ahead of the rest of your party. It has an ensuite shower room and French doors that lead out on to the patio area and the private garden beyond.
On the banks of the River L’Auvézère, the tranquil garden is filled with blossom trees and rose blooms. While the river is accessible from the garden, a fence ensures the space is secure for children and dogs.

The Area
The fairy tale-like village of Ségur le Château is a dream to amble around. With medieval and noble houses overlooked by a ruined chateau at the top of the village, it’s more than a little bit magical. The well-signposted village sentiers (pathways) offer peaceful dog walks through fields full of wildflowers and wildlife. The area is also great for cycling and horse riding.
