Meet Penelope
Outgoing, Adventurous, Friendly
I have chosen to live in an area in France where I am the only English resident. I love immersing myself in the French culture. I love to share the Chartreuse way of life with my visitors.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

Our French chalet is set in the stunning Chartreuse National Park. Our home is in a pretty hamlet a short cycle ride from two towns where you can find amenities such as bakeries, butchers, banks, cafés and Supermarkets.
Our staying guests have always been amazed by the gorgeous view of the mountain range and woodland that surround our home. It is the ideal spot for keen hikers who can explore the countryside simply stepping out of the front gate onto walking paths or taking a short car journey into the mountains or to the nearby lakes.
The location is the perfect mix of tranquility and beauty but also being a 30 minute drive to the cities of Grenoble and Chambery.
If you are looking to relax and totally unwind this place is ideal.
