About Le Cantou
Le Cantou is a 19th century house built around an old stone fireplace. Located in the tranquil setting of the village of Affieux in the Correze region.
Le Cantou has been a part of the local community for many years having in the past been an auberge (pub), restaurant and more recently a B&B.
Le Cantou means ‘old fireplace’ and this particular fireplace dates back to 1819. The house still has its original fireplace, bread oven and beams.
Now, under new ownership, Le Cantou has had a refurbishment and is opening its doors again in May 2024 to welcome guests.
The B&B rooms have recently been refurbished to a high, individual standard and have their own separate entrance and private garden.

FAQs
We're here to help
Do you offer group bookings?
We're only a small b&b but you can book both rooms out to accommodate 4 adults plus children / baby on camper beds / crib if required.
Are all rooms accessible to people with disabilities?
Unfortunately there are steps up to the B&B rooms so we don't have any accessible rooms at present. However we do have plans for the future so watch this space!
Can I bring my pet?
We love furry friends and have a dog ourselves (who doesn't go into the B&B). Please be advised that he does bark (loudly) when people arrive at the house but is very friendly. Unfortunately we don't accept other dogs I'm afraid.
