Yannick opens the doors to a charming former farm outbuilding built in 1829, which he has lovingly restored to a very high standard. It was once linked to the neighboring authentic traditional farmhouse dating from 1800, which he also occupies, also perfectly restored, nestled in the calm of the Countryside in a peaceful little rural hamlet. Total tranquility nestled in a splendidly landscaped setting of total nature and greenery, on the edge of woods and pastures, a stone's throw from a vast national forest and bucolic ponds teeming with fish (wildlife can be observed on site). Very comfortable Holiday cottage, literally a "mini country loft", with atypical interior architecture. A warm country feel with contemporary accents, sublimated by a sculptural metal design staircase and a meticulous heritage restoration (conservation of the stone walls & lintels and the imposing period fireplace mantel topping the original bread oven that once occupied the premises, whose now-glazed "door" remains, a delightful "wink" to the building's singular history). Enormous character. A cosy, enveloping and totally exotic atmosphere. A soothing, romantic refuge, soft and cosy, with an incredible charm, where past and present converse with elegance. The large, shaded terrace opens onto a pleasant private garden featuring a cherry and plum tree (available for Picking during your stay), providing welcome natural shade in summer.
