About this cottage rental
Le Grand Bois is a historic farmhouse located at an elevation of 900 meters, surrounded by nature in the heart of the Livradois-Forez Regional Nature Park!
The Gîte du Grand Bois consists of two houses:
- the Micha House: a detached house facing the private pool, with sleeping space for 5 on the upper floor: a private bedroom for 2 and a dormitory for 3 people with a single bed and a bunk bed.
- the Kétho House: an attached house located 50 m from the first cottage, sleeping 6–7: a separate ground-floor bedroom for 2 people, and a dormitory upstairs for 4–5 people with a double bed and two single beds
Both units are rented together in the summer (Please contact us for rental rates for stays of several weeks)
Completely renovated in 2010 and 2017, the vacation rentals offer all modern indoor comforts as well as a tree-lined garden with a terrace and swimming pool (open from May through late September and heated from June through September)
Whether with family or friends, Le Grand Bois is the ideal place to breathe in the fresh air, recharge in a peaceful setting, and enjoy the region’s many activities.
Pets are welcome at no extra charge, and a 1-hectare plot secured by an electric fence can be made available for your horses.
See you soon at Le Grand Bois!

8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2017
We spent a really relaxing week in this away cosy cottage. The heated pool is fantastic – our first four days were very hot and it was brilliant to be able to use the pool to relax and cool off. The grounds around the cottage are mainly meadow with some wonderful old trees and also an abundance of buddleia bushes which attracted a wide variety of butterflies. We were welcomed with a gift of goats cheese from the creamery along the lane and some honey from Lucas's hives!
Everything in the house is very clean and functions as it should, although a little small in the cottage, we were able to make use of the annex as we were four adults. Both had excellent shower and bathroom facilities and everything you could need on holiday. The outside space was fabulous.
Our only issue was that one night, some large hornets came into the house attracted by the lights – but we were able to remove them and were careful to keep the doors closed when the lights were on after that! We also found the cottage very hot, an electric fan for the hot nights would have been welcome, but as it got cooler later in the week this wasn't an issue.
It really is a beautiful place and we found the peace and quiet very relaxing. The surrounding towns and villages were also quiet as a lot of the traders seemed to choose the week we visited to take their own holidays – after the main holiday season was over we guessed! We didn't have time to fully explore and would love to return to find out more about the region one day.
Thank you, Lucas and family, for the use of your wonderful holiday cottage.
Karen, Julian, Katy and Roger.
