A warm welcome awaits you at "Logis de la Croix" located in the picturesque village of Gibourne which is set in the heart of Charente Maritime in the southwest region of France.
We have lived in Gibourne since 2000 and opened our family run business the following year. We have developed this 17th French century farmhouse and attached barns into self catering family friendly accommodation comprising of 4 individual holiday homes / cottages or gites.
Our four family friendly homes offer a variety of comfortable accommodation with heated swimming pool and splash pool. The gites are situated in Gibourne, 20 minutes from St Jean D'Angely
Gibourne is a traditional French village, peaceful and tranquil, and surrounded by rolling farmland. The pretty town of Matha - 5 minutes - has supermarkets, banks, restaurants, bars, and an outdoor pool with slides.

The ground floor of this 200 year old house is open plan, with exposed beams and stone walls. The massive fire place has been carefully restored. The lounge area has a sofa and chairs facing a TV (with UK Satellite TV) and DVD player with a selection of films.
