    It has been restored in an authentic style. I felt like I was stepping back in time. The breakfast was delightful and served in the the basement of the 10th century building. It was a very interesting stay.

Due to Corona we only take reservations for a 4th night stay. because after every stay we wil wait at least one day to do the cleaning and another day to be sure nothing contagious is left behind in the room for the new guests, Space, history, silence, nature, Roman culture, modern Art, delicious food, teraces and garden full with roses, lavander, rosmarin and fruit. La Grande Maison, bild on a Roman Chapel, feels like an ancient Bourgois but also warm family home. You don/t find any television in the house however they can be placed but I don't think it fits in the atmosphere of the house and the silence and quitness. there are books to read and so many thinks to visit. And dinners in the evening at the terrace were you can wacht the sunset and the stars.
I restored the house in 1998 with all my senses and creativity.My organisation Artedu is giving courses in the summer in drawing and painting, photography and music Be my guest in this spectacular part of France the Auvergne Haute-Loire!
Near the river Allier where you can swim ( please ask me before where you ca swim save) and do all kind of watersports and fishing. The house it situated at the foot of a Romanesque Abbey abbaye with magnificent view, 5km from Langeac with all kind of shops, terraces, restaurants and 40km of le Puy en Velay (unesco), Nature all over with walking and biking tracks ( please ask for the maps) narrow middleaged streets, flowering and herbgarden in front of the house.
