area
✧ delightful little medieval town of Uzerche (barely 3,000 people) with ancient buildings on a hillock around which the river bends, and two old stone railway bridges cross each other, riverfront parkland and a long wooded valley
✦ strolls from 10mins into town, then either 1h as a loop along the river, or down the river valley which then offers 1h walks up or down
✦ 1h bike to 2 villages with lakes, up to 4h though involving quite a few section of lanes and limited variations, with option of one way by train
✦ the landscape is unadventurous, however the next train stop offers some wooded hills
✦ tennis, kayak (world championships held nearby), SUP and raft
✦ lots of horse riding, and the next little town has a famous hippodrome
✦ 45min bike on greenway to swimming lake and next town
tiny organic shop, several supermarkets including organic, brewery and weekly market; good restos, cafe and pub
✦ "graffiterie" in the old paper factory entirely dedicated to streetart
✦ riverside guinguette summer and xmas
climate is a bit drab, and not at all pleasant Jan-Feb thus would be closed (except possibly teams) making the remaining months acceptable; 3/4 week Christmas-NYE special programme; Low: Nov,Mar would be low season; Shoulder: Apri,May,Oct shoulder, High: June,Jul,Aug,Sep
the station is a bit of a walk thus popping to any of the other towns adds significant time unless with electric scooters in which case no prob
✦ the small city of Limoges is 40mins train (last 10pm for going out!); airport year-round to Marrakesh, Stansted, Manchester, Midlands; Toulouse/Bordeaux 3h30 changing; Barcelona connection is laborious
✦ also nice town of Brive 30mins train (last 8pm); airport year-round to Porto and Stansted (35mins drive)
✦ less interesting town of Tulle 35mins bus (last 8:40!)
✦ daytrips:
✧ Cahors (2h direct train; or 1h30 drive)
✧ driving to Rocamadour, Perigeux (1h)
access is pretty good with last departure from Paris 6:30pm(!) and €35, earliest arrival at 9:30am (dep. 5:15am)
✦ from Toulouse last train 5pm in 3h30 with a change
✦ no adequate connections from Barcelona
