There are flights with BA and Easy Jet from Heathrow or Gatwick to LYON (1.5 hour drive to the house) where car rental is available. I rent from Holiday Autos.co.uk.

St Remy is a beautiful 15 mins drive downhill to the medieval town of Thiers, capital of knife-making in France. In nearby Vichy a sophisticated life style is available with its spa, opera, ballet, designer shops, horse racing and water sport. St Etienne, Clermont Ferrand and Lyon are also within easy drive. The Puy de Dome, the highest mountain in the area is a must to visit. There are also many festivals to join in during July and August..

Great holiday

Reservation was very easy , lots of communication with the owner before our arrival . The village has local shops . Every morning, one of us would go to buy the croissants at boulangerie and by the time he returned coffee was ready. The house is in the middle of the village . Very comfortable accommodation with lots of light , good linen and towels, kitchen stocked with minimum needed. Lots of windows and doors we did not suffer from the heat. We will return.

A comfortable home in a beautiful setting

We found the house extremely comfortable: a very pleasant and spacious home from home, with everything we needed and in a convenient location. Nadege the housekeeper welcomed us with home made biscuits and we lacked for nothing. The area was stunning and we enjoyed many beautiful walks in the mild, dry weather. We went up Puy de Dome by train, but walked up Puy de Pariou and this was probably our highlight, because of the stunning views. We also did several local walks and found the information we obtained from the Livradois- Forez National Park information centre at St Gervais sous Meymont invaluable. We bought a book of suggested walks from there. We loved Thiers and had a wonderful meal at La Belle Excuse. In fact, we fell in love with the whole region because of the variety of the beautiful landscape and the richness of the wildlife. We will never forget the wood full of cyclamen near Donat or the view from the top of La Roche de Volpe near Ambert. We would highly recommend a holiday here. Thank you Anne Marie.

Village with Views

We loved St Remy! The accommodation was comfortable and we had everything we wanted. A small terrace, surrounded by a yew hedge, was ideal for eating outside.The bread shop was a two minute walk and one of the two small supermarkets stocked wonderful local butter. The lake is a 5 minute drive ( or short walk ) and has restaurants/ cafes. We were a little early in the season for evening openings, and that also applied to the Pizzeria in the village, which was actually being refurbished. There is a hotel/ restaurant in the centre of the village, but this was having some serious renovation work, and we were not entirely certain as to whether it was going to reopen as a hotel, or being converted into flats. However, Thiers is only 5 miles away if you wanted to eat out. There are numerous walks from the village, and around the lake. Do take the electric cog railway up the Puy de Dome, as the views are fantastic. Or, of course, you could always walk up!! The whole area is very picturesque and the mountain scenery is superb.

Great time in a GREAT home

We had a great time in this lovely village trying our basic french on the locals.... We enjoyed on recommendation from the owner,, going to the local farm to buy milk, butter, eggs etc ...We had not done that before. The house was very clean and most comfortable with good linen and china. The housekeeper welcomed us with home made cookies !! We look forward returning another time.

GREAT CHOICE -

Dear Anne, I just wanted to tell you that we had a really good holiday in St Remy last week. The house was very comfortable and the weather much better than we had any right to expect - there was really only one day that was a complete washout, the Tuesday (I see wet public holidays are not just a British tradition!) and Thurs & Fri it was very summery (30C). So we were able to do a lot of sightseeing both in the Livradois Forez area and in the Volcanoes National Park. Thank you
