Tournoël Castle and a tree near a lake


Some steps in front of the cottage


The Church in Saint Nectaire Le Haut

One of the large Roman churches one can see in Auvergne (centre of France) mostly built with dark volcanic stone. Impressive and austere !

The self catering cottage in the "middle of nowhere!"

Lost down a winding road, with very few neighbours apart from chickens, rabbits, deer and owls, no internet, no possible phone connection, we spent two weeks in this cottage with my husband, my sister and my Mum, and some friends joined us for daytime visits and meals. These were quiet holidays for sure !
