About the host
Your host
Having spent several enjoyable camping and gite holidays in France, we decided that we would like to retire here. We purchased the property in 2014 and live in a converted part of the barn. We have spent many hours landscaping the grounds and enjoy the wealth of wildlife and fabulous views across the fields as we hope you will. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and we have enjoyed exploring country paths, walking by the rivers, visiting local markets, eating out at restaurants in the nearby towns, sightseeing and generally discovering everything the region has to offer.
