The Monteil

Ferme biologique de découverte

For 500 years, the Durianne fortified house has been located at the gates of Puy en Velay at the entrance to the Loire gorges.
Guided tour by reservation only (minimum 4 people): exterior of the castle, garden, sheepfold, vegetable garden.
The eco-bohemian castle puts on a show.
The chatelaine is passionate about protecting heritage of all kinds. Also, she created around the castle, in 2009, a small organic peasant farm and mixed farming conservatory. Here, in Durianne, rare animals come across: 80 bizet sheep, horses from Auvergne, geese from Toulouse, maran chickens, black pigs from Limousin, rare birds of the sky, glow worms, bats... . Yes yes, the wild animals were not mistaken; They quickly spotted this haven of peace without any chemistry. The 1000 trees planted in recent years confirm this desire to help biodiversity. The creation of this very small private nature reserve was possible thanks to you. Françoise is also very involved in the associative world and welcomes children from social homes on vacation, works with the LPO, the Conservatory of Natural Spaces, the glow worm, the AMAP, the herding dogs.. The farm is open to schools and to all those who want to open up to another world.
