Les Passetries
About the home
Les Passetries nestles on the edge of the quaint village of Vernoil-le-Fourrier with just a short journey on to the beautiful, historical town of Saumur. Traditional fireplaces (with woodburners for winter) and rustic beams give a relaxed feel to this charming farmhouse. Two spacious bedrooms sleeping 5 + baby, make this gite an ideal getaway for families or couples.
The outdoor swimming pool set within an ancient stone terrace is an ideal spot to relax in the sun. During the evening, switch on the floodlights, light the barbeque and enjoy a glass of wine from one of the nearby vineyards. Tall entrance gates ensure the garden is both safe and secluded. This beautiful area of the Loire Valley provides plenty of attractions – from winemaking to Troglodyte villages, or a day spent relaxing on the shores of the lake at Rille.

The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region


The River Loire winds lazily through this region known to many as the Garden of France; the Loire Valley is a truly beautiful area to visit. Rolling landscapes of sunflower fields and vineyards contrast with medieval chateaux and elegant towns.
Experience fine cuisine at top restaurants, sample the best wines synonymous with the region or explore the picturesque villages that make up rural France.
Water sports, cycling and horse-riding are ideal pastimes or simply relax with a glass of wine and watch the world go by. The Loire Valley has so much to offer, you will be compelled to visit time and again!
The Saumur / Vernoil area
LES PASSETRIES nestles within a small hamlet on the outskirts of VERNOIL-LE-FOURRIER; this charming village offers all the amenities expected of rural France: the traditional boulangerie selling delicious, fresh bread • supermarket • post office • several bars • there is even a little shop selling everything English for those who miss their baked beans or Marmite!
Just 2.2km along is the picturesque village of VERNANTES, offering further amenities and a weekly market.
A 20-minute drive away, the elegant town of SAUMUR sits on the river Loire. Amazing restaurants, exquisite boutiques, stunning architecture - many hours can be whiled away exploring quaint back streets and busy boulevards. Purchase exquisite foods from the charcuterie and fromagere, browse the antique shops and visit the wine cellars. Don’t miss the Saturday market!
The tranquil LAC DE RILLE is a 20-minute drive. Divided into two areas, this beautiful lake offers swimming and water activities from its sandy shores. Crossing the causeway leads into an unspoilt nature reserve and wildlife haven. The lake offers excellent fishing and a small steam train runs around the outskirts of the lake.
You will find many attractions in the local area from vineyards and wine cellars to mushroom caves and troglodyte villages. A trip to the zoo at Doue la Fontaine is a must for families!

With excellent directions to find the property, we were delighted to walk through the rose and lily filled flower beds leading to the front door. Opening the stable-door we were pleased to see in the sparkling kitchen, on the table, a welcome letter and a bottle of wine. The beginning of a lovely fortnights' holiday. Comfortable beds with en-suite facilities and constant hot water; all necessary mod-cons provided. Within the large gardens we were able to find eating areas in the sun or shade, and the pool proved a good place to cool off - especially as we were blessed with very hot weather. The gite was very spacious; just like home-from-home. Congratulations to the owners!! |

We have had the pleasure of staying at Les Passetries twice and on both occasions have had wonderful holidays. The house is very well presented and well stocked with enough books and DVDs to keep the adults and children amused during lazy days. There are many interesting places to visit with vineyards, châteaus and beautiful towns all very close at hand. The children had a fantastic time in the garden and (especially) the pool which is set in a gorgeous mediterranean-style terrace complete with its own fig-tree! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Les Passetries and hope to return soon. We found the owners to be very accommodating and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely house for your holiday. |

Have been to the Loire for more years than I can remember and as this is my second visit to Les Passetries just have to commend this lovely gite. So very well organised from start to finish with the Owners a delight to deal with. Am not going to tell you all the places of interest....find them for yourself but do delight in the lovely location with evenings around the pool being so memorable. Just a little sad that bookings for 2012 seem to be going crazy and I want to go back the sooner the better. |
