Now that does sound mouth-watering - Fete de la Framboise at Conceze (19 Correze, Limousin). in the quiet countryside north of Perigueux and Brive in what is known as the "Pays de Pompadour" - a rich fruit-growing area also famous for its horse racing.
We stayed in the region several years ago, and enjoyed its quiet gentle tranquility, The area is the setting for the novels of Claude Michelet Firelight and Woodsmoke
The area is promoted as being a natural paradise - quiet and peaceful with few large cities and a rich tapestry of unspoiled countryisde, hills, forests, lakes and river valleys - ideal for walking and cycling - and it is one of those areas you can get quite lost in - and realise how big France is.
