In the 18th century Le Vieux Relais was a coaching station situated on the corner of the village square. Today it is a well situated relaxing oasis that affords a unique insight into French village life. Le Vieux Relais makes an ideal base for off-season visitors. The house is very much a home as we live here year round. We have updated the premises with some unique amenities to provide maximum comfort for our guests at any time of the year, with central heating, to provide a comfortable environment in the cooler months and ceiling fans which add greatly to guests' comfort in the summer heat.

We know from personal experience that comfortable bedrooms can make or break a holiday and you will find very large rooms that are thoughtfully furnished with mostly king size beds, ensuite bathrooms, and seating areas. One of the guest bedrooms is on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard making it ideal for less able guests who find it difficult to climb stairs. There is also a suite which is particularly suitable for families with small children as the second bedroom can only be accessed through the master bedroom.

Weekly rental with a difference!
The house is available for rent by the week in high season with the added advantage that you get us too!

We provide a catered service to our guests which is best described as the sort of service you would get in a ski chalet, allowing the whole party to put their feet up and relax while being looked after unobtrusively - basically all the advantages of self-catering with none of the hassle! We cook fresh local produce and all you have to do is tell us if you are allergic to anything, or if there is anything you don’t eat and we agree a budget with you and take it from there - sounds like heaven for busy mums!

In fact one of the nicest testimonials we have received is from a mum who works full time and has three lively teenage sons who said that it was lovely ‘not to have to do the thinking’ about what to eat but still be able to wonder into the kitchen - glass in hand of course! - and participate if she wanted to!

Rates for July and August are 3,000 euros per week for up to 11 adults and 5 children plus whatever you’d like to spend on food and drink. For details of individual rooms and rates, please see the accommodation page.

Eat in or out!

In summer guests can enjoy meals outside in the pretty courtyard garden or under cover on our colonnaded terrace if the sun gets too hot! A four-course meal is available at least five nights each week and Mike's delicious barbecues are a feature of the long summer evenings. In winter meals are served in the large dining room and there is a very relaxing guest lounge available year round with satellite TV and plenty of books where pre-dinner drinks are served when we eat inside. We can provide picnic lunches made up of fresh local produce for our guests to sustain them on days out and we include homemade hot soup in winter.
