You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 25-minute drive to Parc Naturel Regional Livradois-Forez or the 4-minute drive to Parc Animalier d'Auvergne (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink in the garden, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, stereo, DVD player, and music library.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include toilet paper, soap, and shampoo. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
