Amenities
Area activities
The pretty medieval town of Bourganeuf was founded by the Knights Templar in the 12th Century. The town is located in the Creuse department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The town features picturesque streets and a lovely main square, which the apartment overlooks. The town has a population of around 2,500 people and comes with a good range of shops and services, including an Aldi supermarket, several bakeries, a butcher, a couple of restaurants and a popular cafe-bar. In the heart of the town, the round medieval tower, Tour de Zimzim, was built in the 15th Century to house the exiled son of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Since this time, the tower has been used as a prison, most notably during World War II.
The Creuse department has a population of just 115,000 people, making it the second least populated area of France. The capital of the department is the town of Guéret, which has a population of just 12,955 people. So this is very much a quiet, rural backwater of France, where the focus is on agriculture, gastronomy and the unspoilt natural landscape. The countryside features lush green hills, forests, lakes and limestone plateaux. The Creuse has been successful in developing itself as a Green tourism destination since the late 1990s. The travel website www.Routard.com voted the Creuse among the 10 most zen destinations in France - defined as "natural environments conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation".
The Creuse enjoys a temperate climate with relatively warm & sunny summers (but not as hot as other parts of South France); mild springs and autumns; and cold, but sunny winters. The department is also regarded as having some of the cheapest property in the whole of France and has over recent years attracted an increasing number of house-buyers from Holland, Germany, Belgium and the UK.
