La Belle Chataigne (6 sovplatser. 3 sovrum)

After many visits over many years to France, it was perhaps fate that we would move here. Many people dream of living the dream, Denise and I decided to follow ours and jumped in with both feet. We believe we have found our little piece of heaven here in the Cantal, a lovely old farmhouse with two superb gites/Apartment's, a large swimming pool, games room, Pétanque court and the most delightful views over the countryside you could possibly ask for. Denise and I both like to explore and we are centrally placed to reach the Med, Spain and even Italy. We love the garden and I like to play my guitar, while Denise loves art and is eager to re-ignite her passion for painting. We both have grown up children back in the UK who love to visit, just an hour from Rodez. we love where we live and look forward to it bewitching all our guests.

One minute high on the mountain tops then down again in the valleys and never far from cascading streams and yet beautiful meadows and forests all around. Deep rusty brown Salers Cattle graze and the new roads through the hills and lack of traffic on the roads make this area a pleasure to drive in. Experience the bustle of the local markets and fetes. The beautiful warm (30°) plus summers, balmy evenings, fresh clear clean air, peace and quiet and what is becoming rare indeed in the UK, lots and lots of space. both the spring and autumns vibrant colours make you just stop and catch your breath. And then in winter,you can still sit and eat outside and enjoy alpine blue skies with bright sunshine and the most spectacular sunsets. It makes this truly a special region all year round.

Gites/Apartments one and two both benefit from being next to the pool with glorious views over uninterrupted countryside. Inside there are all the mod cons you should need which include washing machines, dishwashers microwaves, over and above the equipment that you would expect to have normally. There is a games room underneath where you can enjoy a game of ping pong on the full sized table tennis table, also good for the children to get out of the hot summer heat when it gets too hot. There is space to play Pétanque or to just kick back and laze by the pool. If you wish to have a night in there are barbecues and the local good red wine, MARCILLAC is certainly worth sampling. we are only 3km from Montsalvy, where you have all types of shop and the nearest large town is Aurillac which is only 25 mins away. 20 minutes away the is the stunning village of Entraygues with its beautiful architecture right next to the river. Another beautiful village is Conque a must see. We are very fortunate to have a Deer park in our village of Junhac which the children love to visit. Our area is perfect for walkers and cyclists, often we have the Tour de France pass by.
