Restaurant ‘Les Trois Petits Cochons’ near Aubeterre…

for Golf and Tennis at Aubeterre

Golf d’Aubeterre

Nestled in a beautiful valley on the Charente / Dordogne border and set within the ground of the Longeveau estate, our 9 hole, par 64 (2x32) golf course offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities.

The greens and tees are fully irrigated and there are plenty of bunkers and other obstacles that come into play.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our course and have a fleet of modern machinery to the keep the course in top condition.

An enthusiastic and multinational club runs throughout the year, with regular tournaments and social events to which our residents and visitors are often welcome.

Daily, weekly and annual rates are available with discounted green fees for residents staying at Longeveau.

Equipment hire, supplies and tuition are available from the bar-clubhouse. The new bar offers great food and drink all year round, with superb views overlooking the course and coupled with a great atmosphere.

 

Tennis at Longeveau

Le Manoir de Longeveau provides the perfect setting for a game of tennis. We have three all-weather tennis courts, two of them floodlit, attractively landscaped into the sloping ground below the bar-clubhouse. The courts are open throughout the year and the tennis can be as serious or relaxed as you wish.

We also have a compact tennis court at Longeveau, located in the sports barn, off the courtyard. This is great for children and good fun for the grown ups. It also serves as a welcome retreat from the heat of the midday sun, or likewise, the occasional thunderstorm!

We do not generally operate a booking system at Longeveau, though occasionally one or more courts are reserved at times for coaching or tournaments etc. Please check the notice boards. Otherwise, they are available for play as you wish.

Racquets and balls are available for those who do not have their own equipment. A small supply of new balls and grips are usually available for sale in the bar.

Social events and tournaments run regularly throughout the year and seasonally, ensuring plenty of fun, new friends and playing partners. Coaching is available from a local English speaking CCA qualified tennis coach.

We often have tennis groups staying at Longeveau. Groups of all sizes and abilities are welcome with special packages to suit your requirements. Dedicated court time and /or local courts can be arranged.

A cycling blog

Steve is a veteran racing cyclist currently living and racing in France. Cycling is his life, it shapes just about everything he does, and when people ask him what he does, he normally says that "I am a cyclist". He has some racing success over the years, but that’s not because he is a talented athlete. In fact when he was tested at college while studying sports physiology he was told that he would never amount to much as a sportsman.

Just an ordinary bloke, who works hard on his bike. He writes in the hope that he might inspire others to become cyclists. There really is nothing else that compares for Steve.

CLUB D'ENTRAINEMENT DES LEVRIERS CHARENTAIS

Dog Racing


 

Do you own a dog in the SIGHT HOUND group, for example Greyhound, Whippet, Afghan,Saluki etc., if so why not come and see what this club could offer you and your pet.

The dogs race on an open field course and/or on a circuit, at club level, no gambling, drugs, mistreatment or other nasties, it is just for fun. All the dogs are pets and thoroughly enjoy the day out. If you wish to take it further there are competitions but even at these the most you will win is a bottle of wine or a cup, NO MONEY.

The club has members from England, France, Ireland & Switzerland so its a good place to practice or perfect your French, the dogs though all seem to speak the same language.

Old dogs are never “ got rid of “ but just retire and stay with their owners and come to the club meetings for a day out with old friends.

If you would like more information or would like to come to a club day to see what goes on then please contact:

Walking

 

If you are interested in improving your fitness and health please read on.

 

Weekly Walking Together Group

 

A weekly walking group is being organized by Glyn Thomas of Chateauponsac.  We meet at 1100 am, every Monday, at various locations in the area and the walks are “guided” by one of the volunteers in rotation.  If any of you would be interested in receiving a weekly announcement from Glyn please let him know by calling him directly

 

at 05 55 76 69 31 or by e-mail:  [email protected] 

 

 There is no commitment and no fees - just come along when you feel up to it. 

 

Walking is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can ease you into a higher level of fitness and health. Walking is one of your body's most natural forms of exercise. It's safe, simple, doesn't require practice, and the health benefits are many. Here's more about why walking is good for you, and how to get started with a walking program.

Benefits of walking:

Walking, like other exercise, can help you achieve a number of important health benefits. Walking can help you:

• Lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol)
• Raise high-density cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol)
• Lower your blood pressure
• Reduce your risk of or manage type 2 diabetes
• Manage your weight
• Improve your mood
• Stay strong and fit

If anyone recognizes that any of the above applies, I invite you to contact me at 05 55 76 69 31, then propose to arrange a meeting at my home with interested parties to discuss - how to accommodate the needs and aspirations of members.

To start with, I suggest it would be wise to aim at those less able and then gradually build to a higher level of ability. I enjoy walking but not on my own and on discussing the subject with others it seems to be a common reason for excusing oneself from physical activity.

Cadanses Folk - Traditional French Music and Dance

Lessons every two weeks, dances throughout the year - come and join! . . . .

 

What is traditional French folk music and dance?

 

Many of you will have seen the nice ladies and gentlemen at the Fetes in their flowery dresses and waistcoats performing a colourful display - but this is very much a historical reenactment of folk dancing at the beginning of the last century.

 

What we do is very much more up to date - and fancy dress is not required!


The membership fees for Cadanse Folk are as follows:

  • Adult = 40 Euros per year

  • Couples = 60 Euros per year

The membership fee covers the hire of the hall, expenses for bands and dance teachers and subsidises the various events which are organised throughout the year - good value!

 

Salles de Fetes in Flavignac, from 8.30 to 10.30pm.

 

If you want to find out more, contact Greg or Cara on 05 55 78 54 20
