Surgeres 

The closest small town to our gites, Ideal for a shopping and nice for strolling around in the center.

Busy springtime for the birds this year

 Every year Birds nest and have chicks in our old buildings and barns, this year we have our usual sparrows and house martins but missing are the little owls but instead for the first time we have Kestrels! One of our guests has kindly sent me some photo's of when they were very small and he managed to catch the mother in the nest too.

 and 

Spring time at the gites and Landrais

Its warming up, the sun is out, the migratory birds are back, the landscape has turned to a nice shade of green and the flowers and trees are starting to show there true colours and blossom. I love this time of the year in the Charente Maritime.   

 

Happy New Year

 

Wishing all our Guest's past and future a Happy & Healthy New Year in 2025

Farmhouse

 

The spacious 2 bedroom Farmhouse, ideal for families who need lots of living room.

 My 2 favourite teams slog it out here in La Rochelle this Sunday for the European rugby champions cup next round. Battle of the giants, come on.
