Nature house in Foulain

On the hill stands a former guard house, the ‘Gardien’ of the estate Domaine de Moiron. The ground floor is arranged as a ruralhut. Upstairs is an apartment for one volunteer. Next to a room with two beds, a seating area and a wood-burning stove, there is an adjoining room with a dining table and a double sofa bed. The beds are made upon arrival. The house has a spacious, fully equipped kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, dining table and wood burner. The bathroom has a sink and a shower. The toilet is separate. Outside you can sit under the old plum tree. If you don’t feel like cooking, then you are welcome to have dinner at the ‘chateau’.

Nature and surroundings

The beautiful chestnut tree, two lakes, a babbling brook, ivy-covered trees and a meadow surrounded by woods, make Domaine de Moiron a special nature reserve. There are frogs, butterflies, salamanders and many other animals on the property. Birds such as the black kite, kingfisher, large yellow wagtail, water-hunter, oriole, black stork, five species of woodpeckers and the rock creeper are regularly seen. The house owners are on the migratory route of the crane. If you are lucky, you will see a badger, coypu, grass snake or bat and of course deer and wild boar. From the property you walk straight into the state forest.
