The gite in mountain « Les Terres Nères » can accomodate 8 or 9 people. It was renovated in 2000 and awarded 3 épis by the organisation « Gîtes de France ». It obtained the « Gîte Panda » label in 2003.
The gîte is situated on the outskirts of the village of Aucun at 850 meters altitude. There is no passing traffic here as the road finishes at the gîte.
