HOLIDAY AWAY FROM IT ALL IN THE AUVERGNEJust South of the Centre of France is a little known area rich in
History and full of natural, unpolluted beauty. The Auvergne has
Medieval market towns, castles and tiny hamlets nestling in its
hills and valleys. For Nature lovers there is a wealth of wildlife. There are
numerous varieties of birds and beautiful butterflies hovering over the flower filled meadows. You will discover
volcanoes, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and wonderful views. Wherever you venture across
the region you will find new places to visit and explore, either on foot, by bike or by car.
Nestling high in the hills of the Haut Livradois with views across to the Monts
de Forez, our home in Le Mayet has all that you need for a special holiday.
We are in the East of the Puy-de-Dôme region and the area is known as the Auvergne
of the Rising Sun.
You can choose to be as relaxed or as energetic as you please. We have garden areas
and meadows to laze in and you have a choice of walks directly from your front door.

The accommodation is in the "new" (circa 1863)
extension to
our Auvergnate farmhouse and has been carefully restored to retain some of its
original features whilst providing modern facilities. It is clean, bright, comfortable and
strictly for non-smokers. We are sorry but we cannot accept pets.
Ideal as a holiday retreat for couples, the Cottage can sleep up to four using the double bed settee in the
lounge/dining room. There is a large shower room and a wooden staircase leads from the lounge to the spacious
galleried bedroom with its comfortable double bed. The kitchen area is bright and well equipped. Self-catering
prices for 2008 range from £300 - £400 per week and include linen and towels, all electricity and gas
for hot water, heating and cooking and local holiday taxes (which are now, by law, payable to the commune).
A tumble drier and washing machine are available if required.

Our local market town of Ambert is 8 kilometres away and the city of Clermont-Ferrand with its main line
railway station is one hour away.
There are regular trains and flights to Clermon-Ferrand from Paris. |
