Bonjour!
Bienvenue dans notre maison. We are friendly available and will help you make the most of your stay here.
Are you looking for a real home ? We have thoroughly and tastefully refurbished our house; it is "very cosy" and "very spacious" and right IN the village "Everything is just two minutes away" ... and Paris so easily accessible.
You will enjoy walking to the boulangerie to buy your croissants and crisp baguettes, doing your shopping hassle free and talking to the local people ( and you may even have a lettuce on your doorstep !)
The house is quite suitable for winter holidays. (perfectly well heated) and great as well for summer holidays, as it remains cool in the heat: thick walls and old tiled floor.
THE LIVING-ROOM, overlooking the greenery of the secluded terrace will invite you to enjoy the wines from our regional vineyards.
THE KITCHEN has a dining/eating area and all brand new appliances.
THE BATHROOM is very large, it has a bath/shower over,, hand basin, WC and there is generous supply of linen.
THE 3 BEDROOMS are quite spacious too.
One double bedroom has a chest of drawers, mirror armchair and the adjoining mezzanine has a hanging rail for clothes.
TWO LARGE adjoining BEDROOMS each have a double bed, dressing table/writing desk, chair and one has a large wardrobe.
Comfortable ENTRANCE hall leading to the terrace
THE TERRACE at the back of the house is completely secluded and peaceful. Garden furniture and BBQ provided for relaxed evenings.
Our quiet house is located only 50 metres from the square, local shops and our very own castle of Selles sur Cher. Each Thursday there is the most exciting market of the area which offers wonderful fresh food products. Selles is famous for its AOC goat cheese available from the local Fromagerie and you will find delicious, inexpensive wines in the cellars of our local producers.
There is also a full range of restaurants from take-away to the gourmet you will not even need to cook.
IN Selles sur Cher you can of course go shopping, biking and walking along the banks of the river Cher which winds through our little town. And in summer you can also go swimming and pedal boating
NEARBY you can go riding, dancing(club) and experience the unparalleled French "guinguette" (cf Renoir) on the banks of river Cher.
Most of the major castles are quickly accessible :
CHENONCEAU The dainty ladies' one with its arched gallery over the water.
VALENCAY comedians in period costumes will reenact history.
CHEVERNY you will see the pack of hounds gobble up their dinner.
BLOIS with its secret door & cabinets.
AMBOISE Where François 1er & Leonardo da Vinci lived 3 Km apart.
CHAMBORD the most stately one with its 440 rooms & 365 chimneys.
Our region is an architectural delight
Bessides, most of our castles offer unexpected exhibitions, shows, or music festivals (international musicians).
We particularly recommend LEONARDO DA VINCI'S MANOR HOUSE and gardens in Amboise, where children will be thrilled to have a hand on the replicas of his fabulous machines. Your may like to visit one of these amazing troglodyte houses dus in the rock ...
THE AEROCLUB next to the town will welcome you for a private tour of the castles on a plane at the attractive price of 60€ half an hour for 3 people.
Selles sur Cher is locatd on a regional rail link with regular services to Tours(airport) Vierzon and Bourges. The house is a pleasant, easy 15 minute walk to the railway station.
From Charles de Gaulle airport in Roissy (Paris) the TGV train can take you to Tours in 1.30 hour.
And in order to make things easier for you, we can set up your car rental for you (from Tours, Blois etc) and send you the contract ; you will simply have to pick up your car.
