…a stream babbles under the small stone bridge, a large boulder just barely making it to the other side. You climb the old stone steps and venture across the bridge, the stream babbling even louder beneath you. The meadows stretch out before you, and you continue along the path beneath the trees. You encounter friendly grazing cows, and above you soars a large bird; is it a red kite or a buzzard?

The Livradois Forez Regional Nature Park is a low mountain range with vast green fields, ancient volcanoes, medieval castles, picturesque villages, and diverse forests.
The area is endlessly expansive and diverse in terms of rugged terrain, exceptional biodiversity, beauty, and elevation changes!

We offer several walks to choose from during your stay.

The walks are rated level 2 or 3 and are between 8 and 15 km long. 2.5 to 4.5 hours of walking.

What you can expect:

• Beautiful vistas
• A variety of forests, mountains, and meadows
• Historic sites
• At a considerable altitude

The accommodation is located in the Haute Loire department, with the transition to the Puy de Dôme department just 3 kilometers away. Therefore, hikes are available in both departments.

La Fougeraie is an old castle farm next to the Château de Folgoux (1344) and is situated in a wooded area near the village of La Chaise Dieu at an altitude of 950 meters. The castle boasts a vast estate with expansive forests and meadows.

The French-international atmosphere is evident in the decor and in our cuisine. Enjoy the sun and a drink in the guest garden or by the pool. And for cozy evenings, there's a large lounge overlooking the castle gardens.

You can stay in the Afrique room, furnished in African style with a king-size bed, or in the charming Andaluza Suite with an additional lounge, kitchenette, and private garden.
