Our Gites are
situated in the peaceful rural village of Champagné les Marais where
you will find a small selection of shops and amenities all within a
few minutes walk.
The Cottages which are
renovated to a high standard from an ancient barn have original high
ceilings with exposed beams and stone
walls. They are comfortably
furnished, bright and clean, with modern kitchens and decoration .
Included are DVD and Video Players.
From the lounge, french doors lead
you on to a large communal lawned garden ( for guests use ) which is
bordered by fruit trees ( cherry, apple, prune , plum, apricot
