Manoir La Gozinière - Self-catering apartment in Allier
Les Gozinières, 03350 Theneuille, Allier
Auvergne,
Francia
There is a Renoir-like majesty here: acres of orchard and private parkland, and a 1750s manor house with a separate wing for guests. Peter and Carolyn, charming, funny, erudite and utterly English, love this rural spot. Inside your one-storey gite, floors are tiled and walls plastered, there are pretty paintings and French antiques, and fabrics softly striped or checked. You enter from the garden side through one or other of the bedrooms. The kitchen is neat and cool with turquoise tiles, there's a day bed to lounge on and gentle sunlight filters into the courtyard. Living next to your hosts you can share their space including the pool, providing blissful refuge from the sun. With a well-equipped artist's studio on site, this would be a brilliant retreat for creative types, and in any season. Wander the orchard or roam beyond - there are five acres of parkland here, and markets, churches and châteaux beyond. It is cosy, pretty, and quintessentially French.

Local points of interest from Peter & Carolyn Bear:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Peter & Carolyn Bear:
- Just over 3 hours from Paris and you're lost in the depths of rural France with 5 acres of private 'parc' to relax in, write your novel, paint a landscape, all surrounded by meadows and fields. Very peaceful, very agricultural - like England 50 years ago!
- Local antiques 'brocantes' each weekend in nearby villages - with fascinating French bric-a-brac bargains. Or Street Art City. Plus music festivals in Souvigny and Chatelroy and many nearby churches. Or just relax by the private pool
- Wonderful country walks. Europe's largest oak forest (Foret de Troncais) is almost on our doorstep, providing your own cepes harvest in season. Off-season is perfect for walkers or painters who can use the well-lit studio in the grounds.
- Our Department (Allier) in North Auvergne has the most chateaux in France (after the Loire and Dordogne). The famous spa town of Vichy is an hour's drive - perfect day trip with its stunning opera house and long river walk.
- Gorgeous chateaux and gardens to visit - for example at Chateau Ainay Le Vieil and the Priory at Orsan. Every village has an 11th Century church. Souvigny abbey, Bourges and Moulins cathedrals are 'musts' as are the Museum of Costume and its Nureyev room.
- Children adore a day out at Vulcania or the massive eco-zoo and theme park for all ages at Le Pal as well as the zipwire and velorail nearby. Plus a virtual reality dinosaur experience!
