About Ann Palmer owner
I am a private owner living in England but who loves France and the way of life. John and I visit the cottages several times a year to ensure all is going well and to have a lovely time there ourselves and with our family. I spend a lot of time painting while I am there and John looks after the maintenance. We are both retired doctors though when we bought the cottages we were very busy now we have more time to enjoy our lovely home. One of our fasvourite pastimes is to go to Chenonceau for lunch in the Orangerie a first class restaurant set in the chateau grounds with magnificent views of the castle.
Ann Palmer owner purchased this Cottage in 1989
Why Ann Palmer owner chose Saint-Georges-sur-Cher
John and I bought this lovely farmstead soon after we moved to the south of England; we wanted somewhere for our family to visit within easy reach of home. We chose Vrigny as it is in the country but not isolated and it is close to Chenonceau our favourite chateau, it is central for visiting all the castles in the Loire Valley and also the vineyards, our local wines are so good and being so close to the vineyards we can participate in the vendange (harvest). We developed the property over the years; the 3 cottages are independent and you can enjoy your own space, there is also the advantage you will meet some really interesting people - or bring your friends and share two or three cottages together.
What makes this Cottage unique

Notes
- We are situated in the heart of the famous Loire Valley castle and winery region, most attractions are within half and hour's drive. Our location is special as we are very close to Chenonceau, you can take the bikes or car to the river and walk along the bank through the trees and past this lovely castle. Our cottage is situated in the hamlet of Vrigny on the outskirts of the village of St Georges where you have shops, boulangerie, bar and small restaurant within walking distance. Our road is quiet with only local traffic and is close to the vineyards with lovely walks and cycle rides, we have bikes for your use. We are 4 minutes drive from the chateau at Chenonceau and are within half an hour of the major attractions of the Loire Valley - chateaux, vineyards; restaurants are in the next village and Chenonceau both only a few minutes drive.

A very comfortable and well-equipped cottage
Thank you so pleased you have enjoyed your stay in our lovely cottage. Sorry to hear you had problems finding us, we are of course well known locally so pleased to hear that the shop was so helpful. Many of our guests enjoy the lovely cycling opportunities in the vineyards and along the river to Chenonceau - its a great place for cycling. Hope to see you again - Ann
A Pleasent Quiet Cottage
Thank you I am so pleased you have enjoyed your stay in our lovely little cottage. Whilst small it had a new kitchen last year with lots of special extras including the dishwasher ad electric ceramic hob and oven. It is secluded from the other cottage in our garden and ideal for a romantic stay. We have bikes for those who love cycling and great local routes through the vineyards and along the river to the chateau. We hope you will come again!
Cozy Place For Two
Thank you we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. It was lovely to meet you. Vrigny is a great place to stay at any time of year, we have good heating and warm beds for winter breaks, and in summer we have a large garden and great walks in the vineyards. All the year round there is a lot to see and do with the chateaux and wineries, great markets and really good restaurants. We look forward to seeing you again.
Very relaxing location
Thank you we are so pleased you have enjoyed your stay in our cottage. We are located in the country just a few minutes from the vineyards with extensive cycling tracks, and the river which has a tow path right along to the Chateau at Chenonceau. We do provide excellent cooking facilities, but for those who don't mind a short drive there are excellent restaurants within 5-10 minutes. Ann
