About
Le Clos des Pierres Rouges is a charming rural home‑stay nestled in the tranquil village of Saint‑Privat‑d’Allier, Auvergne. Set on the historic GR 65 pilgrimage route and overlooking the picturesque Allier gorge, the property offers a harmonious blend of rustic farmhouse heritage and contemporary comforts. The renovated 2009 buildings feature three cozy double rooms – Chez Léontine, Vellave, and Chez Tsoussou – each furnished with queen‑size beds, private bathrooms, and a touch of local décor. Guests can enjoy locally‑produced breakfasts, a seasonal table d’hôtes, and the distinctive hospitality of owners Sylvie and Thierry. With its sequestered garden, nearby lake, and easy access to hiking trails and the Saint‑Jacques pilgrimage path, Le Clos des Pierres Rouges offers an idyllic escape for travelers seeking serenity, culinary delights, and a genuine French countryside experience.
