Welcome to Ségur le Château and Kim's art
Here you can discover more about this beautiful and picturesque area of France. The Limousin comprises the departments of Correze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne. Largely agricultural but with the major exception of being the home of porcelain.
If you like bright lights and discotheques then this is not the place for you. If, however, you crave beautiful scenery, history, unspoilt villages, gastronomy including duck, foie gras, apples, chestnuts, to name but a few, then look no further. This is la France profonde. In bucketloads.
This medieval village is just one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France" in the area. Thankfully not spoilt by becoming a tourism honey pot it remains largely as it has for decades. Vibrant during July and August thanks to the local tourist committee, but peaceful and calm for the other 10 months of the year. I hope you will enjoy a visit to the village whatever time of year you come.
You can also get a taste of Kim's wonderful artistic talent. Her favourite medium is watercolour but oils, acrylics, pastels and pen and ink often feature in her work. You can come and see her work in our gallery during the summer.
Information on the gallery, commissions, lessons and painting holidays are here to tempt you. If you have any questions about the village, the area or Kim's art feel free to contact us by e-mail using the address - contact@segur-prior.eu - in your system.
The village can now be seen on Google Street View - just go to Google Maps site and in Street View put: 19230 Segur le Chateau as the destination.
Our house purchase and experiences in France have been superb but it is not always like that. Sometimes an archaic and unjust system can be a nightmare. Despite doing everything "right" Chrissie and her family have had almost unimagineable problems. She has a blog about their story. You can't help but please read it and spread the story so more and more people know it. First read the About us on their site and then read the blog itself Hobos.
