Gite housed in a former farmhouse located in a rural hamlet, near the Chinon Forest and the Indre Valley, on a two-hectare wooded park. Wines can be purchased from winegrowers recommended by the owner.
Ground floor: 27 m² living room-kitchen (multifunction oven, non-convertible sofa), 1st bedroom (two 90cm single beds), 2nd bedroom (one 140cm double bed), shower room, toilet.

Swings, pétanque court, and badminton court are available, along with equipment. Non-smoking accommodation. The cottage, located in a hamlet, was renovated in 1995 in keeping with traditional construction. Don't forget to visit the village of Cheillé, where you'll notice the three-hundred-year-old oak tree that grew through the church walls at the Château de l'Islette (the site of Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin's passionate love affair).
The setting is ideal for hiking in the Chinon Forest, 500 meters away (near the GR3), and for numerous hiking and cycling trails (the Indre by bike in the heart of the Indre Valley, so dear to Balzac, and "The Lily of the Valley"). Canoeing and kayaking are available on the Indre River. Close to the Châteaux of Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry, Langeais, Rigny-Ussé, Chinon, Rivau, and Saché. A stone's throw from the troglodyte village and basketry of Villaines-les-Rochers, the specialty of the pear tapée in Rivarennes, and the riverside village of Bréhémont.
Recommendations for tasting AOC wines from Azay-le-Rideau and/or Chinon are available upon recommendation from the owner.
