We are situated on the edge of a South facing village 390 metres above sea level, in the Bourbonnaise Mountains. The area around us is rural with fields, woods, and streams and in the background the mountains rising to 450 m, with skying in the winter. To the west of us is the spa town of Vichy with its famous thermal spa, and also the old market town of Cusset with its theatre and restaurants. Approximately, 10 kms from us in the mountains is the pretty old village of Chatel Montagne with its famous Romanesque Church, and about the village are many craftsmen, including, potters, artists, a glass blower, basket weaver, to mention just a few.
