We are a small, family-run business consisting of just the two of us, along with our mischievous foursome of cats, who can be spotted playfully roaming around our premises! Our primary passions revolve around nature, wildlife, and vintage antiques. Fortunately, we are situated in the heart of one of the most pristine areas in rural France, allowing us to indulge in our love for walking, cycling, and swimming. Living here has taught us to always carry a camera with us, as the beauty of the wildlife in this region is simply astounding. Thanks to the tranquility that surrounds us, many usually shy animals and birds are easily encountered during daylight hours, giving us the perfect opportunity to capture breathtaking photographs. During the summer, we've established a fun tradition: at 4 pm, we take a break from whatever we're doing and make our way to the nearby lake for a refreshing swim. The lake is just a short 5-minute drive or a pleasant 30-minute walk away, making it super convenient. It's the perfect activity to fill a few hours or even an entire day with joy. To complete our lake adventure, we absolutely love visiting the two little Bistro's along the shore. During the summer months, these charming spots are open and waiting for us! After a swim, we unwind with a cool drink and, if I'm lucky, enjoy a delightful evening meal while admiring the breathtaking sunset over the lake. We simply can't let our guests have all the fun—we want to join in on the excitement too!
