La Grande Maison is situated a stone's throw from the medieval centre of Chénérailles, which was an important town in pre-Revolutionary France. We are working with Gîtes de France and should soon get 3 épis, or possibly 4. Our 19th century house has been sympathetically restored, keeping many original features where possible, and decorated to a high standard – reflecting our passion for Art Deco.
The Dining Room
The Courtyard
La Grande Rue about a century ago, with La Grande Maison on the right - it has had various incarnations over the years.
The view in the opposite direction at about the same time looking towards the church with La Grande Maison on the bend.
La Grande Rue looking towards the church; La Grande Maison is on the left.
There is an attractive sun-drenched courtyard at the back, where flowers flourish and we grow our own tomatoes. Guests can sit in the shade and enjoy an aperitif.
The granite-built house has a long history and appears in several postcards of Chénérailles produced in the early 1900s. The images below are from the collection of the late Pierre Lavédrine, a former Mayor of Chénérailles, to whom we are very grateful.
