This is a perfect place for relaxing with a glass of wine, or the local cider, to watch the sun go down, or to star gaze at clear night skies.

Further Details
Our own French home and our other gîte are situated in the same tiny hamlet; each property is completely self-contained. La Belle Maison is detached, has its own enclosed grounds and is not not overlooked by our house or other guests. We are on hand to assist or give advice if requested, but do not intrude on our guests' privacy. Many varieties of birds can be seen without leaving the cottage garden, and butterflies are everywhere. Deer, hare and even boar have been spotted crossing the surrounding land. The nearest small town, Plessala, is 3km. This a thriving friendly community with individual shops and a weekly market; there is a very good Creperie, two bars, boules and tennis courts and a trout lake surrounded by parkland where firework displays take place during fetes. The mayors office actively encourages walkers, cyclists and riders by publishing route maps and maintaining well marked trails around the area, that take in beautiful vistas, historic buildings and the Celtic stone crosses for which this commune is renown. Moncontour, 10km, should not be missed. Designated a Petite Cite de Caractère, it is a wonderfully preserved medieval hilltop town with lovely old buildings amongst winding streets; the church square is a good place to stop for and drink at a cafe and watch the world go by. The regular Fetes des Ramparts is held in full medieval costume and several other festivals take place throughout the year. There is a selection of restaurants in the town.
