Locked in between the Ardeche and the Cevennes region the department
“la Haute Loire”(43), is one of the least populated of France.
The hamlet of Tailhac, where our farm is situated, lies surrounded by
forest in the southwestern part of the Haute Loire.
Here time seems to have stood still. Around the old 15th century
church you find the “mairie”, the old school and some old farms and
one of them is our 200 years old “Les deux Noyers”. All this is
surrounded by silence, dozens of kilometers of hikingtracks, bicycle
- and moutainbike possibilities and picturesque villages ready to be
discovered.
Whitin a few kilometers from “Les deux Noyers” is the little
medieval city of Langeac,
which offers you “tous commerces”.
Except modern supermarkets you will find other shops, restaurants and
always something to do: - “Brocante”, markets, a music festival, a
village fair, a parade or fireworks on the borders of the river
Allier. This river, that runs along Langeac through the beautiful
“Gorges de Haute Allier”, with rapids and small beaches and perfect
possibilities for canoe, kayak and rafting, and these waters are also
famous for its fishing on salmon and trout.
