Gite les Branches - Le Cœur du Moulin

In the beautiful rolling French farmland of Allier, you'll find surprising views and authentic French scenes around every bend. We do our shopping in the picturesque village of Bourbon l'Archambault, 11 km away. Or quickly to the Ygrande bakery for a baguette or a croissant 6 km away.

The Allier department is a wonderful region for walking, cycling and water. Something for everyone: MTB / sport bike or a leisurely bike ride. Long distance walks or a walk in the countryside and along the lake. Swimming in a local lake, in our swimming pool or in the Allier river where you can also go canoeing. You can fish in the large pond next to our house. Are you looking for history, culture, a wine cellar where you can taste delicious French wines or a cheese farm? Old towns with flea markets, churches, castles and beautiful terraces. The towns of Clermont-Ferrand, Vichy and Bourges lie in different wind directions about an hour's drive away. Closer are the small but beautiful towns of Moulins-sur-Allier and Montluçon.
There are also two theme parks nearby, Vulcania for the older ones and Le Pal for the younger ones, combined with a zoo.

The Branches cottage; A comfortable holiday apartment for 2 to 6 people on the ground floor. In the enclosed private garden with terrace with wooden garden furniture and deck chairs it is wonderful to stay. The comfortable living room is furnished with a 2-seater sofa and a sofa bed. For those who want to keep up to date with world news or who can't sleep yet, there is French television or a DVD. The open kitchen with wooden dining set is simple but effective. So if you don't barbecue once, you can just cook delicious. In the special bathroom designed in a French style there is a walk-in shower, sink and toilet. In other words, you can brush your teeth and shower. Holidays are quite tiring and we want to be able to sleep well. This is possible in the 2 bedrooms with 2 separate beds. And yes, they can be put together.
