Thriving Business
Since acquiring the property a number of years ago, the present owners have built up a very successful Gîte, Table d'hôte
and Campsite business, fully registered and accredited - now for sale as a going concern, and still with potential for
further development if desired.

This property is located in the south of the Allier, the northern department of the beautiful Auvergne region. The Allier
is an emerging tourist area and over the last couple of years there has been much publicity for this department and an
improving motorway network means that the area is well-served with both north-south and east-west routes. The property
itself is 7 km from the A71 motorway (Paris - Clermont-Ferrand).

There are all manner of tourist facilities in the area. The Allier attracts visitors for almost every sport from
skydiving to rock climbing and cycling as well as the gentler pastime of walking. For walkers, there are miles of hiking
trails directly from the front door. Beautiful castles and old medieval towns abound for those with an interest in
history or architecture.

Local Information
The nearest village is Montmarault, which has everything for basic daily requirements: Carrefour, petrol station, bakery,
garage, café and schools. There is a handful of smaller hamlets close by, but these have little in terms of facilities.

The nearest large towns are Montluçon, Vichy and Moulins. These are the principal cities of the Allier department, with
everything you would expect from large towns in terms of facilities and services, culture, history, shopping, markets,
restaurants, bars, cafés and more. Montluçon is the obvious choice for major shopping trips, with Moulins and Vichy a
little further away for more variety. The truly great and beautiful city of Clermont-Ferrand, steeped in history, and
surrounded by a chain of volcanoes, is 83 km from the property (about 55 mins by car).

Equestrian facilities such as feed merchants, vets and farriers are all within 7km.

Schools
Nursery school, primary schools (public and private), and high school in Montmarault (6.5 km). Other small primary
schools within 3 to 4 km, and more high schools from 9 to 12 km. College for higher education, 24 km (15 miles), and
several in Montluçon.

Rural Life in the Allier
The Allier is a land of gently undulating hills and valleys, thick with forests and streams, and threaded by several of
France’s great rivers, the Loire, the Cher and the Allier itself. It is famous for the purity of its air and water. The
people are friendly and always ready to chat about the weather, food and drink, fishing or hunting. Life is simple;
neighbours help each other with anything from working the land to a spot of building, and exchange all sorts of rural
produce. This is a land where nature still reigns, a paradise for cyclists, hikers, horse riders and others, such as bird
watchers and anglers.

The property lies at the end of a small road, but is not isolated, with magnificent views over the countryside of the
"Bocage Bourbonnais".
