Means of access Our house is in the Bourg (the historic centre) of the village of Murat Le Quaire (1000m) just over 10 minutes drive (and it's a very pleasant drive) from the ski resort of Le Mont Dore.
Murat Le Quaire is just 10 minutes drive from the recently completed A89 autoroute. This makes our house a very easy drive from Calais (around 7 1/2 hours) or Le Havre (under 6 hours). Alternatively you can fly Ryanair or Flybe to Limoges and hire a car (2 hours drive) or get the train from London to Clermont Ferrand (via Paris) and hire a car in Clermont (less than one hour drive from the house).
Hints and Tips Restaurants: The local restaurant, Le Relais de la Toinette, just 50 metres from the house is excellent & great value for money. The other must visit restaurant is the Auberge du Vergne Noir. It's a 10 minute walk from the house along a footpath - sometimes through the snow. La Bourboule (2 km away) has around 20 restaurants, bars & even a casino.
Sledging, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and dog-sledding are all available in Murat le Quaire. Nearby Le Mont Dore also offers ice-skating & ten pin bowling.
For the summer there is a plan d'Eau swimming and fishing lake 1km from the house + three large lakes nearby. The walking, mountain biking & road cycling in the area are all superb. There is also a golf course & a brilliant high ropes course in Le Mont Dore. La Bourboule, the summer & winter resort just 2km from our house has a large park with amazing playgrounds, crazy golf, train rides etc for children.
