A summer day in 2000. We got lost on a country road in the Morvan. Wife and children sleep well and there was a small sign A Vendre. 1 day later we signed the purchase contract and La Diligence was ours. 14 years of vacancy had left its mark, but all the original details were still there. Now ten years later we have saved 4 abandoned houses in the area. We still work in the Netherlands, but all holidays are in France. Many families have enjoyed one of our homes

What a lovely cottage! We thoroughly enjoyed the large veranda and the beautiful view every day. Nice contact with the manager and the contact person on site. Really a cottage to unwind, but also plenty to do and see in the area.

La Forge is a simple house. On a concrete foundation, a construction has been built with metal posts and sheet metal that is a cross between a large mobile home and a summer cottage. But that's also the charm: if you don't need...

Dear Peter, A reaction that makes you blush. La Forge's strong point is the porch, its location in nature and the beautiful view. Glad you were able to enjoy this. Hope to see you next year and then we would like to invite you ...
