This domain occupies 6 hectares of land, half of which is wooded and protected for nature, bordered by the Allemette river. The cultivated gardens offer an outdoor dining space at the front and rear of the house, terrace to enjoy a quiet drink at the end of the day, swinging day bed for that book or to dream plus deckchairs/loungers. We also have badminton and other garden games available as well as board games. Totally organic, we cultivate our own fruit and vegetables. Home to contemporary Artist Elaine Brett, Rose a Fell pony and Henri rescued hunting hound. Elaine's low-impact ceramics and oil pastel drawings are for sale, and you will often see her working in her studio or garden.

You are most welcome, and we look forward to introducing you to this very quiet and often overlooked part of rural France. Children are very welcome.
Nature and surroundings
We live in the Brenne Nature Reserve 'home to a thousand lakes', loved by many for the wildlife, flowers, fauna. Known for the many birds that live permanently or migrate to the region, its rich in history dating back to the middle-ages when Benedictine monks built monastries and created the fishing lakes (smoked carp still being produced locally) and perfect for cycling, walking or simply being. Check out www.parc-naturel-brenne.fr Le Domaine is an easy walk to Château Guillaume, reputed to be the birthplace of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a local landmark that you can visit, or take a picnic and enjoy a circular walk around the Chateau taking in the tranquility.
