Le Canard au Parapluie Rouge is an 18th century longère (farmhouse). During the late 1800’s the property was renovated and converted to an auberge. For more than 100 years, Auberge de la Gare, as it was once known, provided a warm welcoming shelter for weary travellers from the adjacent rail-line and station house. Sadly, the station house has closed, however the occasional train whizzes by as a reminder of the early years. Today, we continue the tradition of welcoming travellers. For your comfort, the property has been updated with modern conveniences without sacrificing the rustic charm and character. 

Ideally situated in the heart of centre France, we are the perfect stopping point from every direction. Easy access and two minutes from the autoroute make for a very convenient location, especially welcome after a day of traveling or sightseeing. Located in Celon, a rural Berrychone village, you will find signs of modern-day life, families young & old, small thriving businesses, as well as nods to Celon’s early days, including a 13th Century Chateau. Services, such as petrol, shopping and restaurants are only a short driving distance.
