There is a chicken run with sturdy wooden hen house and storage shed. A small masonry shed provides storage for garden equipment with an outside tap.

Surprisingly for a tiny village in the mountains, the house is connected to the mains sewage system.

The village is small and friendly with a mixture of French and international inhabitants. It is situated just a short drive from the local lake where it is a genuine pleasure to swim in the summer or take a walk at any time of year. Within a 20-30 minute drive, access to several villages and small towns with a variety of services and commodities.
The local landscape is a mixture of pasture land and forest at an altitude which ensures temperatures several degrees below those experienced on the plains and down towards the Mediterranean. This, coupled with the plentiful supply of water under and on the land helps to ensure that the landscape remains green almost all year round.
Occasional winter snows provide a pleasant sense of still experiencing four distinct seasons. Summers can be very warm and springtime is filled with the scent of violets, mint, thyme and pine.
