Set in rolling countryside on the edge of the Champagne Route and the Regional Park of the Forêt d'Orient, these cottages are in a great position to visit the three large lakes in the Park, the medievel towns of Troyes and Bar-sur-Aube, have fun at Nigloland the 3rd largest amusement park in France and of course partake in pleasures of exploring the vineyards and tasting champagne. 
 
The barns have been restored to form three cottages with a contemporary finish in terms of bright light walls, open spaces, well equipped new kitchens whilst retaining the charm of the features such as old beams and stone walls where ever possible. Our web site sarahandjames.org provides a great introduction to each cottage and the surrounding grounds. 
 
They comprise: 
LES TOURTERELLES - (160m²) Three double bedrooms with three bathrooms that can sleep 6 or 7 people. This cottage has a wood burner, great for the chilly nights of spring and autumn and indispensible for winter providing great ambience.

Each cottage has its own private terrace situated in front with tressil and climbing plants providing privacy. The wooden furniture on the terrace allows you to eat al fresco. There are also a number terraces available in the large garden where you can eat or have an aprératif watching the sun falling down on the wonderful panorama of fields and forests behind. There is also the BBQ area by our large 'cathedral' like barn that provides sheltered parking for your cars. 
 
The region provides much to do as detailed above as well as provides great walking and cycling country and looking out for wildlife. The Regional Park provides a wonderful place to see the wild deer, boars and birds many who migrate through this area. Alternatively, you can swim in our large outdoor heated pool, 15m x 7m which is open from mid-May through to mid-September, play table tennis on oneof our terraces or play Boules. Having said that, you may end up relaxing onthe sun loungers or under the trees that line our long garden.  
 
The lakes near by are a must for water lovers providing sandy beaches with protected swimming, a lake deicated to water sports such as sailing and windsurfing, another for skiing and jet skiing and the third dedicated to wildlife, being the big lake in europe with no habitation around its edge. 
 
For those who love shopping, at Troyes, 45 minutes drive from us, there is the largest factory outlet shopping on the outskirts to a choice of select shops in the centre. We just love wandering around the pedestrian small streets in the medieval centre with the tall wooden framed houses jostling for space towering above an architectural feast! 
 
Eclance is a small village with an active social life and our visitors are welcomed to join in with any activity. There is a large choice of restaurants only 5 and 15 minutes drive should you wish to eat out.

This lovely unspoilt area of France is not well known and gives a real insight into the life of rural France. Situated in the centre of a small village facing the church and presbytery, the grounds of La Ferme des Tourterelles have a wonderful panorama of rolling hills of fields and forests. There is much to occupy you with regards to traveling and tasting the delights on the Champagne Route and exploring the medieval towns of Troyes and Bar-sur-Aube.
If relaxing by the pool, playing boules under the shade of trees and soaking in the panoramas is not for you, the roads make for great cycling with little traffic and there are many hiking routes, short and long. The grounds face the forests of the Parc Regional Naturel of the Forest of the Orient, a large park host to much wildlife and three big lakes. One of the lakes is the largest in Europe with no habitation around; the others are devoted to water sports. The converted barns are named after the birds that have settled here, namely the turtle doves, swallows and sparrows. The seasons become very apparent with the migratory birds including the cranes that pass overhead and who settle close by.
For the children, there is Nigloland only five minutes drive, the third largest amusement park in France (great value, set in forest and gardens), working farms to visit and a tree walk/adventure park to name a few. This does not exclude the adults of course. Nearby at Troyes, the centre is amazing to walk through with the lovely old timber buildings and on the edge of town, the largest factory outlets in Europe if you need a bit of retail therapy!
Sarah and James (an English couple who have now made France their home), live in the farmhouse close by and are more than happy to help you out with recommendations. Whilst Eclance is a small village, the villagers have welcomed both Sarah and James and their guests who are more than welcome to join in village life and social occasions.
