Location, location, location.:
Nans is too far from any major town to be a dormitory village. Salins-les-Bains is 15 minutes’ drive away and offers a spa and other attractions, plus reasonable shopping facilities and a choice of restaurants. Heading north, the city of Besançon (45 minutes) has loads to see and do. To the west, Dijon and the Burgundy region are within easy motoring distance. Switzerland is an hour’s drive southeastwards via Pontarlier, which is also the gateway to tranquil Lac Saint-Point and the ski slopes around Métabief/Mont d’Or. The trendier resort of Les Russes is a similar distance away, in the direction of Geneva. For more activity and excursion suggestions, browse the folder with brochures and flyers kept at the house.
Get away from it all... and stay in the loop.:
Bring a laptop or other WiFi-capable device and you'll have full internet access. Mobile phones: strong signal from Bouygues Telecom at the house, although the valley terrain makes for variable reception in and around the village.
A house for all seasons.:
Double-glazed and centrally heated, indoors stays comfortable when the weather closes in - which it sometimes really can! There is a stash of logs for the fireplace, books in a variety of languages, puzzles, games, an upright piano... or bring your own favourite music on LP or CD for a '70s-retro stereo listening experience; DVDs look and sound quite good, too!
Other Activities:
rock climbing, pot-holing, river bathing, canoeing
