Rustic family retreat in the Allier Gorges, nature and hiking nearby
South of the Haute-Loire region, bordering Lozère, lies the village of Alleyras. In the small hamlet of Pourcheresse, overlooking the Upper Allier Gorges, you'll find Joëlle and Alain's gîte, "Le Tourtet."
This renovated stone house, while retaining its traditional style, is ideal for gatherings with family or friends. You'll appreciate the peaceful surroundings, the countryside, and the magnificent view of Mont Devès.
You can enjoy an inner courtyard with a pergola for al fresco dining, as well as a ping-pong table to entertain both young and old.
From the gîte: numerous hiking trails, including the GR470 which passes through Pourcheresse; the town of Alleyras with its grocery store, restaurant, ice cream and drinks stand, and weekly market in July and August; mountain biking trails; rail biking; horseback riding; a river for fishing enthusiasts; whitewater sports (canoeing, kayaking, rafting, etc.); and swimming.
