Do you enjoy peace and quiet? Then the watermill is the perfect spot, located right on the Tourtoulloux River. Inside, it’s wonderful to relax by the crackling wood stove. You can read undisturbed or finally write that book. There’s no TV, but there is an excellent internet connection. Enjoy cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and take a sauna every now and then. The mill can accommodate four people. The comfortable living and dining room, featuring a wood stove and underfloor heating, opens onto a balcony overlooking the river. On the ground floor is a large bedroom with a double bed and an extra sleeper sofa, and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. Upstairs is a landing with a seating area. The bedroom has two single beds and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The laundry room and a traditional sauna are in the basement, and a door leads to a terrace by the river. The mill is generally available for rent year-round, even during the off-season—please email us.

Nature and surroundings

The watermill, located at an elevation of 454 meters, sits on the banks of the Tourtouloux River, also known as Le Pic. The river is one of eight rivers in France to have been awarded the “Natural River” designation. It’s a place where you can also spot wildlife and kingfishers. On the land next to the mill, there’s a court where you can play badminton, and there’s a picnic table by the river. During rainy periods, the river and the waterfall are at their best. There is no light pollution, so you can see beautiful starry skies. The wooded area is popular for hiking. The Cascade des Jarrauds, a popular tourist attraction, is within walking distance of the mill. You can visit the weekly markets featuring local products, and Lac de Vassivière is just a 20-minute drive away. All of this in an area free of mass tourism.

General rating: 10 /10

The converted mill is equipped with every comfort. We were impressed by the well-equipped kitchen! Everything we needed was there.
Nel and Reg are very friendly hosts. They live nearby and are on call in case anything comes up. But we didn’t need them—everything was fine.
We discovered that there’s a supervised swimming lake in Peyrat-Le-Château where you can rent pedal boats for free. In any case, there are several lakes in the area where you can enjoy free or inexpensive activities. But for us, the cottage and its surroundings were sometimes enough to completely unwind and find our inner peace. We had a wonderful vacation there!

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

We had a wonderful vacation in this little piece of paradise! The Tourtoulloux is one of France’s eight wild rivers. We were in heaven just enjoying the cottage and the river itself, where we had magical encounters with butterflies, the great yellow wagtail, kingfishers, buzzards, wild boars, little owls, lizards, and more.
There are also beautiful hikes in the area!
