Chez Gallois
About the home
Chez Gallois is at the heart of a countryside rich with wildlife including: deer, squirrels, badgers and hares in our woods. We also have a large variety of birds such as buzzards, woodpeckers, swallows, owls, herons, hoopee, and great/blue tits!
Our Gite is both private and quiet and makes an ideal holiday retreat for a couple or a small family. Why not BBQ at the side of our lake or picnic in the centre of our woods? The climate is pleasant all year round with temperatures typically about 32 degrees in June, July and August.

I had a good time here in a very beautiful environment. I enjoyed using the sports equipment and I learned to play pool.
