A peaceful gite in the grounds of a chateau!
The owner Jeanne-Claire is absolutely lovely and wants everything to be as easy, comfortable and relaxing as possible for her guests. She was so helpful and responsive every time we needed anything and it was a always a pleasure to chat and find out about the chateau and it’s history and the area. She was very sorry that the WiFi wasn’t working during our stay. If WiFi is important to you, it might be worth checking with her first.
The cottage is comfortable with a particularly easy and relaxing lliving room downstairs…but best of all is the outside space with view of the small river and bridge and forests beyond. There is a huge table for outside meals…particularly lovely in the evening when the light is pink and sun has set. The grounds of the chateau are lovely … with a couple of small lakes (shallow and not used for fishing when we were there in a hot and dry August) and a shared swimming pool and a fantastic tennis court. And table tennis! The pool cd be busy if both the gite guests and the chateau guests wanted to use it at the same time ….but it was never a problem. We had the pool to ourselves most of the time. This is a lovely holiday destination if you want to do very little. The English family holidaying in the chateau when we were there seemed to be out and about all the time (visiting the fabulous castles I think) but we were very lazy and spent our days at the pool and the court. The super market is between 10 and 15 mins. One useful point perhaps that we didn’t see mentioned on the website is that one of the double rooms (with en suite bathroom) is downstairs. That worked out really well for my 90 year old mother. Last thing to mention is Jeanne-Claire has a friend who will can cook and deliver a very nice meal for you. This worked out so much cheaper than going our for a meal and it lasted us for 2 nights!
