Gite Lavande
About the home
In February 2010 we became the proud owners of this 'petite but beautifully formed gite attached to our house. The gite has been tastefully modernised, and comprises of a lounge, with a comfortable settee, table and chairs, log burner for cold evenings and with a modern well equipped kitchen, leading to a south facing private patio/sun terrace. Spiral wooden stairs lead down to a double bedroom and well appointed modern bathroom suite. The gite is tiled throughout with rugs for extra comfort.
The gite is situated in a quiet village which has a small shop and bar/restaurant to buy your fresh bread and croissants. The restaurant does a 11 euro menu Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday which is well worth a visit is and it is well located near the forest of Andaines and within easy reach of many attractive towns including Domfront, Bagnoles d'Orne, La Ferte Mace, Flers and Mayenne. The famous race circuit of Lemans is approx 90mins away by car.
