burons
What if true luxury was simply nature...
Ambling through Auvergne is returning to the essential:
The colors of the earth melting into the flora
While the rustlings of nature breaks the pure silence
Of views on endless unfettered vistas...
We're sharing this luxury by rehabilitating an ancestral heritage: Les Burons
The high pastures of Auvergne are scattered with odd little stone houses: burons. They welcomed and protected both man and beast during the summer months when the herds were taken out to pasture, and the milk turned into cheese on site. Most of them date back to the 18th century, but in the last few decades many have fallen into disuse and are disappearing from the landscape, collapsing back into piles of stones.
The Chambe du Bas, the Buron de Niercombe and the Fumade Vieille, scattered along a single 4km trail, were rescued from disaster and have a new purpose: bearing witness to Nature!
With their unique size and location, each of these three burons offers a different atmosphere.
The Buron de La Chambe
This buron is the first one you come upon on the trail. It shares the same panoramic view but is easier to access; its layout and lovely kitchen make it particularly suited for family life.
The Buron de Niercombe
It's iconic with its fortress-like position on an unfettered horizon, is a jewel box for lovers who are searching for privacy, surrounded by nothing but beauty.
Le buron de La Fumade
with its cleverly arranged space, a succession of enclosed beds, and its large common room, is perfect for a group of hikers (up to 15 people).
