Baron: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the middle of the fields stands the Manoir de Beaulieu-le-Vieux, an isolated farm complex that is visible from a distance. Its oldest parts date back to the 16th century; the building was remodelled in the 18th century.

When staying in Baron, the desire to rent a holiday apartment may be the main consideration.
