La Porcherie (gite)

Home description

Carefully renovated to retain its character with original exposed beams. La Porcherie is part of a 200 year old farm "Le Grand Pré" (the great meadow) which is set in a tranquil rural location with unspoilt views of the gently rolling countryside. A perfect setting for relaxing and a safe environment for the children to play. The site is set 200m off a quiet country lane with open fields all around and very private, yet only 8km from shops and amenities, including the local market and many excellent restaurants.
An area which still retains it's traditional french lifestyle with many chateaux, forests, lakes and rivers to explore,
there is an equestrian centre, fishing and 18 hole golf course only 5 minutes away, if you prefer you can just relax or swim in the 11m x 4m heated swimming pool no matter what the weather.
An excellent base for walking, cycling or exploring.
The night sky in France is full of stars and a sight not to be missed.
See the Indre river just a short walk down the field.

Thanks for the great holiday. We have all had the most relaxing time, its been the most chill out hoiday we've had and we've felt really welcome. A totally child friendly holiday. The boys had the best time with the pool on the doorstep, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
