Le Puy Saint Jean is the hamlet that Patrice and Catherine chose some thirty years ago to return to farming after selling the family farm in Creuse. Here, they built a new life for themselves and their family. Now retired, they welcome their grandchildren for vacations and have chosen to bring their grandparents' house back to life. On site, they have installed a very large above-ground swimming pool (10m x 5m, salt water, water renewed every summer) which they share with the gîte guests. Set in a lovely shady garden, the pool offers a breathtaking view over the countryside. Fishing is possible in their private pond 500 m from the gîte.

We renovated the gîte at the end of 2022 with all the necessary comforts, retaining some of the original features but adapting some modern ones: air conditioning, mosquito nets on the windows, modern electric fire for the autumn/winter months. We have an ecological wood-fired jacuzzi which is included for stays of 7 nights or more, and extra for short stays, reserved exclusively for our guests. You can relax with a complimentary bottle of bubbly while gazing at the stars. For your entertainment: large garden with deckchairs, table tennis, badminton, darts and archery.

The parish church is the former church of the priory-cure depending on the abbey of Saint Augustin de Limoges. The other buildings were sold as national property during the Revolution. The modest and sober building is composed of a single nave and a flat chevet with triplet. The nave, originally framed, received a vault on ribbed crosses in the Gothic period. The bell tower covered with slate is also later. While the wall is made of a rather coarse stone, the 15th century north portal is made of a fine-grained limestone that is easy to carve. The moldings on the jambs and the lintel brace are the work of an artist from the Gothic period Registered as a Historic Monument in 1937 (north portal). The key to the church is available at the town hall in the morning and at the media library in the afternoon.

The church preserves a beautiful 17th century statue, in polychrome wood, representing Saint Roch, traditionally venerated against plague and other infectious diseases.

Brigueil-le-Chantre is located on the border of Poitou, Limousin and Berry. The church of Saint-Hilaire was built in the 12th century on a promontory overlooking the valley of the Asse. It originally depended on the diocese of Limoges and was given in 1185 to the collegiate church of Le Dorat. The cantor of this collegiate church, one of the most important persons of the college of canons, was the beneficiary of this parish. This influence gave the current name to the commune. Built in the 12th century, the Romanesque church has been reworked over the centuries. Romanesque and Gothic mural paintings, of very beautiful workmanship, were recently discovered. It was registered as a Historic Monument in 1937. A heritage desk installed at the entrance will give you information on this monument.
