Villa Leigners (house)

Home description

Situated in the heart of France in Liglet (near La Trimouille, Le Blanc and Montmorillion) in the region of Poitou-Charente and the area of Vienne. The Leigners Estate has beautiful surroundings and it's the perfect place to relax. From our estate you can visit castles, museums, old cities, villages, or the world famous and oldest France fresco's. Visit a bird show and be really active (or just take a sunbath)!

Our estate is a great place to relax, in summer and in winter. All year round actually. For example you can sit by the big fireplace in winter and in summer you can fresh yourself up in the swimming pool (or a bit up the river if you like). At nights you can enjoy the stars. It's because you won't find traffic noise here, also not from tractors. The scenery is lovely and a lot of our guests (mostly from the Netherlands and the UK, but also from the USA and France) have lost their hearts to this region and have come back to us more than once.

Whether you want to spend your holiday with your whole family/ colleagues or with a few, it's both possible. When you rent our property, you rent a whole house (there a three) and you can stay there with up to 14 persons per house. Both ways (with a few people or with a lot), you will have enough privacy.

Wikipedia.org about Poitou-Charente:
Poitou-Charentes is a région in central western France comprising four départments: Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne. The regional capital is Poitiers.

Demographics
In French its residents are known as Picto-Charentais. In 1999, the region ranked 15th out of 26 in population. In area it ranked 12th in size.

A regional language, Poitevin-Saintongeais, is spoken by a minority of people in the region.

Poitou is a historic region in west central France. Poitiers, the former capital of the region, is its chief city. Farming is important to the economy; wheat, corn, and cattle are raised. Industries produce machinery, chemicals, and dairy products.

The region's first known inhabitants, the Pictavi, a Gallic tribe, were conquered in 56 BC by the Romans who incorporated the area into Gaul as part of the province of Aquitania. The Visigoths seized the region in AD 418, but it passed to the Franks in 507. In 732 or 733, Charles Martel ended the Muslim invasion of Western Europe by his victory in the Battle of Poitiers. From the 10th to the mid-12th century, the counts of Poitou were also the dukes of Aquitaine, and the city of Poitiers grew in importance. In 1152, Poitou came under English control through the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry II (later king of England). The region was reunited with the French crown in 1416 and was a province of France until the Revolution (1789-95), when it was divided into three departments, Vienne, Deux-Sevres, and Vendee.
