Hello Chrissy welcome to Around Montmorillon. 
I agree with Admiral L'Isle Jourdain is a good choice, big enough to give you the basics without being too big. Also handy for the airports at Poitiers and Limoges.
Like others said, just ask away. We are a small group but you will find a friendly bunch.
Biggest tip I could give is: Be Very Very Careful who you employ to do any work for you. Shop around and ask for recommendations, and make sure you get a couple of Devis (quotes). Unfortunately there have been a few horror stories from "so called builders" from the UK not knowing what they are doing and causing a lot of heartache.
I'm not saying they are all dodgy. Far from it there are some very good tradesmen from the UK that live here full time and they have built up a good reputation, it's just the odd few that cause the problems. So be careful.
Regards.
Fred.
