    Everything was special. The place, a converted farmhouse with barn, the garden area with vegetables and fruits we could eat. The spacious house is a successful combination of preservation of the past and stylish modernisation. The green area is...

Frederika
Welcome to our paradise; a former wine farm surrounded by one hectare of food forest. Simply and soberly furnished, because going back to basics is the new luxury! Mountains, rivers, rough nature, picturesque villages, castles and beautiful cities such as Vichy, Moulins and Clermont-Ferrand nearby. Bellenaves at 2 kilometres, with all basic facilities and a train station. Building huts, canoeing, walking, cycling, swimming in the Gorges de la Sioule. It's all possible.
Frederika is a PhD-candidate and art theory teacher who likes gardening, foraging and cooking. She lives in France since 2022.
The short version: space, tranquility, rough nature. In this region you'll find views of the vast (wine) valleys of the Allier and the peaks of the Massif Central: the ski and spa resort of Mont-Dore and the volcanic mountain range around the Puy de Dôme. The biggest secret of central France: the Gorges de la Sioule. This gorge with impressive rock formations is a must for sports enthusiasts and nature lovers and leads you via Château Rocher and the Romanesque bridge at Menat past Château Chouvigny and Viaduc de Rouzat. La Sioule is the cleanest river in France. Canoeing, swimming, hiking, everything is possible. For those who dare: the Via Ferrata is a spectacular climbing course over the granite rocks of the gorge. Slightly less intense but very worthwhile is the climbing amusement park Accro Sioule at 10 minutes. On the border of our backgarden, you'll find the beautiful Forêt des Colettes for nice walks. Vibrant cities Vichy and Clermont-Ferrand (candidate Capital of Culture) can be found within an hour. For groceries and weekly markets, you can go to Bellenaves, Ébreuil, Gannat or St-Eloy-les-Mines. Charroux, visible from the gîte, is in the top 10 of the most beautiful French villages. Along the way you pass castles and a monumental
