La Maison de Floréline

Chantal, an amateur painter and paper lace expert, and Patrick welcome you to a delightful mansion dating from 1830, steeped in history and carefully restored, set in a vast enclosed property of 1.5 hectares with century-old trees (redwoods, Lebanon cedar, etc.)..), nestling on the banks of the Canal du Centre linking Roanne to Digoin, a beautiful navigable route winding through the countryside, to be explored by boat, on foot or by bike (direct access to the towpath from the property). Charming, quiet, typical village nestling in the hollow of the ceramics valley (listed brickworks to visit on site), in the heart of a splendid, unspoilt natural setting of rolling hills alternating with hedged farmland, meadows, rivers, ponds and forests. Spacious, comfortable suites. Enormous charm and character. Soft, refined ambience combining the historic "bourgeois" soul of the place with a warm "shabby-chic" cachet. Ultra cosy and cocooning. Pleasant grounds planted with trees and flowers, laid out in a "natural" style with a mini forest, a vegetable and herb garden, various rest areas and a large exposed gravel terrace in the shade.
