Description for B&B:
She was known as "the Vierzou," and her home was a place where people willingly gathered to enjoy roasted barley and herbal tea while engaging in pleasant conversations. Over the course of years and even centuries, the passage of time took its toll.Not too long ago, one of her great grandchildren felt a strong desire to revive the legacy of "la Vierzou" by settling in her ancestral home. Thus, in the 21st century, one can still find solace and tranquility in the heart of Auvergne - a region often referred to as the "Midi du Auvergne" in tourist brochures. This village, situated 900 meters above sea level and inhabited by a mere 30 residents, offers a haven away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Nestled within this early 1800s house, which has been lovingly restored using environmentally-friendly materials, one can truly escape from all forms of pollution. The absence of a television further emphasizes the retreat from the noise and distractions of the outside world.
