This was a very interesting stop at a 16th century home converted into a guest house (gite). Marie was a most gracious host who bought the home about 10 years ago, and being a pilgrim herself, converted the home into a gite. The interesting part is Marie's life, which is private, but also the home itself and some of it's history. The home is large (as can be seen in the pictures) and she has kept things in their original stated. The interesting piece is about the former owner who committed suicide. He was a lawyer who had a bit of bad luck. His law firm fired him and his wife left him with his son and the furniture from the home. Having little income he could not support his two mistresses. Apparently one of his mistresses is still alive living in Limogne. I thought I would see spirits of the man, but no such luck.
