Stay in the holiday home.
In the old barn of the farm we have built a comfortable gîte for 4 people (possibility for 6 with supplement). The kitchen is fully equipped (oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, Senseo coffee machine, etc.). The kitchen opens onto the dining and living room. On the mezzanine you’ll have 2 single beds, ideal for the kids! The master bedroom, very spacious, equipped with a bed with high quality mattress and pillows to ensure you get a good night's sleep, helped by the calm environment of this place. Only the cries of a pair of eagle owls could disturb your sleep. The bathroom and separate toilet, with an original colorful design, complete your gîte.

We also have a studio for 2-3 people, overlooking the courtyard of our farm. The studio is fully equipped, 2 sofas transform into comfortable beds for the night. It is available for rental per night with breakfast included. You can also book for diner. Ideal for hikers on the Camino de Santiago because you pass our house when you take the Camino de Geneva.

Jules Romains' bedroom
We also have a guest room project for 2 people maximum. This room will be located in the small house which overlooks the courtyard of our farm. It was in this room that Jules Romains was born in 1985! We will try to keep this place as much as possible in the style of the end of the 19th century while ensuring today's comfort.
