Le Chant de la Rivière

Annie welcomes you to a comfortable contemporary house nestled on the edge of a small quiet alley in a dead end, in the hollow of a pleasant preserved rural setting on the edge of bocage & meadows, a stone's throw from the Drée (and a ford) bucolic river full of fish. Quiet residential area adjoining the center of the charming typical & commercial village of Epinac (many amenities on site), major mining city of the end of the 19th century (industrial site of glass & coal production) associated with one of the oldest railway lines in France (of which the station remains). Today labeled "Green Station" (ecotourism label of reference for "nature" destinations), the city offers a rich industrial heritage (dedicated museum, "Circuit des gueules noires" leading to the 10 most important old wells, many remains including the unmissable Puit Hottinguer perfectly preserved ...), a multi-activity leisure center, a developed fishing pond (with picnic areas at the water's edge), many marked hiking trails (green walks) including a "nature trail" with botanical trail to discover the local fauna & flora, and enjoys a magnificent preserved landscaped setting of gentle mountains alternating green hilly bocage & vast wild forests.
