- Sleeping facilities for 2 people (double bed)
- Bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchenette,
courtyard with BBQ and access to garden
The cottage has 2 floors, both with large fireplaces. Upstairs
is the dining-room with a large old table, the kitchenette and the
bathroom. From the upper floor there is direct access to the part
of a large garden which belongs to the cottage.
Downstairs is the bedroom with an old typical French bed (130 cm)
and two lounge chairs next to the elevated fire-place. Outside is
a small walled courtyard with vines on the walls, deck furniture
and a BBQ.
The village “auberge” is just opposite, and they serve
very good and modestly priced regional food. For even better fare,
there are a large number of very reasonably-priced restaurants in
neighbouring villages.
A bit of history:
Until 1934, this house belonged to the Marquis
de Salvert de Bellenaves. It is situated on the location of the
castle's old vineyard and is 100 m from its gates. In old
times it was inhabited by 2 families working at the castle. During
WW2, it housed Belgian refugees and was lately occupied by an old
lady whose livelihood was the collection and tanning of rabbit (Lapin
in French) skins, thereby its name.
