Auvergne, in the heart of the Massif Central, in France, is an original and unspoilt holiday destination to go to with family or friends.

The nearest towns where you can get your fresh bread or enjoy a cosy terrace are La Tour d'Auvergne and Bagnols.

Larger towns are Bort-les-Orgues, La Bourboule and Le Mont-Dore. For these you need to drive about 20 minutes and here you will find the larger and well-known supermarkets such as the Intermarché and Attac.

Nearby, you will enjoy a beautiful and unspoilt nature and the area therefore invites you to make beautiful walks and cycling tours. The originally volcanic Sancy massif is a true paradise for hikers. A unique environment with large open plains, rugged nature and an extremely diverse landscape, fauna and flora. For example, 40 different orchid species can be found in this part of Auvergne between May and October.

In La Tour d'Auvergne there is a recreational lake where you can swim and fish. From the house you can take trips to the waterfall around the corner, the medieval castle Chateau du Val located on a large reservoir on the outskirts of Bort-les-Orgues, volcanic crater lakes such as Lac Pavin (too deep to swim in).

The house has lots of maps of the area, also great tips for hiking etc.

    We waren hier voor de tweede keer. We wisten dus van tevoren dat het een fijn huis is. Het weer zat mee, heerlijk zomerweer. We genoten van het prachtige uitzicht, we konden uren blijven kijken vanaf het fijne terras. De omgeving is erg geschikt voor wandelen, racefietsen, zwemmen.
    Het huis heeft veel ruimte, goede bedden, fijne keuken, wat ons betreft volledig voorzien van alle gemakken. Het nachtelijk bezoek van een vleermuis op de slaapkamer was iets minder ons ding 😏.
    Kortom, voldoende ingrediënten voor een vervolg!

  • 10 stars

    We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in Eragne. Het huis is compleet ingericht, de eigenaresse is gastvrij en op afstand betrokken. Het uitzicht vanaf het terras is werkelijk fantastisch. Het huis en de tuin bieden volop privacy en rust.
    Kortom dit huis is een aanrader voor iedereen.
