Nestled in the heart of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Gîte de Planchat is a characterful cottage ideal for bringing together family or groups of friends in a peaceful natural setting, in Saint-Bonnet-le-Courreau.

With a capacity of 21 guests, the gîte offers generous space designed for group stays. It features 9 bedrooms, allowing comfortable sleeping arrangements for groups of varying sizes — whether for a long weekend, an extended family holiday, or a trip with friends. The shared common areas encourage a convivial atmosphere and moments of collective living.

The gîte is equipped to ensure a practical and self-sufficient stay: Wi-Fi keeps guests connected despite the rural surroundings, while a dishwasher and washing machine make daily life easier during longer stays. A private car park is available on site, which is a significant advantage for groups arriving with multiple vehicles. Games are also provided, offering additional entertainment for evenings or leisure time indoors.

Saint-Bonnet-le-Courreau is located in the Massif du Forez, a mid-mountain area of plains and forests. The region offers numerous outdoor activity options: hiking, cycling, and discovering the local wildlife and flora. The nearby Monts du Forez provide ideal terrain for walks in any season. The town of Thiers, renowned for its cutlery-making tradition, and Ambert are within reasonable reach for cultural day trips. This rural and authentic setting makes the Gîte de Planchat a restorative retreat well suited to groups looking to combine relaxation, nature, and mountain activities.
