We really enjoyed our holiday at La Metairie. It was very secure for our children who had a fabulous time and loved the ducks, chicks, cats and the very friendly dog. The pool as well as the table tennis and badminton facilities were great to keep everybody entertained. Mark and Anita couldn't have been more helpful and gave us plenty of advice on where to go and what to do. The gite was great and contained everything we needed. Shopping in Parthenay was also convenient. A great family holiday! |

"We decided that we'd come to France, and found this place quite by chance. Ducks, chicks, dog & pool are all very cool, and the peace did our hols enhance. The weather was hot, & we stayed by the pool quite a lot, but sadly, now, it's time for us home to trot."
The Fair family, West Sussex.
