Clan Boucheron

Clan Boucheron We offer 2 lovely gites in rural France: Le Chat & Le Chien. We have 11 cats, 2 dogs, 2 horses, chickens, ducks, doves & 1 veg patch

Enjoy a relaxing holiday in the country in our beautiful garden with a large pond, a small play area & pool. Welcome to Clan – Boucheron

In February 2017 we took over this lovely property in Louroux Bourbounnais - just 35 Km from the geographical centre of France. 'WE' are John & Loes. A Scottish-Dutch connection in France – bringing you the best of all cultures. At Clan Boucheron we offer 2 hol

iday homes - le chat and le chien - each sleeping 4 guests in a double bed and bunkbeds. There is an option for extra bed spaces as our couches can turn in to double beds too. Each cottage has a small private garden which is secured with a gate and where we placed a BBQ. For entertainment we offer large landscaped gardens with a fish pond, an above ground swimming pool, a play area for children with a trampoline, swings and sandpit, a petanque area, table tennis and mountian bikes. Clan Boucheron sits in a very rural and peaceful setting just outside the village and on the D57. Making the most of the rolling county side all around us we share our space with dogs, cats, chickens and horses, as well as 'the normal' wildlife you find here. We have seen deer, foxes, hen harries, owls, pinemartines, wild boar, cranes and many other species of birds, insects and 'flutterbies'. We grow our own vegetables and herbs and hope to be able to offer the posibility to buy a 'green box' with a selection of biologically grown healthy produce found at Clan Boucheron. And eggs from our own chickens too. Clan Boucheron is located near the Troncaise Forest and the region known for it's wide variety of lovely cheeses offers a lot of scope for outdoor activities and sight seeing. The chain of Vulcano's and Puy de Dome are within a good driving distance for a nice day out.

This little monkey is tired from escaping out of the house through the cat flap and small hole in the fence, to help me in the field, and then jumping in through the kitchen window to escape a friendly girl wanting a cuddle....

His confidence and belly are growing (he's still very skinny) and his muscles and cheecky-ness are increasing too......

Every night there's a gathering of our guests, the herd and us around sunset. Time for cuddles carrots and contentment.......

We adopted a doggy today.

Well..... after our horses spent weeks breaking down the fences to be together, which was time consuming and worrying (injuries), we, the neighbours and I, gave up and gave in. We now share the herd. Instead of 2 horses I now sometimes have nothing, sometimes 11 horses and 2 sheep. They have developed their own routine, which means they usually hang out in the neighbours walk-in stable in the morning, go back and forth throughout the day, and come over around 20:30 to spend the evening here. Its working 🥰

The last two months have brought a different challenge every day. This is today's challenge. For clarification: I only have 2 horses....... 🤣😭

Life at Clan Boucheron has been a bit challenging of late. In June , Charlie, my first and heart horse, died suddenly. It was a shock to the system. A month later I was lucky enough to get offered a beautiful and gentle Gypsy Cob, to be a companion for Noraka, who was left behind alone

After the first, very positive meeting, it turned out that Noraka couldn't cope with this new situation and she started breaking out into the neighbours field, where she got bitten and chased by their horses. It was a worrying development.

Yesterday, a supplement, time to work with them and a very gentle Daysie who decided she would do join up with Noraka , brought a happy breakthrough and they have been together since.

However, we didn't have long to celebrate, as shortly after it became clear that this heatwave was really taking a toll on our old girl Bran. Our 'Patterjack' who turned 16 in March. The last few days were particularly hard on her. This afternoon she died peacefully in my lap.

She had a good life and there's been a lot of love between us. And memories and love will remain.....

Daisy arrived and met Noraka..... a new era. It started really well..... Noraka is still a bit unsure, but things were so calm that I am very positive that this will work out fine

Just what the doctor ordered....

This lady was meant to arrive earlier this afternoon, but 'she is doing a Charlie' and doesn't load..... Maybe later today, maybe tomorrow.. maybe...... but there's hay everywhere, the bath filled with fresh water (it's usually empty in Summer, but i dont know if she is used to automatic drinkers) and I am off for the next 2 days... so if she does make it, I will have time to do my best and make her feel welcome here......
