    Let's start right away with the strongest point of this nature house in Champallement: the view. From the garden you look for miles over the rolling countryside of the Nievre. It is always a feast to return from a hiking or biking trip to sit o[ the lawn, lay your legs on the stone wall and endlessly let your gaze go over the green hills. The cottage itself is also very nice. It is small, with a surprisingly spacious bathroom, but plenty big enough for two people. Champallement is located in a landscape where time seems to have stood still. Along the way, on a bicycle or on foot, you encounter very few people. The villages are hushed and the grazing cows under a tree remind you of a Paulus Potter painting. The Nievre is a very nice cycling area, but you should not mind a decent climb every now and then. If you want to cycle flat, the Nivernais canal is a good alternative.
