Creuse Department

Close your eyes and imagine your heaven, where you would live if you had the choice, where someone asks how you are (and really wants to know), where gifts are given with no expectation of a return, where there are big skies, gentle landscapes, gurgling rivers, placid lakes, a hundred hues of green, whatever your imagination conjures up you will find it all in La Creuse.

Occupying about one third of the Limousin region, Creuse takes its name from the river that runs through its rolling hills and wooded landscapes, with so many rich and varied colours that even the cows are a glorious orangey-brown.

In La Creuse you live among wonderfully generous and warm-hearted people who are so welcoming that you can sometimes feel overwhelmed with their kindness. Gifts of vegetables, home-reared meats, and flowers from the garden are commonplace, people are genuinely happy to see you and always make a special effort to ensure that you feel at home.

Creuse Property

Properties range from rural Çreuseoise farmhouses built of stone, to grand ‘Manoirs’ in town, all with that special French character and full of interesting features giving rise to many exiting possibilities.

Barns for conversion are often available, and usually properties will come with a sizable plot of land. If you are a DIY fan you will be in heaven!

With a low population density, the roads are practically empty so that the only hold-ups are the occasional tractor, or cows being herded to the next field, but who’s in a hurry anyway?
