Welcome to La Saule Tordue The Auvergne region is described as a paradise of open space and its several hundred red volcanoes have created scenery of immense beauty. Water falls, lakes and rivers are in abundance and the area is a strategic point for many migratory birds, including Kestrels, Red Kites and Buzzards which fly overhead during the spring and summer. La Saule Tordue is situated in the south of the Allier region in a small hamlet with only local traffic and tractors. The area is rural and 500 m above sea level which offers great views. Ideal for ramblers and nature lovers. We are an English family and on our small farm we keep chickens, goats, ducks, pet rabbits and hopefully in the near future donkeys. All our visitors have access to the rest of our property which includes a meadow and grass area for ball games.
