Inspiring, culinary, nature and serenity

A charming house from 1875

Here is where you stay. It was originally a butcher’s shop and the village café of Saint Bérain. In the fireplace of the living room were always smoked sausages, and where the kitchen is now was formerly the butcher’s counter. Around the house there is a garden, a terrace with a magnificent view over the valley of the Gorges d’Allier and the small village. Furthermore, a sun terrace with a small swimming pool. With its basalt walls, the house is built in the typical robust style of the Auvergne. It is completely renovated. Four comfortable guest rooms were created, each with a private bathroom. The rooms are tastefully decorated and you will feel completely at home as a guest.

Bed & Breakfast

We welcome you in one of our four guest rooms with private bathrooms. The guest rooms have a view over Saint Bérain or the gorges d’Allier. During the renovations we chose to use as many environmentally friendly materials as possible. When furnishing the rooms we have used natural materials such as wood, rough plaster walls and lime paint, contrasting with contemporary elements, details and colours to deliver a surprising combination.
