wolf suite |
|
|
|
Le Foulon is situated about half
way up the Vallée du Loup, or Valley of the Wolf.
We're at a geographical junction, where the valley runs due
North to
meet the sheer face of Mount Cheiron and is forced West towards
the source of the river.
|
|
The Wolf Suite is also on a corner, and has a double aspect
with incredible views south to the Courmettes peak, and West
through a metre wide round window on its mezzanine level. Through the round window the vista takes in all of our land,
Greolieres Castle and le Gros Pounch; literally a big belly
of a mountain that curves to a height of 1225m. |
|
Like the Cheiron Suite the Wolf has its sleeping area on a mezzanine level reached via cast spiral stairs. Two Velux windows (incorporating remote control solar powered black out blinds) compliment the round window, and below in the dressing/lounging area an original double window provides even more light as well as an instant view as you step through the pine door. |
|
On the lower level the chaisse longue in the current photos has been replaced with a very comfortable double sofa bed, perfect for children up to their late teens. When reserved on a bed and breakfast basis there is a supplement of 10€ per child, which includes breakfast. |
|
In the bathroom a large shower with a curved glass door faces another great view, and with nothing but the occasional deer to glance in from the hill side opposite you can enjoy the panorama uninhibited. |
|
With its new oak floor and smooth straight walls, the Wolf Suite probably has the most modern character of the three suites.

|
On the lower level of the suite you'll find an antique writing desk/dressing table and a chaisse longue |
