La Grenouille Noire is 'under construction'! But fear not, my first Junior Suite is just lovely! Decorated in green and golds and filled with brocante and charity shop finds, with the added benefit of an internet TV, Netflix, Tassimo drinks machine, WiFi and lovely views of the Church and Donjon. La Grenouille Noire was originally a 16th Century jail and the four underground prison cells can be visited and seen from the guest suite. Over the centuries additional buildings were added to make La Grenouille Noire a family home. Years of neglect have taken their toll and I am slowly renovating the 300+ square meters back to its former glory! Depending on wether your arrive via the place du Donjon entrance, or through the Garden entrance, you will enter the communal Reception Hall, from here a narrow staircase leads you to the private, lockable Junior Suite.

Marcillat-en-Combraille is a small town of less than 1000 people in the commune. However, we are well served with shops and you can find all the essentials within 100m of La Grenouille Noire. (Bank, Post Office, Butchers, Bakers, Newsagents, Bar, Mini-market, Brocante, Hairdressers and Lego Shop!)
