Come and spend a spring, summer, autumn or winter holiday in « Elveden » / « Le gîte des lutins » , a gîte that combines traditional charm with modern conveniences. Suitable for four people, it has a large garden at the rear with play-things for children and plenty of parking-space outside the front. The property is situated at the end of a little road just outside the pretty village of Omps, in the northern part of the Châtaigneraie, that area of the Cantal (or Southern Auvergne) which the Romans planted with chestnut trees 2,000 years ago. The gîte is two-and-a-half kms away from the neightbouring village of St-Mamet-le-Salvetat, where there is a bakery, a butchers, a pharmacy. a doctor’s surgery and a small supermarket. But the departmental town of Aurillac, with its Saturday market and shops of all kinds, is just 15 km to the north-east, and the charming market town of Maurs is just 20 km to the south.
