Our closest village is Lescheraines, just a couple of km down the road with boulangerie, small supermarket, butcher, post office, tourist office and Tuesday market for local produce.
Nearby Le Chatelard is easily accessible but still remains unspoilt and retains a certain charm with its old store fronts and little alleys leading up towards the church. It is a quiet, friendly village with a supermarket, bakery, bar and hotel/restaurant, tourist information, bank and post office and a local food market every Friday morning. The Massif des Bauges is an area of outstanding natural beauty, heritage and tradition and makes a great base to explore a wide range of outdoor activities or to simply relax. The French will wonder how you discovered their secret resort! Walking is outstanding here. Summer cycling is amazing with awesome routes for mountain bikes and local routes are used by pro's for the Tour de France. Photographers and ramblers will love the amazing light offered in Les Bauges for spectacular pictures of the local wildlife, butterflies fauna and flora.
We fell in love with this landscape and the many outdoor activities we could enjoy living here. In addition this spot is perfectly peaceful and has great views. This area, the Massif des Bauges has recently been nominated as a national park in France and is outstandingly beautiful. In addition the people are friendly, welcoming and proud of their area and the produce of this region.
