Hi all -

 

An appeal from one of our readers last week brought a brilliant response, thank you to all and estimates are now being acquired.

Looking for a

French or English fosse installer

 located in the North Dordogne or south Haute Vienne

 

As from end of this month the change over day for Sponsors and Top Border links etc will be the last Friday of the month, so tomorrow night will see our web sites change over.

 

Also look out for our new logos on all three web sites tomorrow which have been designed and supplied by Steve@cps24.fr and we are very pleased with them but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see them. More info on Steve next week.

 

We along with many more of you are always subject to "spam" emails - offering to buy items for more than their worth etc like this one

 

Thanks for your swift respond.
I was so impressed to find the specific item I've been searching for almost a week now,Despite the fact I'm buying it for my (son) i was very glad when i saw it on the website.your best price of 1,600 Euros is OK by me.Please kindly remove the advert and consider its been sold to me,Ignore other buyers from this onset,I will compensate you an extra 100 Euros for that because i cant afford to let it go and for you to hold it for me.
 
Provide me this below details accordingly for your payment to be made out from my partner first thing on Monday morning.
 
(1)Cheque payable to:
(2)Home Address:
(3)City
(4)State:
(5)Post code:
(6)Telephone number/mobile phone:
 
You should be expecting a cheque of 4,200 Euros which include the shipping fee to cover the shipping expenses on me because i still
have other goods they will pick up for me around the state including  yours so the money is not made for your goods only part of it is fortheir workmanship.
 
 
Just assure me that my excess fund is in a safe hand at your care, Perhaps my partner couldn't issue out a separate cheque's on a single transaction like this due to his company policy if not you would have have a cheque of the equivalent amount which is your asking price, But due to the unforeseen circumstance made it happen this way.But i believe i can always count on you with my excess cash.

As soon as the cheque clears in your bank deduct your cost of charges including the 100 euro i offer you,
then kindly send the rest  to my freight agent who's coming to your comfort home for the pickup in cash on my behalf.
I hope I can trust you with the difference.
 
You can always email me.once again don't forget to remove  if my term of payment is accepted by you before we proceed further.
Hope to read from you soon.
My Regards.

 

We can only suggest that when you wish to advertise items for sale with us or any other web site you place a phone number and not your email address if you do not wish to handle such enquiries. Most of ours end up in our junk email folder now.

STOP PRESS

 Would you like some low energy light bulbs?

 

The Mairie of Beyssenac has acquired a substantial number of 11W low energy light bulbs manufactured by Phillips and GE, in both bayonet and screw fittings. These have been given to many households in Beyssenac as a part of the village commitment to reducing energy consumption. Each stick form bulb is the equivalent of a traditional 60W bulb and carries a 10 year guarantee.

 

There are a number of bulbs that are surplus to the village requirements and are now available for purchase by others. Each bulb is priced at 1€ and this is well below the price that you would have to pay in a French store. The proceeds will go to the Beyssenac church interior restoration fund.

 

If you are interested in a purchase could you contact us by e-mail stating how many and of which type? You will then be able to collect them at the Beyssenac Mairie afternoons only Mon-Fri 13.30-17.30hrs. or from us.

 

Please ask your friends as well.

France on Line web sites Activity Breaks - Golf and Tennis

 

Restaurant ‘Les Trois Petits Cochons’ near Aubeterre…

 

for Golf and Tennis at Aubeterre

Golf d’Aubeterre

Nestled in a beautiful valley on the Charente / Dordogne border and set within the ground of the Longeveau estate, our 9 hole, par 64 (2x32) golf course offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities.

The greens and tees are fully irrigated and there are plenty of bunkers and other obstacles that come into play.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our course and have a fleet of modern machinery to the keep the course in top condition.

An enthusiastic and multinational club runs throughout the year, with regular tournaments and social events to which our residents and visitors are often welcome.

Daily, weekly and annual rates are available with discounted green fees for residents staying at Longeveau.

Equipment hire, supplies and tuition are available from the bar-clubhouse. The new bar offers great food and drink all year round, with superb views overlooking the course and coupled with a great atmosphere.

 

Tennis at Longeveau

Le Manoir de Longeveau provides the perfect setting for a game of tennis. We have three all-weather tennis courts, two of them floodlit, attractively landscaped into the sloping ground below the bar-clubhouse. The courts are open throughout the year and the tennis can be as serious or relaxed as you wish.

We also have a compact tennis court at Longeveau, located in the sports barn, off the courtyard. This is great for children and good fun for the grown ups. It also serves as a welcome retreat from the heat of the midday sun, or likewise, the occasional thunderstorm!

