The barn

A sober, warm and comfortable gîte for a self-guided walking-farniente holiday.

You enter through the kitchen, an attractive wooden extension added to the building to save space. This is also where you'll find the bathroom, with its XL shower.

On the first floor of the old building, you'll find the living area, which is always nice and cool in summer. The sofa-bed can be folded out for extra guests, as can a single bed that doubles as a bench, and hidden beneath it, a pull-out bed (for a bonus 4 places). In "la grange", the more the merrier ;-)

For winter or half-season, there's the powerful turbo wood-burning stove.

Upstairs are the "official" bedrooms: 2x2 bunk beds in one and a double bed in the other (with a cot).

The last part of the farmhouse to have been renovated (in the mid-2000s), it has recently reverted to the name "la grange" (the barn) that we used to call it when I was a kid and would venture out onto its worm-eaten floor to play with my friends. Those were the days, but it's much more comfortable now!

It's a few dozen meters' walk from the parking lot to bring your stuff in, but there's a wheelbarrow available, and once you're settled in, what a pleasure it is to be away from any vehicles! Arrival times: 5pm to 6:30pm. Exceptions possible in case of problems, of course!

2 evenings a week, from July 20 to around August 20 (to be confirmed), you'll be able to dine at Chez Jeannette's organic-vegetable restaurant.

The gîte is rented by the week in summer. In low season, it can also be rented by the night, with a minimum of 3 days in winter (gîte to be heated in advance).
