Map & local information

The property is located in a small countryside hamlet outside Le Puy-en-Velay in the Haute-Loire department,

Beautiful ancient cathedral town Le Puy en Velay has many attractions and boutique shopping.

Canoeing, rafting, windsurfing, fishing and tennis are all close by. Lac du Bouchet with its fine restaurant is within walking distance for the walking enthusiast.

Two larger lakes are a short drive away.

Lyon airport is two hours easy drive away.

Rodez airport is two and a half hours and a very beautiful drive.

Bike hire from nearby village.

This area was made famous by Robert Lewis Stevenson in his book 'Travels with a donkey', in fact his first stop was intended to be Lac du Bouchet which is very close by. It can be walked to via ancient tracks in about an hour. There you will find a path that takes you on a circuit of the lake in 30 mins. There is an area for swimming. Pedalos are for hire in peak months and fishing is also possible.

There is a small family run hotel at the lakeside and it has an excellent restaurant as well as providing good quality snacks on the outer deck.

Bouchet St. Nicholas was where Stevenson eventually spent his first night and this too is walkable and has two good traditional restaurants. Both these places and many more can also be reached by bike and off roaders on the tracks and by car on normal roads.

Pont d’Alleyras, 8km, where you can canoe and white water raft as well as have some good fishing. There is a good restaurant also.

The barrage du Nausac is a very large reservoir which is especially good for wind-surfing and canoeing both of which can be hired, and is a 30 minute drive.

Lac d’Issarles is 45 minutes away and has a good sandy area for sitting and is a great place to spend a day with things to do on the water, good places to walk and many restaurants. It is also just a short drive from here to the source of the river Loire.
