This nature house is located in a cul-de-sac and borders the vast forests of the Montagne Noire. The house dates back to 1873 and has undergone a thorough renovation in recent years respecting its history.The property is named after the spring, Occitan for hidden source.The house was completely renovated while retaining the original materials and authenticity. The wooden ceilings, wooden beams and thick stone walls were all preserved. Where new parquet and doors were installed, chestnut wood from the surrounding forests was used. The house was stylishly decorated with attention to detail and finish. The original fireplaces were retained and a stove was installed in the downstairs lounge for extra warmth. Coziness is a key word for us.
