Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet houses sitting dans la campagne et en même temps proche de la ville. La maison est vraiment très bien, propre avec tout ce qu'il faut pour y vivre. Nous avons adoré les chèvres. Nous avions une belle vue sur les alentours. La vie est agréable et paisible dans ce lieu plein de verdure et entouré de potagers. Les propriétaires sont très sympas et la communication est très facile, nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement. Je recommande vivement cet house sitting. Philippe

Super séjour chez Brigitte. Le contact est fluide, la maison super agréable et les chats très calins !! Au top :)

We had a truly excellent time at Brigitte and Gille's home! They are both very warm and hospitable ... we immediately felt at home when we arrived at their place! The house is a rustic beauty and very well-equipped. You have everything you need at home. In winter, you will need to heat the house using the stove in the fireplace, as only the floor is heated centrally. Requires a little muscle! They also have a large garden that yields many crops that you can eat! You will find every herb you ever knew about in that garden, and many more that you never even heard of! You will need to water the plants and take care of the greenhouse - some light work daily! And the lovely cat Lili will accompany you when you do it, making every moment a joy! Brigitte and Gilles were very generous in letting us eat from the garden when we were there. There is a small pond with fish, which you must also feed every day. The animals are so loving and affectionate. The goats were adorable and it was a joy to feed them twice a day. I looked forward to visiting them. They always ran towards us and wanted to be petted. The cats are very independent but also loving and affectionate. And the dog - Genepi - is a most special dog! He will teach you a lot of life lessons if you spend enough time walking with him. He is the gentlest creature, with a strong mind of his own. We went for walks with him up to 3 or 4 times a day! He is an elderly dog, but still very active. The area around Marcoux is also rustic and bucolic. We went on daily long and peaceful walks up the mountain. Neighbours are very friendly and kind. It is about a 30-minute walk to the town of Firminy, where you can find everything you need. The small Biocoop is a lovely little shop with many organic products and produce. It was helpful for us to have a car while we were there. You can visit surrounding towns more easily, such as St. Etienne, Lyon, or Montbrison, although it is still very possible to do it by bus/train. You will have a beautiful time at Brigitte and Gilles! You will really find peace and quiet and relaxation. And you will meet a remarkable couple and make life-long friends! ~~~ Nous avons passé un magnifique vacances chez Brigitte et Gilles! Ils sont tous les deux très chaleureux et accueillants ... nous nous sommes sentis immédiatement chez nous! La maison est une beauté rustique et très bien équipée. Vous avez tout ce dont vous avez besoin à la maison. En hiver, vous devrez cha

Brigitte was very welcoming and gave us all relevant information to make our stay enjoyable and mutually satisfying. The house and the area are fantastic, great walking trails all around and the town is famous for its Le Corbusier architecture. Brigitte took us to a local organic grocery as they are both eco-conscious and support local and organic farming . Animals are very affectionate.. Mountain sports enthusiasts so you can pick their brains about this.
