Le Cantou

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 a grocery store, bar, restaurant and more recently a B&B.

Le Cantou means ‘large 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 now open to guests.

The bedrooms have recently been refurbished to a high, individual standard and have a separate entrance and 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.

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. 

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.

Can I book direct?

Online bookings are now available either via computer or mobile phone. If you would rather book direct via us please send us an email or use the contact button. We accept card, cash or bank transfer payments. Alternatively you can book with us on Booking.com or Airbnb (search for properties in Affieux). Please also contact us for the best rates available.
