Ways to spend the night

  • Cabin

About this location

This welcoming gîte-refuge allows you to stay close to nature for one night or longer.

There is a sleeping cabin, a kitchen/dining/reading area (the drying room), a bathroom, an outdoor solar shower, and dry toilets. These spaces are spread out because most of your time will be spent in nature.

It is an atypical, shared accommodation. You can rent all 10 places if you want privacy, or join others in a convivial meeting place.

Perched on a hilltop at the forest edge, calm and restful, this refuge offers immersion in the woods. The views and sunsets provide constant pleasure. The pathways wind through the forest.

Activities
I offer ethnobotanical walks on request (pay-what-you-wish). Learn to identify local plants and their culinary, medicinal, and dye uses.

You are in the heart of prehistory with countless sites to visit: castles, medieval sites, caves, and classified villages. The Vézère and Dordogne rivers offer canoeing and swimming. Marked and unmarked hiking trails are easy. The GR36 passes 4 km away. Montignac (Lascaux cave) and Thenon are 8 km away.

Other notes
The gîte is not isolated. In early and late season, weather can be harsh—bring warm clothing.

Cabin

  • Cabin

The cabin where you will sleep, is a real cabin. It is designed as a refuge. At the top of the slope, there is a dormitory room with 6 single beds. Upstairs, accessible by a spiral staircase climbing around an oak tree, is an attic room with 2 double beds.

The beds have their own sheets, pillows and pillowcases. You bring your own comforter. The cabin is a sleeping place, it has no electricity. The dry toilets are outside. Bring a good flashlight for your travels after dark.

Below, it forms a sheltered terrace, with a view of the valley and the setting sun.

The dryer is a large wooden shed (88m²), clad in wood, stone and glass. A part of it is fitted out as a kitchen with worktops, sinks, gas stoves, fridge and tables. Everyone can cook there.

One part is a dining room with two large tables and benches.

Finally, sofas and armchairs allow you to relax and read, about 2000 books are at your disposal. A closed fireplace allows to create a hot spot if needed. The dryer is not thermally insulated. The floor is made of local sand.
The sanitary facilities
The bathroom has two showers and two sinks. It is placed under our house to facilitate the connections and to offer a solid environment. For those who prefer a wilder shower, the solar shower has a direct view of the valley. It is large enough to accommodate several people and has maximum sunlight.

Moreover, all our hot water is heated by the sun. The house is heated by direct solar panels.

There are three dry toilets: one close to our house, that's the one we use; one close to the dryer and one close to the hut. They are all usable in sitting position or in Turkish style.
The amenities
In the dryer, a power strip is a recharging station for cell phones and other items and several other sockets are available.

In the kitchen cupboard, you will find kitchen utensils, cutlery, glasses, plates, kettle, coffee maker, salt, pepper, oil etc. If you are missing some things or ingredients, there is a good chance that we can help you out.

We sell in season vegetables from the garden, my hydroalcoholic macerates, eggs, honey, dried plants.

Wifi is available in the house if needed.

Sheets and pillows with their cases are provided.

Toilet paper too.

Rules

Arrivals are preferably from 3 to 7 pm. The site is atypical and it is better to arrive during the day, especially with children. You will enjoy the place all the more. The departures are done before noon, it is always possible to have a picnic on the spot before leaving. The buildings are non-smoking. For security reasons, candles and other flames should not be lit inside, so of course there is no smoking. Smokers, please also keep your cigarette butts, for example in a small iron box. In summer, even outside, a fire can start quickly. Everyone must be careful for others and leave the place, dishes etc. clean. Everything is at your disposal and also at your attention, thank you. Horses and cats are allowed. Dogs are not allowed, even if they are very nice.
