About Byron and Kelly Harker
Hello, we are Byron and Kelly Harker from Vancouver on the West Coast of Canada. We have had the opportunity to travel widely over the years, and have always enjoyed returning to France. In 2003 we decided to sell our home in Vancouver and move to France. We discovered the delightful town of La Charité-sur-Loire in Burgundy and immediately fell in love with the town and the area. In 2004 we opened the first of our vacation rentals and currently have five such rentals in the centre of this medieval town. We enjoy the many festivals in town and the area throughout the year. We are close enough to Paris to 'pop up' for the day. We enjoy sharing our love of the area with our guests from all over the world.
Byron and Kelly Harker purchased this apartment in 2003
What makes this apartment unique
La Charité-sur-Loire is south of the rain and north of the heat and as a result has very enjoyable weather. Our vacation rentals are in the centre of town and you are able to walk out your front door and enjoy the many bakeries, cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The Loire River is two blocks away and it has lovely beaches and walking paths along the riverbank. There is canoeing and kayaking on the river. We are close the wine areas of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire where you can meet the wine makers and enjoy tasting their wonderful wines. The castles of the Loire Valley are a two hour drive from us and make an enjoyable day trip. La Charité-sur-Loire is becoming an art, book and music cultural centre and as such there are many festivals throughout the year.

Wonderful!

Wonderful stay!! Kelly and Byron are fantastic hosts!
The Meneau suite has everything! It's a home away from home and very comfortable. Byron and Kelly go out of their way to ensure that your stay is perfect. They are gracious and thoughtful. I would recommend to anyone to spend some time in La Charite Sur Loire.
Wow! A perfect place to see a lovely part of France
We could not have been more thrilled with the amazing restored apartment that we stayed at in Charite-Sur-Loire, a really lovely and special place in France. Our entranceway was a turret!!! How cool is that! And, despite the age of the building, it has been lovingly restored, so it has all the amenities of a modern home--dishwasher, washing machine, heated towel racks, etc. in a building that has been around for centuries and has kept its character. Kelly and Byron are fabulous hosts, willing to answer any questions and may even give a tour of the town. And, they speak English, being Canadians, which is helpful. We highly recommend this!
Well restored character "gite" in delightful town
The Meneau suite was charming and being up a winding staircase in an old tower, up to the second floor meant it had lots of light in a tightly packed older section of La Charite. We particularly enjoyed the warm October sunshine on the wee terrace; a delightful place to poignantly reflect upon the end of summer's sunshine and the coming of shorter days.
We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with friends in a neighbouring gite and exploring the mellow countryside in full grape-harvest action🍷😀
Many thanks Kelly and Byron for planting Canadian hearts in the soul of France🇨🇦🇫🇷

Charming, Comfortable, Convenient
This apartment is exceptional in many ways. From the moment we stepped into the winding staircase in the tower we were reminded of the quality and care Byron and Kelly have put into the renovation of a 16th century property. The photos show the exposed beams, natural stone walls and fireplaces, antique furniture, flowers and little touches of France everywhere. The terrace is very private and just delightful any time of day.
The furnishings and amenities are modern, comfortable, and generous. Extras include: a dishwasher and washing machine. excellent selection of cable channels, books, DVDs, and a binder full of sightseeing, dining and shopping tips from the hosts’ 14 years of experience.
Location also could not be better: very quiet but only 5 minutes’ walk from good shopping, festival venues, and the town’s magnificent priory and bookstores. Byron and Kelly could not have been better hosts. They met us at the train station, carried bags up the stairs, and put a bottle of wine in the fridge.
Byron and Kelly have five self-contained apartments, different sizes, all together in the town center. There is no better place to stay in La Charite.
Fantastic apartment in a fantastic area
We stayed here for a Week in August and loved it. The apartment is really lovely and well equipped with Byron and Kelly being the perfect hosts. La Charite is a great town with lots to do and see and the surrounding area is also beautiful. I would recommend this apartment to everyone.
Spacious character apartment in the centre of town yet quiet
Kelly and Byron made us very welcome meeting and returning us to the station. They made great suggestions about where to visit which were much appreciated. The apartment is lovely, very well equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor patio was an added bonus, as were their bikes which we hired. If we are ever in La Charite again we would definitely stay here.
