Authentic 19th-century farmhouse, completely restored & refurbished, nestled in the heart of a peaceful rural hamlet steeped in history (a former winegrowing village surrounded by 230 ha of vines in the early 20th c.) nestled at the foot of a wooded hill on the edge of meadows and hedged farmland, on the banks of the Loire, Europe's last "wild river". A pleasant country setting in the heart of a preserved natural site classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for the quality of its exceptional plant and animal biotope (fish, mammals, birds, insects, amphibians...), a migration, reproduction and nesting axis for numerous species, some of them very rare (Atlantic salmon, shad, sea lamprey or eel; waders, kingfisher, bank swallow, European bee-eater...).
