Pigeonnier Tower and Garden House

About this property

Pigeonnier Tower and Garden House unfold around a courtyard, framed by 2.6 hectares of lawns, wooded gardens and serene ponds. These two beautifully renovated holiday homes combine historic character with refined modern comforts, offering a unique setting for families, friends and small groups to gather. Here, days flow between poolside relaxation, al-fresco garden dining and exploring one of France’s most elegant spa towns just minutes away.

The Garden House blends contemporary design with homely warmth. Its sleek, fully equipped kitchen opens to the private garden, perfect for long summer lunches on the shaded terrace. The light-filled lounge and dining area is cooled by air-conditioning and connected by fibre-optic Wi-Fi. Four comfortable bedrooms, arranged over two floors, ensure a restful retreat for every guest.

Across the courtyard, the Pigeonnier Tower rises in charming symmetry. Its beamed double bedroom, reached by a contemporary spiral staircase, sits above a delightful living area with kitchen corner. An elevated terrace offers lovely views over the garden and countryside, ideal for morning coffee or a quiet evening drink.

The estate invites outdoor living at every turn. A 10-metre pool shimmers in the sunshine, accompanied by a shaded seating under a pergola and a jacuzzi in the conservatory. A plancha grill and pizza oven make entertaining effortless, while mature trees provide cool shade for a quiet afternoon walk through the wooded grounds.

Situated just 4km from Vichy, this historic home offers easy access to a wealth of cultural and leisure pursuits. This riverside town is famed for its thermal waters, Belle Époque architecture and tree-lined parks. Stroll the Allier River promenade, take in a performance at the Art Nouveau opera house, or enjoy the refined pleasures of its cafés and restaurants. In nearby Cusset, just over 2km away, everyday essentials are within easy reach.

Pigeonnier Tower and Garden House make an ideal choice for a stylish yet relaxed escape close to the beautiful spa town of Vichy.

In the rolling green countryside of Auvergne, Pigeonnier Tower and Garden House offers a beautiful retreat just 4km from the elegant spa town of Vichy. This enchanting property blends rural seclusion with exceptional access to the cultural and historical treasures of the region. The nearby market town of Cusset, just over 2 km away, provides all essential amenities, including a well-stocked supermarket, a bakery and restaurants.

Vichy, famed for its healing mineral waters and graceful Belle Époque architecture, is a destination to savour at leisure. Begin your visit at Les Thermes de Vichy, where naturally carbonated waters have drawn visitors for centuries, before strolling through the leafy Parc des Sources, a grand Napoleonic park adorned with fountains, colonnades, and the elegant Hall des Sources. Along the riverside, shaded walks lead to charming café terraces, where you can sip a coffee while watching life unfold beside the water.

Culture and heritage are woven into Vichy’s very fabric. The Opéra de Vichy, a jewel of Art Nouveau design, offers both world-class performances and guided tours, while the Église Saint-Blaise impresses with its luminous stained glass and intricate mosaics. For lovers of open air pursuits, the Allier River Promenade and Lac d’Allier invite summer boat trips, paddleboarding and gentle strolls, with the Plage des Célestins providing a sandy spot for summer relaxation.

Beyond its leisure and beauty, Vichy holds a layered history. At the Musée de l’Opéra, you can explore the city’s golden age of music and theatre, while the Pavillon Sévigné offers fascinating exhibitions. For a more poignant perspective, interpretive walking routes reveal Vichy’s complex role as the seat of the French State during the Second World War.
