Billom, Auvergne 63160

Located in the heart of France (you know, that rather charming little corner of Europe), come discover a haven of peace less than 2 hours' flight from London. Our quaint property sits in what we French call 'la campagne' - which is rather like the English countryside but with significantly better cheese and a shocking absence of proper tea rooms. Perfect for when you've grown tired of rain and wish to complain about sunshine instead! Tone Farmhouse for Sale in Manglieu (63): Charm, Potential... and a Dash of Elbow Grease!
