About this house rental
You will be staying in a former barn, once part of the neighboring small château, which was converted in the 2000s into two cozy and comfortable living spaces designed for your stay.
The property consists of two gîtes: "Shabby Blue" for a couple, and "Rosa Bonheur" for a couple, with a trundle bed (sleeps 2) in the attic, plus 2 additional places on a futon sofa in the living area.
Why Rosa Bonheur?
Born in 1822, Marie-Rosalie Bonheur was a French painter and sculptor renowned for her realistic depictions of animals. She spent much of her life in Cantal, a mountainous rural region of central France. The picturesque landscapes and farming traditions of Cantal deeply influenced her work. Here, she found inspiration for her paintings, capturing the beauty and dignity of farm animals, horses, and rural life. Her most famous painting, "The Horse Fair," showcases her exceptional talent and love for animals. Rosa Bonheur immortalized the simplicity and nobility of Cantal’s rural life, leaving an invaluable artistic legacy.
