Welcome to those looking for a place to rest in a still preserved environment, to those who enjoy the calm and the beautiful landscapes, far from the main roads!
In April, you can discover the meadows covered with wild daffodils.
The gîte is available in all seasons, all year round, as it is very well insulated, easy to heat thanks to the central position of the wood-burning stove.
The chalet is located in the heart of the Plateau de Millevaches, at an altitude of 900 m, at the end of a hamlet, at the edge of a path which invites you to discover the richness of the "Limousine Mountain":
beech or resinous forests, moors, peat bogs, pastures, pond and river (the Vézère) are accessible on foot from the gîte.
In front of the gîte, you can admire the panoramic view of a large beech wood and the pastures bordering the Vézère, as well as beautiful sunsets and the starry sky without light pollution:
the Regional Natural Park of Millevaches in Limousin is recognized as an "International Starry Sky Reserve" (RICE).
The incredible profusion of Lobaria lichens on the trees along the Vézère, near the chalet, is an indicator of the very good air quality.
Unfortunately, during your hikes, you will be confronted with desolate landscapes, due to the clear felling of hardwoods or softwoods, very common logging practices, but very controversial, even within the WOOD sector.

- IGN 1/25000 local map, maps of Corrèze and Limousin, topo guides of the Plateau de Millevaches
