Inside wooden stairs connect the floors and bottom & first connect also by a large easy path outside. there is plenty of parking space. Everything runs on electricity + dish washer, washing machine, drier.
There is no internet nor TV but 4G is good quality and town hall offers free WIFI.
About the location
Central mountains surrounded by very old volcanos: Water from the tap is from the spring that runs the village (very healthy).
Perfect for hiking, fruit picking or even better for experienced cyclists. Every year the last difficulty of the ARDECHOISE bicycle race is judged next to the house after 600m gain of altitude in 9 km.
Food is genuinely nice/good quality in the area one of the best Michelin restaurant (Regis Marcon) is 11 km away in Saint Bonnet le Froid, well known for local mushrooms.
The village has a strong catholic heritage. Nearby is Puy en Velay, le Cheylard (jewelry, leasure center), La Bathie d’Andaure (trouts), Tain l’Hermitage and CORNAS (Wine) , the Vivarais steam train, boating in Devesset, himalaya bridge over the Lignon river …on the other hand the Ardeche river is quite far.
