Les Rives de Vézère
French Welness
Comborn is located in the hart of the popular Vallée de la Vézère. The logis is a great starting point to explore the many beautiful sites of the Corrèze and Dordogne regions and enjoy the culture and culinary offerings. It is 10 minutes from the regional village of Objat with a year-round Sunday market, three supermarkets, medical care, shops, a water park, bars and restaurants. The house offers you the feel of French life a la campagne.
Nice climat
The Vézère valley is located on the west side the French Cetral Massif together with the Dodogne valley and other smaller valleys. All the valley's together make up for a large enough area to create a subclimate with many warm days and normal nights.
Because the location is on the river and in the valley, the climate is very pleasant. It cools down sufficiently during summer nights. In spring and autumn, it is very sheltered and cools down less quickly.
Birds & Butterflies
Enjoy the soothing sound of the many different species of birds every day.
Many species of small birds but also woodpeckers, cuckoos, falcons, sparrow hawks, owls and several buzzards. Its location in the wide valley with thermal winds makes it an ideal place for breeding and migratory birds throughout the seasons.
