Gîte "La Mater," meaning "mother" in Latin, is a tribute to the grandmother whose home it was. This 3-star rated gîte, located in the countryside, offers comfort and tranquility for a rejuvenating and successful stay. The peaceful setting and garden are much appreciated. Walks in the surrounding area offer beautiful views of the Chaîne des Puys mountain range! We live across the courtyard and are often available to offer advice. The icing on the cake? Véronique's massage practice is at the same address! This gîte is ideal for your get-togethers with friends or family: in the heart of France, easily accessible, sleeps 10, enclosed courtyard, barbecue... Also ideal for small group workshops: the large room can be arranged to host your yoga, meditation, or other activities for about 5 or 6 participants. Even better for a calm and peaceful stopover during your north-south or east-west journey across France! Shall I show you around? You enter a hall where you can leave your shoes and coats. Opposite is the laundry room, to the left is the main living area, and to the right is the staircase to the upstairs bedrooms.
