The Loire Valley / Mayenne region
The climate in Mayenne is very similar to the climate of the South of England. Obviously great for the production of Cider, Calvados and a great variety of other seasonal fruits.
Ambrieres les Vallees area
Souce is situated about 15 minutes from the main market town of Mayenne and the same distance to the small town of Gorron, which is twinned with Hayling Island. Ambrieres Les Vallees is about 10 minutes from Souce and has a beautiful lake and country walk area. Boats are allowed on the lake. There is also an outdoor swimming pool in the park area. Mont St Michel (about a 46 miles drive away) is a beautiful Monastery Island town with it’s own shopping centre and museum. There is also 2 miles away, the beautiful Flower Village of St. Fraimbault, with its floral bedecked streets, boating lake, tabac, food store, and excellent restaurant and bar. Bagnole de l’Orne, (17 miles away) an old spa town of great character is well worth a visit too.

Further details indoors: The interior furniture was all new for the 2005 season and the cottage has been tastefully restored to original condition where possible. High chairs and travel cots are provided if needed. The TV has Sky channels and French stations too. The owner has a selection of videos and DVDs', if you feel the need to borrow any, just ask. All rooms are heated by radiators with the addition of a log burner in the lounge. Bedlinen is available but unfortunately towels are not provided. A Complimentry Welcome Pack will be there to make your incoming journey that much easier.
Further details outdoors: The exterior of the cottage has a private garden and swimming pool, for the sole use of residents. There are various fruit trees for residents to help themselves to during the season, including Cherries, Damson, Peaches, Apples and Pears too. There are views of the countryside all around the cottage. The location of the cottage is in traditional Mayenne farming country and extremely rural and peaceful. With just the sound of the occasional tractor to remind you where you are! It's a safe environment for children, and the lane, which passes the cottage, serves only the next-door farmhouse. Because the terrain is gently rolling and the lanes quiet, cycling and walking from the cottage is popular. However, sandy beaches, and canoeing are all a short drive away; and of course, being in France, there are good restaurants and local markets abound. You can take a drive to Mont St Michel, or Le Mans for great shopping. There's lot to do, details are in the cottage welcome books.
Further details
The swimming pool is heated from May until September and is for the sole use of the cottage residents only. Wood for the wood burning fire can be provided when needed, as can electric blankets. But this service is normally for winter lets only. The property has electric heaters in each room.
