6 gites in the heart of the Bugey
for nature lovers

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.

Met ons gezin (6 volwassen en 2 kinderen) hebben we een geweldige week gehad. Het huis met de tuin en zwembad was heerlijk. Ook de tafeltennistafel en springkussen waren een succes. Gastvrij ontvangen en goede informatie gekregen over de omgeving. Sarah en Claud heel erg bedankt.
