We have been successfully renting our house for 6 years and believe it is still good value, despite the strong Euro, compared with the cost of a holiday in Devon or Cornwall. A detached house for £295 per week for 4 people in July and August has to be a bargain!

Our detached house is light and spacious and situated in the second sunniest part of France, on a quiet back street 3 minutes gentle walk into the pretty village of Moncoutant with its local shops (bakery, butchers, mini supermarket, hairdresser), bars and restaurants. Outside the double kitchen doors is a shaded area for your morning coffee and croissant, and beyond is a large garden with BBQ area, flowers, fruit trees and ornamental grasses. At the front is a balcony where you can sip your wine after a hard days relaxing and watch the sun go down!

The Hotel de Ville on the way to the village will supply you with details of the many festivals and events in the area. Fifteen minutes gentle stroll down the road is the Pescalis Fishing and Nature Reserve for lakeside walks and restaurants. 20 minutes drive takes you to the ancient town of Bressuire with its chateau and twice weekly markets.

The house comprises a large lounge with 2 double settees, and sky tv, leading through sliding oak doors to the kitchen which is fully equipped with built-in oak cupbaords and is also used as the dining area. In summer we like to throw open the kitchen doors to the garden and enjoy the view. There is a large cooker with 3 gas and 1 electric hob, plus electric oven, and a large built-in fridge/freezer. The kitchen is fully equipped with toaster, cafetiere, microwave, pots, pans & crockery to save money on eating out every day. There is a large bathroom and separate W.C/cloakroom.

The oak staircase takes you up to the two double bedrooms which overlook the garden. There is also a single bedroom with views over the countryside. All bedrooms are very light and airy.

Under the house is a double garage for secure parking.

Venise Verte (green Venice)– a network of canals and waterway. Coulon and Arcais are very pretty towns and you can either hire a bike, or take a canoe or punt and spend a relaxing afternoon amongst the leafy green waterways. On the way back visit the market at Coulonges sur l’Autize (Tuesdays).

Puy du Fou - an incredible historical theme park by day with battle re-enactments by gladiators in a full-size colosseum, jousting medieval knights, Vikings, and hunting birds “dancing” to music. By night the population of 15 communes retell their story in a “son et lumiere” spectacle of fireworks, fountains, lasers and stunt riding against the flaming background of a ruined fortress. Advance booking required during the summer months.

Futuroscope at Poitiers also amazing.

Medieval Parthenay and La Rochelle are well worth a visit and have superb restaurants. Chateaux and vinyards of the Loire are an hour away.
