Frequently asked questions
Is the house wheelchair-friendly?
Partly, and it is described rather than certified: at Au Kilomètre Zéro in Tence (Haute-Loire) the main level — kitchen, lounge, terrace, two double bedrooms, a toilet and a bathroom described as accessible by the Gîtes de France listing — is step-free, reached by a gentle slope from the car park. The other four bedrooms are upstairs, the sauna and games room on the garden level. There is no official disability label: ask the owners to confirm door widths, thresholds and the shower before booking.
Is there air conditioning?
No, and at 850 m the nights are cool; the stone walls keep the house fresh in summer.
Is there an EV charger?
Not at the house. Public chargers: Tence (Parking du Fieu; fast charger near Carrefour Market / Gamm Vert), Le Chambon-sur-Lignon (15 min), Montfaucon-en-Velay (8 min).
