We stayed at Les Bouleaux for the first two weeks in July with two teenagers (16 and 19).
The accommodation was a real home from home and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
We enjoyed the large enclosed garden and made good use of the private pool as temperatures reached over 30C most days.
It is a very peaceful location for those lazy days by the pool, but there are activities to keep others happy.
The bikes available were great and were useful when travelling to the nearby village for a leisurely lunch about 4km away.
A car is essential for visiting places further afield as the location is quite rural but local supermarkets, restaurants etc are no distance away.
There are many beautiful villages and towns to explore and many markets to wander round, all within an hours drive.
We hired canoes at Tocane-Saint-Apre. where they transported us up river and we enjoyed 4 or 5 hours travelling back on the water with a stop for a picnic and ice cream half way.
Although there were a few weirs to negotiate, most was paddling along open stretches of river.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend it to others.
We have holidayed in France many times and found this gite to be one of the best we’ve used. A good time had by all!
