Air sight

Old farm early XIX th century which has been restored with ancient materials and in a convivial and welcoming spirit ...

The alley

It is by an alley of silver birches that you reach the shaded carpark or the covered garage (two cars).

The front courtyard

Passing under a porch which protects you from the rain, you end in the front yard. A play ground of petanque awaits you under the pergola with its climbing vine.

The reception...

... is made by Stephan and Julia who will have great joy to welcome you and will share with you the history of this house. Do not forget to sign the visitors' Book.

The living room…

... on the right while entering, a comfortable living room will enable you to rest yourselves in front of a fire place in winter. You will find there great number of tourist booklets referring to the area and the activities suggested.

The music corner

Facing the living room, on the left, a piano which knew how to be carressed by many hands and heard many operas. A story not to be missed…

Perhaps will you want to lull us or make us swing?

The “cloister”

Corridor leading towards the summer dining room. One finds there an old confessional door coming from the nearby church…

… and an old baker's oven opening on the kitchen. Field reserved for your hostess.

Double flaps door

Passage towards the "rainbow room" where your breakfast in summer awaits you.

The guardian of the house

Who supervises with an attentive eye the comings and goings of the guests.

The heart of the house

Which beats at the rhythm of the passing time.

* In order to limit the gas emission , the house and its dependences are entirely heated by a geothermal system consisting in 12 vertical drillings at 30m of depth.

The domestic hot water and the central heating depend on this system as well as the heating floors in all the rooms except the one of the “Tourtourelle” heated by traditional radiators connected to this same circuit.
