Manzagol is a small hamlet across the water from Neuvic on the eastern side of the Lac de la Triouzoune. It has no real centre but is dominated by the Puy de Manzagol (692m), deservedly marked as a viewpoint on the Michelin maps and a pleasant 10 minute walk from Les Genêts.

The house itself is part of a small development of seven widely spaced houses on a winding private road leading down tho the lake, and is on the plot nearest the lake, only 100m from the water's edge but set high on a south-facing slope. There are spectacular views across the lake and the sunset has to be seen to be believed!

The surrounding woodlands of pine, chestnut, oak and birch are home to an abundance of wild flowers, birds and small mammals, including red squirrels (there are no grey squirrels in France). Autumn visitors can gather mushrooms of all kinds - the pharmacy in Neuvic is happy to examine them and advise on which are edible - as well as blackberries and nuts.
