The Bugey, our little corner of paradise

It was by accident that we came to the Bugey in 2004, we bought and renovated our house La Forge du Perou.

We have since travelled widely with our children in Europe and across other continents and we  always find the same pleasure in coming back home to the Bugey.

We love our mountains “Le Grand Colombier”, the waterfalls, lakes, rivers, vineyards and the Bugey wine, the friendly people and pretty stone villages.

Le Gîte de l’École (EN) - Airbnb
Spent a week here in May 2019 and had a fantastic time. Villa is in a beautiful location with amazing views. Lots to do to entertain the children with the pool, trampoline, table tennis and pool table. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Made recommendations for things to do in the area and even made us a reservation at a beautiful restaurant.
Just wanted to say thank you for everything you did to assist us on our holiday and letting us useyour lovely place. We had an amazing time and will highly recommend.

Ein tolles Haus mit schönem Pool und toller Aussicht. Mitten in den Bergen gelegen, wenig Nachbarn, keine Touristen, viel Ruhe und Erholung. Genau was wir gebraucht haben. Sehr hilfsbereite und hundefreunliche Gastgeber. Wunderschöne Gegend, viel Natur und dennoch Supermarkt, Restaurants und Bäckerei nahegelegene.

Two great weeks in beautiful surroundings
We (a family of 6) had two outstanding weeks in and around the house. Sarah & Claude are very nice hosts and the house delivered everything as promised. Apart from using the brilliant 10m pool with the wonderful view on the Grand Colombier we made good use of the table tennis and pool billard opportunities. The area itself is astonishing, hiking in the mountains to serveral gorges and waterfalls and canoeing were the main highlights. Lac de Bourget is also worth visiting. Definitely a place to return to! Best regards, Jens, Britta, Rayk, Tarja, Tindra & Runa

Beautiful house with fantastic views
We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers and we had a fabulous holiday in this house. The house itself is beautifully decorated, full of character and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable! Outside, there is the large pool with stunning views, table tennis, a trampoline and children’s toys. Inside, we enjoyed the TVs in the bedrooms and billiards. We felt we didn’t need to leave the house very often! If you do venture out, the area itself is fabulous. It is very quiet (although a great supermarket is only 5 minutes drive away) and it is a really unspoilt area of rural France. There are plenty of walks that can be taken from the house. It is also a good place for cycling. Further afield, we would recommend Annecy, Lac du Bourget, and the view from the Grand Colombier. Sarah and Claude are the perfect hosts. They are very knowledgeable about the area, and go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time. If you are looking for the perfect French rural idyll, then this is for you!

What a wonderful three nights staying at the gite. A beautiful setting, wonderful walks and only a few minutes drive to the local town/village to go to the shops.

Perfect also for our two dogs who had the benefit of the enclosed courtyard to run around. The weather had turned very cold so the fire was very welcome to warm up after our trips to the local vineyards (Bugey produces some fabulous wines), the lakes and waterfalls.

Sarah and Claude were the perfect and most generous and kind of hosts.

Beautiful location, super house, private pool.
A super house with loads of space and games for young families inside the house and outside. We had a great welcome from Sarah and some lovely local produce in the kitchen for our arrival. There were a few beetle type insects in the bedroom the first night, but once we removed them no others appeared. The pool was brilliant, about 20 degrees (early October!) and not overlooked … only by the Grand Columbier! Ideal and beautiful location for any cyclist wanting to ride one of the Tours regular routes. The views from the top were just magical … breathtaking … out of this world. The garden is not secure, it’s open to a neighbours vegetable patch and another neighbours small vineyard. The advert ‘facilities’ lists not only things at the house eg swimming pool, but also things you can do in the area eg sauna, massage, kayak etc. The figs from the tree in the garden were ripe delicious. A quiet walk (1.5 miles) down a quiet track, steep in part, gets you into the village of Artemare with a boulangerie, Carrefour Contact, butcher and restaurants (we can recommend Le Seran for a lovely meal). Sarah and Claude were perfect and responded promptly to our enquiries. Without question, we would stay there again.

Great spacious house and excellent hosts
A lovely, spacious house for two families. We especially loves the balcony with its lovely view. The children loved the pool, table tennis, pool table, etc. Sarah and Claude were great attentive hosts and gave excellent advice on sightseeing, Wine tasting, shopping etc. All communication was swift and precise. The area offers great local Wine and produce and opportunities for outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking and fishing. We would love to visit the house again and strongly recommend a stay here.
