General Information 

La Maison du Patchwork, is in Châteauponsac a large village situated approximately 46kms north of Limoges in the Limousin, the ‘land of a 1,000 lakes’ and possibly one of the best kept secrets in France - a straightforward drive on the autoroutes and very easy by train. The widely acclaimed Museum of ‘Arts et Traditions’ is just near the Workshop and house. There is kayaking, riding, swimming, mini-golf and fishing nearby besides plenty of pretty walks. The house is in a high sunny position on the original ramparts of the town, overlooking the Vallée de la Gartempe and its Roman Bridge. Parts of the church are XIth Century. If you come by car, Limoges, also, has a great deal to offer. Apart from it’s famous porcelain, there is a beautiful cathedral, with pretty gardens and interesting museums nearby. Oradour-sur-Glane, the ‘Village of the Martyrs’ is also worth a visit.
