Nature and surroundings
The cottage is especially suited for people who love peace and nature and appreciate a low-stimulus environment. Unlike most houses from that era, the farmhouse stands completely alone, with the nearest homes about 500 meters away. True silence! The complete darkness of night provides a sharp view of the Milky Way and countless stars. The house is located at an elevation of 1,040 meters in the Livradois-Forez Nature Park (municipality of Saint-Germain-L’Herm, Puy-de-Dôme department). This park consists of protected natural landscapes with a rich and diverse array of flora and fauna. Forests, hills, and volcanoes alternate with sweeping, green valleys and heathlands. The area is ideal for hiking and biking enthusiasts. In the fall, the forests are full of edible mushrooms such as chanterelles and porcini. In the fall, the weather can be beautifully late-summer-like.

We were also very happy with our kind and thoughtful host, who helped us with whatever we needed and gave us great tips on activities and places to see (and a little history lesson).
Daarnaast waren we erg blij met de fijne en attente host, die ons hielp met wat we nodig hadden en ons goede tips gaf voor activiteiten en bezienswaardigheden (en een lesje geschiedenis).
You won’t find a place much quieter than this Petite Gîte. It’s an incredibly well-maintained traditional cottage with a beautiful garden. Despite the name “Petite,” it’s more than spacious enough and has all the amenities you need for a long stay.
Veel rustiger dan in deze Petite Gîte zul je het niet gauw treffen. Het is een ontzettend goed onderhouden klassiek huisje met een fraaie tuin. Voor de term ‘Petite’ is het meer dan ruim genoeg en heeft het genoeg voorzieningen voor een lang verblijf.
