Le Bousi
£750–£950 / week
About the home
Set in the tranquil, wooded countryside of the Loire Valley area in France just 20 minutes north of Saumur, and 45 minutes from Tours airport, Le Bousi is an authentic, stress-free holiday retreat. Entirely private and with plenty of garden space, it is a haven for walkers, cyclists, horse-lovers and bird-watchers (with nearby birds of prey and nesting hen-harriers). The Le Mans circuit with its classic car and 24 hour races is only a 45 minute drive. Our large stone gite is ideal for families, even 2 families together.
The house boasts a private pool which has a very recently installed terrace so you can enjoy the all-day sunshine on a lounger. You don't even need to make it as far as the house for that refreshing drink, our summer kitchen has its own fridge.

The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region


The surrounding area is extremely rural and there are many walks and bridleways connecting the local villages, the roads are very quiet too.
Apart from the village of Mouliherne the gite is just 20 minutes drive from the beautiful Loire tourist hub of Saumur, where you will find a mulitude of activities including Loire canoe trips, wine tasting, brocante shopping, local markets and much more.
The Vernantes / Mouliherne area
Mouliherne has excellent local amenities including a baker, local shop and 2 bars where you can always find a decent pub meal. Within 10km you can find local markets, horseriding, watersports, quality golf (18 hole course) and of course the beautiful Loire countryside.

Eurotunnel provides the quickest cross-Channel crossing (35min); P&O, Sea France and Norfolk Line run ferry services between Dover and Calais and Dunkirk; Brittany Ferries and LD Lines provide good links to France to a number of different ports. Driving time from Calais is only 5 hours but we recommend Portsmouth to either Le Havre or Caen for the shortest drive to Mouliherne. Tolls from Caen to Le Mans total only E13.50 each way for fast, traffic free driving. From Le Mans, we suggest taking the country roads through Le Lude (with its castle and restaurants on the river) and Noyant.
Tours airport provides easy access to the area (only 45min drive from our gite) with regular flights from Stansted and Birmingham.
Paris is easily accessible either by train or by road. The TGV runs directly to Le Mans or Tours although the closest station is Vaas around 30 km away which is easily reached by train from Le Mans.
