Le Mayet is a small attractive hamlet with seven houses. It is part of the commune of Le Monestier and nestles in the hills at around 830 metres. Our property, which consists of old stone built farm buildings, flower meadows, gardens, apple trees and a large vegetable plot, covers an area of nearly two acres. The surrounding countryside is farmland and forest. The air is clean and on a clear night the stars are amazing.

There are many pleasant and varied walks in the immediate vicinity and a good range of mountain bike trails nearby. The pretty village centre of Le Monestier is a five-minute drive or a fifteen minute walk up the hill. Standing at the feet of the statue of the Virgin Mary, there are wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.

St Amant Roche Savine, with its post office and bread shop, is a short drive away and down in the valley, at a distance of eight kilometers, lies the medieval market town of Ambert with its numerous shops, excellent supermarkets, restaurants, museums, swimming pool and lake.
