Gather Together
Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, hosting a family reunion, traveling with lifelong friends, or bringing together several generations, Maison D'Ossandon was designed for time spent together.
With spacious salons, generous dining areas, multiple kitchens, and room for everyone to spread out, the house makes it easy to linger over meals, play games late into the evening, and simply enjoy one another's company.
Discover the Auvergne
From lively markets and artisan workshops to volcanic landscapes, medieval villages, castles, and scenic hiking trails, the Auvergne offers a side of France that many international travelers never discover.
Whether you're here for history, food, outdoor adventure, or simply a slower pace of life, there's something to explore every day.
More Than a Place to Stay
Planning a trip to a new region can feel overwhelming, especially if you've never visited the Auvergne before. We are happy to share our favorite restaurants, markets, hiking trails, villages, and local experiences, and can help connect you with trusted providers for activities such as horseback riding, knife-making workshops, and other regional adventures. Our goal is simple: to make planning easy so you can spend your time enjoying France rather than figuring it out.
About Maison D'Ossandon
When we first stepped through the front door of Maison D'Ossandon, we knew we had found something extraordinary.
Built in 1444 in the historic heart of Thiers, the house has welcomed generations of families, artisans, and travelers over nearly six centuries. We fell in love not only with its remarkable history, but with its warmth—the grand dining room designed for long conversations, the winding stone staircase, the sweeping valley views, and the feeling that every room had a story to tell.
Over the past year we have carefully restored and furnished the house, preserving its historic character while creating a welcoming home for today's guests.
Whether you're gathering with family, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for an authentic base from which to explore the Auvergne, we hope Maison D'Ossandon becomes part of your own family's story as well.
