La Barule - Bed & Breakfast in Drôme
Gîte dans la Drôme provençale
40 rue du Pâtis, 26460 Charols, Drôme
Rhône Valley - Alps,
Francia
A quiet medieval village with twisting streets and the pretty river Roubion running through it. There are Roman remains, a super bakery and some smart restaurants, all within walking distance. The shared sitting room has comfy seating, the dining room has a large table and plenty of board games, and you're welcome to use the kitchen – it's a friendly sort of place.
Bedrooms, two with their own terrace, are generous in size, each with a small drinks fridge and gorgeous en suite bathrooms with Japanese loos. Wake to breakfast (which is at an extra charge) either inside or on the top floor terrace: tuck into cheese, seasonal fruit, charcuterie, pastries and homemade jams while you gaze at the views of the Drôme hills and mountains.
There are good walks and cycles (on your own or guided), bikes to hire with safe storage, and massages can be booked. Return to the pretty walled courtyard and rest under the fig tree listening to birdsong and the tinkling fountain.

- La Barule is the perfect base to explore the Drôme: from the Vercors and Baronnies parks to the Saoû forest, with stunning landscapes, hilltop villages, the Crest tower, Grignan castle, and vineyards of the Rhône Valley all nearby.
