Lesterps is 9 km. from the medaieval town of Confolens which stands on the River Vienne and where in the month of August there is a week long dance and music festival and there are many other local attractions. About half an hour away is the town of Limoges, famous for its pottery and in the other direction an hour and a quarter is Cognac where one can visit the distilleries and taste the brandy, of Hennessy, Remy Martin, Courvoisier, and Martell to name but a few.
