After taking in the culture and gastronomy of Bordeaux and Limoges, one of the highlights of our visit to South West France was a short stay in the remarkable heritage site of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat.

Here, we had arranged a 4-night stay in Chateau Maleplane on the outskirts of the town.

Away from the center of town, you can find a large Carrefour with a huge range of food and drink (and some really good deals on local wines).
