L 'Alouette - Converted Barn
Sleeps up to 8

The setting

The countryside is peppered with plum orchards which ripen for picking around the middle of August. The bulk of these are taken to be dried or half dried to make the prunes for which this area is famous (try the chocolate covered ones!) They are used in many local dishes along with hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts.
