So much to see and do .............:
This area really is rather special, in as much as, it truly does have something for everyone! We are in the ”Golden Triangle”, so called for the wealth of natural beauty and the assured warm welcome from locals. We are spoilt for choice, from cultural visits to adventure parks to kayaking to embarking on one of the interesting “discovery trails” the list and choice of activities is endless. Perfect picnic spots are plentiful with ample opportunity for river swimming and walking or hiking, as your mood takes you. For day trips there’s “Jura National Park” that stretches for miles along the Swiss border. When we first came to live here I was amazed at the diverse range of things to do, visit and participate in. So amazed in fact, that I created a little guidebook for visiting friends and family – needless to say the “little” guidebook soon became a “thick” guidebook. As you skim through it I’m sure you’ll agree with the title I finally gave it “A Week’s Not Long Enough”!
Why not a winter break? ...............:
Of course summer is, beyond doubt, a beautiful time of year here, with the green meadows, cows grazing and the smell of freshly cut hay wafting in the warm summer breeze. But wintertime in our little hamlet is also a haven. With double-glazing and central heating the barn conversion puts on a different hat – the exposed pine beams, that in summer feel cool and refreshing, become in winter, warm and cosy. We often get snow in winter and the nearest downhill ski resort is just 45 minutes drive and there is even an artificial slope there, should the weather not oblige!! Closer to home you can cross country ski or sledge down the nearby hills (a favourite past time with the locals). For those days when you just don’t want to budge, there’s French TV, video or DVD. Salins les Bains has a hole in the wall DVD dispenser. There is also a CD player and radio. Plus some games to wile away those lazy afternoons.
