The property was a working dairy farm, a throw-back to the middle ages when I bought it in 1989, gites 2&3 were cattle barns complete with cows!
It's location and potential we're fantastic, having oak beams, stone walls and country aspect, yet near beaches and the wonderful historic town of La Roche Bernard, which enchanted me after my first views while driving over the suspension bridge. I knew instantly this was the place for me after spending month's looking around other areas of France.
Being a musician I enjoy the live music which appears regularly in the beautifully restored theatre (now a brassiere/bar) Sarah B.(after Sarah Bernhart) and many other bars around the towns and villages.
I've made many friends, and they are always there to help.
