Deux Sevres Holiday Gite to rent, Nr Argenton Les Vallees - Le Chene Reviews

We returned to La Charrière again this summer – our fourth visit – for another fantastic holiday. We stayed in the bigger gite with my brother and sister-in-law and kids. The gite is very spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Lots of bathrooms are very helpful with lots of little children! The seating terrace and BBQ area, which overlooks fields at the rear of the house is so peaceful. We have lovely memories of watching the sun go down with a glass of wine! The swimming pool area is very well maintained and a good size with two boxes full of bits and bobs for the children to play with in the water. We all enjoyed the play barn. Great toys for the children and sporting equipment for the adults. We really did mean to play badminton but kept finding ourselves back on that terrace with the wine… We loved using the bikes (huge range to choose from) and the roads are so quiet that we could go on long rides with even our beginner, wobbly rider. We love the location. It is very peaceful and you really feel away from it all. Good shop in village. Nearby town has a bigger supermarket and everything else you might need. We loved a day trip to Parc de la Vallee for the children – very reasonable, great rides including loads for tiny ones and hardly any queues. Also like the local swimming pool with slides and the lake. This year we tried canoeing on the river which was a great success. Paul and Charlotte are wonderful hosts and always on hand to help out with bike problems, cuddle wailing infants, organise canoe trips, offer advice on local wine selection and pop in with delicious fresh veg from their garden etc etc!! We’ve booked again for next year. Perfect family holiday.
