Company information

The hosts are a Danish/Dutch couple Peter and Edith. Originally, they decided to move from the Netherlands in 2019 to France leaving behind corporate and modern life stress to share their passion for people and cycling with others by creating a healthy oasis with ZONE BLEUE as the basis for road cycling trips in the area. Getting to know the area better the idea quickly grew to include mountain biking and hiking in the beautiful nature in Auvergne that facilitate almost all kind of cycling and hiking activities. Peter and Edith are both fueled by meeting and interacting with other people sharing stories and experience in the family atmosphere around ZONE BLEUE connecting hosts and guests and in between guests of all kinds. After moving to France, they decided to expand the crew with a Jack Russel terrier named Saartje. Saartje is spreading her positive energy with all guests charming and playing with guests of all ages - but specially kids. ZONE BLEUE welcomes kids and the garden surrounding the house is a great playground to explore.

The blend of fascinating old architecture and new modern amenities complements each other. In such a place there is always a new renovation project - focus has now moved to the barns and the cave The house has been decorated in classical Farrow & Ball colors using Hauge Blue, Treron and Lime White as the base.
