This lovely stone building is where once upon a time silk worms were raised to provide silk, one of the basic industries of this region. It has been beautifully converted into 6 gites, which altogether can sleep 33 people. Each gite has independent access. In addition there is the the ground floor living quarters for the owners...however this could be converted into a 7th gite, or into a multi purpose area (meeting room, sitting room, etc) if the gites were marketed for large groups (anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations).
There is a restaurant with a licence, in the main building, which can hold up to 20 covers. In the season, there are 60 covers on the terrace. There is a professional kitchen, a large larder area, and a "bar". There is a swimming pool adjacent, and in the village, in summer, there is a restaurant and bar by the river, where people go to swim.
