Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | 1 Cat

We have one cat, he is 1 year old. He is not a fussy eater and needs feeding three time a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner! He likes to go out but we don't have a cat flap so he need to be let in or have the side door left open if you are in the downstairs area. However he is also happy to sleep inside if you go out for a few hours! Although he goes out occasionally he may use his litter tray - especially overnight (he is still young). We would be grateful if you would water the patio pots, window boxes and our flower and vegetable gardens as well. There are veg and salads in the gardens, which you can eat!

Near a train station

It is very peaceful here, we are in a small hamlet at 900 metres above St Michel de Maurienne. It is a 15 minute walk to the town (and about 30 minutes back!) which has a supermarket, a market on Fridays and other shops and a couple of restaurants. There is a train station (St Michel Valloire) and St Jean De Maurieen is about 10 minutes away. There is a good market here on Saturday and more restaurants. Chambery is about an hour away by train. We have a great terrace off the kitchen which a perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner and for relaxing on and admiring the amazing views. The garden is good for pottering! Our neighbours are lovely and very happy to help but don't really speak English. There is fab walking all around, we can just walk from the house and do some great walks or drive to other close by areas to walk.

Tourism and Leisure

Museum
Theater
Opera

There are lots of places to discover here, mountain walks, swimming lakes, ancient towns with lots of history, forts and much more. It is a relatively unknown area for foreigners, which makes it all the more interesting. Chambery and Albertville are about an hour away, Lyon is two hours away and Turin about 1 and a quarter hours by train. There are charming mountain towns further up the valley, e.g. Bonneval, Brahmans etc. Our friends love coming here!

Très bon séjour chez Camilla et Ed. Le chat Wiggle est adorable et très sociable, la maison très confortable. et les salades du potager délicieuses. Très bons conseils de Ed pour des randonnées en montagne. Une première expérience Nomador très réussie !