We do not generally operate a booking system at Longeveau, though occasionally one or more courts are reserved at times for coaching or tournaments etc. Please check the notice boards. Otherwise, they are available for play as you wish.

Racquets and balls are available for those who do not have their own equipment. A small supply of new balls and grips are usually available for sale in the bar.

Social events and tournaments run regularly throughout the year and seasonally, ensuring plenty of fun, new friends and playing partners. Coaching is available from a local English speaking CCA qualified tennis coach.

We often have tennis groups staying at Longeveau. Groups of all sizes and abilities are welcome with special packages to suit your requirements. Dedicated court time and /or local courts can be arranged.

 

Accommodation

 

Longeveau offers a range of attractive self-catering accommodation in 21 thoughtfully renovated stone cottages. All of the properties are located around the estate or a few minutes stroll up the hill at Puygironde and all benefit from the superb facilities and services offered at Longeveau.

Many of the cottages are former farm buildings and feature the original beams, exposed stonework and timber or clay tile floors. The properties all come well equipped with plenty of hot water and all of your kitchen and tableware requirements. Some have dishwashers and washing machines, but alternatively we have laundry facilities on site. All units have sitting out areas equipped with garden furniture and BBQs. Many also feature central heating for the cooler evenings, from autumn to spring.

Additional beds can be provided for increased accommodation, or twin and double combinations can be altered if necessary. Fresh linen and towels can be supplied during your stay, whilst cots, high chairs and stair-gates are available for our younger visitors.

Our cottages range in ease of access, including L’Emillienne which has been purpose designed for impaired mobility. Please enquire for further details.

GENERAL INFO

 

Restaurant ‘Les Trois Petits Cochons’ near Aubeterre…

 

Hidden away in the Charantaise countryside, somewhere between Aubeterre-sur-Dronne and Montmoreau, is an exciting new restaurant, ‘Les Trois Petits Cochons’ (otherwise translated as the 3 little pigs!).

The restaurant is located at the popular Manoir de Longeveau holiday village, also known locally for its golf course ‘Golf d’Aubeterre’.

 

The restaurant offers good food at good value. Lunch times are laid back, with a selection of homemade specialties, from burgers to salads; from vegetarian to all day breakfasts.

Emphasis is very much on quality rather than quantity.

 

Evening meals offer a slightly more sophisticated approach, with a delightful twist on some of your favorite international dishes.

 

The adjoining bar at Longeveau, with open views out across the valley, is the perfect place to relax with an after-meal drink.

 

Children will appreciate the play area or the freedom to run free. While toddlers can play happily in the fenced area while Mum & Dad enjoy a relaxing drink or bite to eat. (It’s also worth noting they have baby changing facilities!).

 

Longeveau itself is open to everyone, offering regular music evenings throughout the summer and a ‘Vintage Car Day’ on the second Sunday of every month.

 

Plus there’s live coverage of all the rugby, football, tennis and golf etc… including that tournament this summer!!

Claude Bourbon

Born in France in the early 60’s, Claude Bourbon grew up in Switzerland, where he was classically trained for many years. This finger picking guitarist has performed and studied all over the world; he has crafted an unbelievable fusion of classical and jazz, with ethereal Eastern influences, Spanish and Latin elements with strains of Western folk.

The unique Monsieur Bourbon is a formidable performer. He may have his roots in the blues, but he is inspired by music and song from all around the world, taking these sounds and weaving them into a performance of blues, rock, jazz, songs and melodies that defy a label, all delivered with a gravely voice.

Claude’s inimitable style incorporates all five digits on each hand dancing independently but in unison, plucking, picking and strumming at such speed and precision that his fingers often seem to melt into a blur. Thousands of people in the UK, Europe and USA have enjoyed listening to this virtuoso and for the majority of his audience it is an experience that compels them to return again and again to hear and watch him play, as his fingers lightly dance over the strings of his guitar and create a unique sound that is ’Claude’.

Starting to play guitar at the age of 15, it was the strains of an instrumental version of ‘House of the Rising Sun’ seeping from a neighbour’s garage that ignited the fire in Claude’s soul. He then studied classical guitar for a period, but soon realised that his feeling was more for improvisation than written music, “…as the music is a tool to express yourself…”.

Now based in the UK, some of this guitarists’ influences allow us a fascinating insight into this remarkable musician; Paco De Lucia: Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore; Joaquin Rodrigo; JJ Cale, Monty Python; JS Bach and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks…. One reviewer even noted that although “Claude’s roots were in blues, that is like saying Leonardo da Vinci was a painter”. Intrigued?

Claude has played countless venues, performing with several top international musicians including sax player STEVE GROSSMAN (Miles Davis band) and drummer CHARLIE MORGAN (Elton John, Gary
Moore)
