The Hamlet - The house is at the end of a private lane on the edge of Carlevaux, a small dairy farming community of around 12 houses. The main farm is to the rear of the property. The house is on the south facing slope of the beautiful valley of the River Arz and is bounded by woods and open fields. The River boasts some of the best fishing in the region - you do need a permit to fish - obtainable from our local village...
