This is our first season at Gites du Sorbier so exciting times!! We (Russell and Lucy) first came out to this area last summer and immediately fell in love with it! The local farmers' night markets, the stunning lakes and limitless forests, the warmness of the local people and the back to basic charm of a more rural existence, all pulled us in...6 months later we had sold up in the UK and moved here to start up a gite business. We have both travelled across the globe over the years, throughout Asia, around Europe and Africa and experienced a wide variety of cultures and very differing standards of accommodation!! Our aim is to provide simplicity with luxury...We also understand how sometimes you want to do nothing but relax on holiday, sometimes you want to explore, and everything in between. Conveniently next door, we are there if you want help, input, advice, ideas!! Or we can leave you to it, if you want privacy and quiet..
