Road Directions to Under The Lime Tree
Poitiers, Limoges or Angouleme should be your first destinations to head for. Under The Lime Tree is on the D739, which runs between Mansle and Saint Claud, both in department 16. If coming from Mansle (approx. 20kms), take the first right turn into LASCOUX, the first village after Cellefrouin.
If coming from Saint Claud (approx. 3kms), go through Chalais and take the first fork left into LASCOUX.
At Lascoux, which is really a small hamlet with a few houses, follow the road down through the village heading towards the river. Go over the bridge at 'Le Lavoir'.
After the bridge and right hand bend, take the first left up the hill signposted Le Lac and FONTFAIX LE HAUT.
At the top, rather than follow the road to the right, go straight on, keeping all the renovated stone buildings, the mail box and the UTLT sign on your left. This is effectively a right of way.
At the end of the building, follow the road round to the left and into our car park. Et voila! Bienvenue chez nous!
