La Grange Nozieres

THE HOUSE

Farmhouse
You rent half of a large farmhouse/grange (both house and garden separate from the neighbors). A characteristic house with a view over the valley, in the middle of nature with the tinkling of cowbells around you. Plenty of nature and everything close by. A village within cycling/walking distance, the capital is 35 minutes by car and within half an hour's drive you are high in the volcanic mountains.

Wifi/ internet/TV
Wireless internet is available, also outside on the terraces. The 4G range/speed is fine around the house. You can watch Dutch television channels via the NLZiet app on the TV.

Living room
The living-sleeping area is 120 m2 and is entirely on the ground floor. The living room of 60 m2 has a large dining table with 6 chairs, a comfortable 4-person sofa and several armchairs.  

Kitchen
The open kitchen is fully equipped: dishwasher, combi oven, induction hob, fridge + large freezer, coffee maker / senseo. Are you missing something.... Let  us know...

Bedrooms
There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with extra sink. Two rooms have 2 single beds (90 x 200 cm). One bedroom has a single bed and a pull-out bed. There are 2 cots available. 

Bathroom
The bathroom has a luxurious shower with massage jets, separate shower head and a rain shower. In addition, a double sink and modern washing machine are available.

THE GARDEN 
Around the house is a lot of land with a wide view over the valley and the village. In addition to the large balcony, there is a large terrace. Guests can make a campfire at the terrace. In addition, there is a large playground. And if it is a bit colder or raining, sit together by the outdoor fireplace (under the terrace). Of course, the bbq is not missing! You can look away from you everywhere and you are not bothered by neighbors. 

Suitable for children
There is plenty for children: high chair, 2 cots, playpen, stair gates, large playground, swimming pool, toys, etc....


THE CLIMATE 
The weather is subject to the continental and mountain climate. All temperatures are more extreme. When the sun shines, it immediately feels warmer and the number of hours of sunshine is much greater than in the Netherlands. It is located quite south on the heights of Bordeaux so that the warm influence of the Midi is clearly noticeable. At night it is still really dark with a clear starry sky that you no longer see in the Netherlands.


THE AREA

The mountains of the Cantal
Most Dutch people know the Dordogne, the Ardèche, Puy de Dôme and the Lot, but not the Cantal, which is right in the middle of it. Even for France connoisseurs, the Cantal is a real surprise and discovery. The Cantal is located in the volcanic area of the Massif Central. The highest peak is the Plomb du Cantal (1855m) and the Puy Mary (1800m).  The Cantal = nature: green-blue mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls. The mountain landscape was once formed by volcanic eruptions and the abrasion of glaciers. 

Salers (15 minutes drive)
Partly thanks to its medieval atmosphere, the town is considered by connoisseurs to be one of the most beautiful places in the region. Some even rank Salers among the most beautiful places in all of France. On the various squares and in the streets there are several shops, studios and of course cozy restaurants.
 
Aurillac (35 minutes drive)
The capital is Aurillac, a beautiful city worth seeing with an old center, shops, restaurants, boutiques and a wide range of cultural offerings: music, museums, horse racing and the fantastic Théâtre de Rue in August. 

Hiking in the mountains
The Cantal is dotted with hiking trails from an hour, half-day to multi-day treks (hut treken). So, the walking shoes have to come along. Walking on the mountain ridges, the lack of forests quickly gives you the idea that you are walking in the High Alps. The real climbers will get their money's worth... or you can take the chairlift (Lioran) or the large gondola (Plomp du Cantal) and walk...   

A cycling paradise
In the Cantal you will only encounter the semi/pro cyclist in the mountains. It is not for nothing that the Cantal has almost always been included in the Tour de France. 

Canoeing, horse riding, fishing
Within an hour's drive you can canoe on the Dordogne, the Truyère or the Lot. And what about horseback riding in the mountains or trout fishing. 

Water sports
Everywhere you can swim in the large lakes where you can still find the freshwater crayfish. Surfing, catamaran sailing, water skiing, everything is possible and for rent. 

Castles and churches
The Cantal is dotted with Romanesque churches that are among the most beautiful in France and you will find castles and manors everywhere. A hundred meters from the farm is the castle St. Pol. Several castles and villages (including Jussac) have their own festivities in the summer with knight play, son et lumières, pilgrimage parades, fire games, etc.
