Housed in a carefully renovated stone farmhouse, Le Poulailler offers 130 m² of space and comfort to accommodate up to 8 people. The 40 m² living area combines a fully equipped kitchen, a convivial dining space, and a warm lounge where wood and exposed stone create an authentic atmosphere. A ground-floor bedroom features a 140 cm double bed and a 90 cm single bed, ideal for everyday convenience. Upstairs, a second lounge provides an additional pleasant relaxation space. Two bedrooms under the exposed beams accommodate three 90 cm single beds and four 90 cm single beds respectively, which can be joined together as needed.

Your host:
Over 20 years ago, we decided to change our lives and join the family farm. We were driven by the desire to be part of sustainable agriculture, respectful of the environment and close to the consumer.

Today, our farm, which focuses heavily on direct sales, supplies five farmers' markets with poultry and poultry-based prepared products, as well as dairy products. We also cook our own products for the menu at our farm-inn. Our business provides employment for 10 people, all thanks to small, human-scale operations. We can say we've achieved our goal!

But we don't stop there: a few years ago, we partnered with neighboring farmers to create a methanization unit to transform our animal manure into natural gas. Less greenhouse gas, renewable energy for the stove, less odor—it's a win-win!

Our gîtes also reflect this commitment to sustainability and community: they have given a second life to former farm buildings and allow us to welcome many visitors with whom we enjoy building relationships. We love hosting our guests and sharing good food with them (we have a real sweet tooth!).
Finally, we are both deeply involved in representing our profession, advocating for our ideas and those of our colleagues, and working, in our own small way, towards a sustainable and equitable future.
