Simple escape to nature, rustic family retreat in river valley in France, YES!

Nestled in the heart of France, our charming former mill offers a peaceful escape from the everyday. This private, detached house is a haven of tranquility, surrounded by sprawling gardens perfect for games, relaxation, and multi-generational gatherings. Unplug and unwind with free 300MB Wi-Fi throughout the property, from the gardens to the riverbank.Nature’s Playground Awaits
Fish in the serene river flowing beneath the house, marvel at the vibrant butterflies, and photograph a diverse array of wildlife and birds. At night, gaze at the clearest, most breathtaking starry skies you’ve ever seen. For adventure, explore the wild forests on mountain bikes, zip down our expanding Tirolyeanne zipline, or swing on the 7-meter footswing (supervised use only). Paddle a stand-up board or dinghy on the lake, or let kids splash in the gentle stream. Cool off in the refreshing pool during France’s warmest days, finding the perfect oasis for relaxation.Rich Experiences for All
Discover authentic prehistoric cave drawings nearby—no replicas here! Play tennis for free at a court just a short walk away, or visit more castles within an hour’s drive than anywhere else on earth. Bargain hunt at local flea markets and auctions, bringing home treasures and memories.

Evening Bliss

As the sun sets, gather around the roaring wood stove, savor world-class local wines, and indulge in gourmet, locally sourced cuisine cherished by food connoisseurs.

Dream Under the Stars

During heatwaves, opt for special sleeping arrangements under the open sky, drifting off as you stargaze. This is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to reconnect, explore, and create lifelong memories.Book Your Rustic Retreat Today.

Nous avons apprécié le charme d'une maison rustique tout en étant bien équipée. Wifi et téléphone fixe ont permis de compenser l'absence de réseau sur place. Nous avons bien profité avec 5 petits-enfants du grand espace intérieur et du vaste jardin qui nécessite cependant de la vigilance vu la proximité de la rivière.Clive est très accueillant et chaleureux. Très souvent à proximité, il était prêt à répondre à nos demandes et à proposer des aménagements pour les enfants.
