    We recently had the pleasure of vacationing at L'Oustal du Viaur, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly welcome from our host set the tone for a perfect stay. The accommodation itself was charming and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully catered to ensure a relaxing time.
    One of the standout features was how child-friendly the property was. It was clear that great care had been taken to make sure families felt at home. The kids had plenty of space to play and explore.
    The surrounding area is picturesque and peaceful, ideal for those looking to unwind and enjoy nature. L'Oustal du Viaur exceeded our expectations in every way, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a family-friendly getaway with a personal touch.
    Thank you Julie, Andy and Luna the dog!

Further remarks

If you don’t know the area it is well worth the effort to discover. If you have been already - then it speaks for itself. Ripe for tourism but as yet unspoilt, our visitors are amazed at how much there is to do and see here - and yet you remain in a very traditional unique area of rural France.

New for 2021 we have a little auberge resteraunt in the village serving great meals at good prices. They also do vegetable boxes of seasonal vegetables starting at 15€.
