The setting
Easily accessible, close to the village's main road (a departmental road with very little traffic), the cottage is surrounded by greenery. You can park your vehicle in the immediate vicinity on a stabilized parking space.
On the banks of the River Raddon, you'll enjoy its soothing sound and cool summer air. Squirrels will come and spy on you, while you can observe fario trout and crayfish before setting off on the many hiking trails around your accommodation.
A wooden bridge takes you to the second area of the campsite, where you'll find the sanitary facilities (20 meters away) and a large area to enjoy the bucolic setting between river and forest, with games for children and a campfire pit.
The spots
All in wood, connected to electricity, insulated and heated if necessary.
On the ground floor, a living room with table and benches and small kitchenette (two gas rings, cold water point and sink, refrigerator). One bedroom with double bed 140x190 (BARE pillows and comforter provided, sheets available at extra cost). A cot and high chair are also available.
On the mezzanine level, accessible via a wooden ladder, you'll find a second bedroom with folding beds (camp beds, please bring sleeping bags). A mattress can be added in the middle to accommodate a third child if required. The upstairs is secured to prevent falls by younger children (lockable gate from outside).
