Welcome to the Domaine des Forges de la Vache
We welcome you to the enchanting and poetic setting of a historic estate — a green haven crossed by a stream and bordered by centuries-old trees.
Our charming houses and rooms offer flexible configurations, from a romantic stay for two to full privatization for a special event.
In the warmer months, enjoy our heated pool. All year round, treat yourself to a moment of relaxation in the Scandinavian bath or the sauna.
A permaculture vegetable garden with its period greenhouse, a chicken coop, former stables, and even an authentic 18th-century blast furnace — all await your discovery during your stay.
Embrace a way of life that invites slowness. Take your time. Be inspired by the surrounding beauty. Breathe.

A unique place
For a long time, the echoes of the rhythmic work of machines and men, millers and then blacksmiths, echoed here, near the banks of the Loire, which carried the fruits of their labor far and wide.
The hamlet, which once lit up the Nièvre countryside with its ironworks, is now a peaceful resort nestled between fields and forests, where silence yields only to the sounds of nature.

An eco-estate surrounded by nature
Our homes aren't simply nestled in the heart of nature; they coexist with it, expressing a deep respect for ecosystems and the environment. From the wood-fired boiler to the filter garden, from the natural renderings to the thoughtful details, every element is carefully designed, both for nature and for your well-being.
