Description for B&B:
Situated in a charming hamlet nestled between Lyon (home to 2 million inhabitants, just a 45-minute drive away) and Saint-Etienne (with a population of 220,000, only 20 minutes away), this house perches atop a hill, offering breathtaking views of the Gier valley. Facing southward, the scenery is truly unparalleled, with the majestic mountains of the Pilat Natural Park standing proudly before us. On clear and sunny days, the fortunate ones might even catch a glimpse of the magnificent Alps and the iconic Mont Blanc in the distance. Ideally located just off the GR7, a national trail beloved by backpackers, this haven known as Croix Blanche warmly welcomes not only hikers but also cyclists, equestrians, and other adventurers. Whether you seek thrilling outdoor activities or simply crave a tranquil spot to unwind and indulge in leisurely days, this idyllic setting provides it all.Description for Gite
