    Description

    Hi, we live almost in the middle of nowhere, in the Ardèche region, not too far from Valence and Privas, in an old silk factory, our two boys (17 and 21) and 4 cats.
    We have many projects around the house and would like to share our space and experience.
    The house is located in a natural protected valley with various kind of nice landcapes, forests, old volcanos. The beautiful Auzène river is running through our garden.

    What else ...

    You have to be aware that we live rather far from towns or even villages. The closest shop, bakery, doctor... is 30' drive away. But you can hike through forests, mountains, along the river, ride a bicycle up and down the hill, swimm in the river or pool, or take a day trip to cities such as Valence, Lyon, Grenoble, or spend a couple of days in Avignon or Marseille.
    We are a non smoking house.
