La Grange & l 'Arrosoir - a cozy barn in Chartreuse

La Grange is a renovated barn superbly situated in the heart of the Chartreuse Nature Park 25km south of Chambery. It's a paradise for summer/winter Alpine sports. This is a 3-star gite sleeping 8-12 people in full comfort and authentic alpine style. The space The total area of the living accommodation is about 114 square metres. Apart from the ground floor kitchen, all of the rooms have been constructed almost entirely with wood. By contrast, the kitchen and dining room retain the original stone walls and vaulted brick ceiling. The situation is South facing and very sunny until late afternoon. There's a large wooden terrace on the first level for dining outdoors. The views from La Grange are breathtaking in all directions. Les Claret is situated on a pass ('col' in French) between St. Pierre d'Entremont and Entremont le Vieux. Consequently, the views from here are absolutely stunning with Grand Som and Chamechaude to the south and Le Pinet dominating the northern view. The Parc Naturel de la Chartreuse is also one of the best areas for summer hill walking in France and is an excellent and undiscovered venue for winter skiing, snow-show tours and winter sports. Little known to English tourists, La Chartreuse offers the authentic alpine experience. The local town (5 km) boasts a good range of shops, banks and restaurants plus a pro-active tourist office.
