Outside
At the front of the house is a quiet, safe driveway that only serves the few houses in 'our village'. There is a large area of grass for ball games immediately opposite..
At the back is a sunny patio and lawn, which has extensive views across open countryside. There is a large table, eight garden chairs and a barbeque. Facing west, it is excellent for evening sunsets with a glass of local wine. We provide equipment for garden games.
A very short distance away is a local lake, perfect for an evening stroll.
Our neighbours
Forget all that you've heard about the French being unfriendly. Our neighbours are wonderful.
Next door are Mickael and Stephanie with their young sons Louis and Germain. Mickael is a headmaster in the local school and Stephanie is also a schoolteacher. They speak English and will make you very welcome.
Gilles and Annie live in a bungalow nearby. Gilles speaks good English and is well known for sharing a bottle (or two) of their own wine with our holidaymakers.
Our community is completed by Nicholas and Teddy in one house and Marie in the other.
