La Tourelle is in upper Colombotte. Long ago it was a fortified farmhouse dominating the village; it has been converted, with much respect for its original appearance, into a chambres et tables d’hôtes – the French version of bed-and-breakfast. It is an ideal startingpoint for walking- and cycling-tours. Rooms in La Tourelle From the beginning of spring 2004 the farmhouse will be available for guests too. The rooms here will be more comfortable and they will all have their own bathroom. Two of them can even accommodate small families. The common room downstairs has a fire-side, a large reading/dinner table and cosy corners with a more intimate atmosphere Rooms in la Grange La Grange is the former hay-barn with stables. In 2003 it was transformed into an accomodation ready to welcome guests and groups of up to 20 persons. On what used to be the hay-loft, there are now six simple double bedrooms with two common bathrooms and toilets. The empty space a little bit higher, the so-called vide, is a place to relax; from there you have a grand view of the hill-side. Caracabane Near the edge of the wood, quite near the village, we have our big caravan that can accomodate four people. It is camouflaged with wooden planks so that it looks like a log-cabin. It has a bed-room, a kitchen-sink, a dining-table and comfortable seats. There is an eco-toilet near the caravan, electricity and running water (not fit for drinking though). Near the caravan there is room enough for a small tent (for the children). The view is great and around the caravan there is ample space. You can prepare your own food, either in the kitchen or on the barbecue, but you can also join the meals at La Tourelle. La Tourelle is at about 200 metres; here you can also get drinking-water and take a shower. There is a possibility to hire sheets and blankets and even bikes. Camping On the grounds of La Tourelle there is also room for six little tents for campers. Breakfast is being served, and campers are also welcome to join the evening meal at the farm.
