Location Spontour is a picturesque village in the valley of the Dordogne with
a history of building boats called "Gabares", which were extensively
used to transport goods and timber to Bordeaux during the time the
Dordogne was still a river. Nowadays the same vessels serve tourists a
purpose for trips on the lake. Lac du Chastang is a 700 hectare part of
the historic Dordogne, and closed in by 2 enormous dams: Barrage d'Aigle
and Barrage du Chastang. The lake offers all the pleasures of sandy
beaches, lovely water temperature and there is a small rowing boat
moored in front of the house for the guests of Le Clos.
Spontour has a tennis court and a boules area. The surroundings of
Spontour, with altitudes of 300 to 650 meters is an ideal area for long
walks, mountain biking, bird watching and generally a relaxed life style
with long summer nights. Golf courses are in Mauriac (17km) Aubazine,
west of Tulle. 45 km downstream you can canoe-kayak in Argentat in the
running waters of the Dordogne. From the back of the garden leads a
ancient foot path to the village which can be the start point of many
long walks. The ski slopes of the Massif Central are only within one
hours drive away (till 1850 m).
