Description du bien
Here’s a little taster to set the scene: Imagine hearing nothing but the birds chirruping whilst watching hummingbird moths feed on lavender nectar. Picture yourself watching the swallows dip in and out of the pool as you recline on your sun bed, then sitting on your private terrace in the evening with a glass of your favourite tipple watching the sunset and laying on the warm grass looking up at the vastness of the Milky Way
However, if all this relaxing is too much you could always explore the nearby historic villages and markets and have a mooch about at the numerous brocantes. If you’re feeling energetic there are miles of walking and cycle paths (chemins) right from your door. If you’re feeling really energetic, you could try kayaking down the Vienne river or go crazy and try a bungy jump from the viaduct at l’Isle Jourdain
To sum up, here at Rose Cottage, there is everything you need to switch off, wind down and re-charge. This is an ideal place for a couple or solo traveller and you will be warmly welcomed at our place
Rose Cottage is part of an 18th century barn expertly converted into a charming and spacious self-catering cottage, perfect for couples looking for a short break or longer holiday. It retains much of the original character including wooden beams and exposed stone walls whilst blending the modern comforts of double glazing, ceramic and wooden floors throughout and quality fixtures and fittings. The gite sleeps up to two people and has a private terrace equipped with outside furniture, sun loungers and a parasol where you can relax and take in the views. The private pool terrace is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens where you can relax, soak up the sun and enjoy the private in-the-gound heated pool. The lush gardens and surrounding fields are a haven for a wide variety of wildlife including deer, hares, buzzards, owls, hoopoes, herons, egrets, bats, gheckos, hummingbird moths and a plethora of butterflies. The land around the property is organically farmed allowing an abundance of both flora and fauna to flourish
We have pleasure in providing all linen, bathroom, kitchen and pool towels to make your holiday as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The gite is equipped with a washing machine, clothes airer, cleaning materials and a vacuum cleaner. Free parking is available for two cars outside the gite.

A barbeque is provided
Petanque Pitch: Petanque, or boules, is an extremely popular game in France. The Petanque pitch at Rose Cottage, under the magnificent oak tree, is a great way to relax, have fun and enjoy your French holiday even more.

Visit to Poitiers
Poitiers is about 40 minutes drive away. Its Romanesque church of Église Notre-Dame la Grande is known for its intricately carved facade, which illustrates episodes from the Bible. At Christmas and on summer evenings, the church features a colourful light show. Eglise St-Hilaire le Grand, consecrated in 1049, is a grandiose Romanesque church which appears on Unesco's list of World Heritage sites as a stop on the Chemin de St-Jacques de Compostelle. Cathédrale St-Pierre, the town's grand Gothic cathedral safeguards beautiful 13th-century oak-carved choir stalls, an 18th-century organ with more than 3000 pipes and exceptional stained glass: the 12th-century window (1160–70) illustrating the Crucifixion and the Ascension at the far end of the choir is one of the oldest in France. It was given to the cathedral by Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II Plantagenet, King of England, who wed here in 1152
The pedestrian centre is peppered with cafe pavement terraces and places to eat; a handful of decent brasseries and bistros are on rue Sadi Carnot. Shopping is very good with a selection of local and international shops with chocolate, clothes and shoe shops in abundance
Visit to Civray
The little market town of Civray is the nearest town and sits on the banks of the lovely Charente River. Tranquil and unspoiled, the town is dominated by an impressive Romanesque church. This can be glimpsed from the far banks of the river through the trees, or seen in all its splendour from the main square of the town where it looks down onto pavement cafés and a twice weekly market
Civray is typically Charantaise in style, with soft grey stone houses and pale blue shutters. Although Civray is an old and peaceful place, the town has kept up with the demands of 21st century life. There are all the facilities you will need for everyday life here in the town, with supermarkets, doctors, dentists, banks and schools. There are also a variety of cafés, bars and restaurants for your enjoyment
Romanesque church
The church of Saint Nicholas, which is such an impressive feature of the town, is known as one of the earliest and finest examples of Romanesque architecture in the region. The building, which dates back to the twelfth century, stands tall, overlooking the pavement cafés in the main square to one side, and the River Charente to the other
Broccantes
The French love their antiques, and Civray is a magnet for collectors as the town hosts no less than three yearly antiques fairs. Collectors come from all over the region to seek their treasures here, and experienced dealers jostle shoulders with enthusiastic amateurs
Riverside walks
The town, being set on the River Charente, is a joy for walkers, and there are some lovely riverside paths easily accessible from Civray. The area is also great for cycling and horse-riding, as the gentle countryside lends itself well to most outdoor pursuits
Visit to Futuroscope
This futuristic theme park takes you whizzing through space, diving into the deep-blue ocean depths, and racing around city streets and on a close encounter with creatures of the future, among many other space-age cinematic experiences. To keep things cutting edge, one-third of the attractions change annually. Many are motion-seat set-ups requiring a minimum height of 120cm, but there's a play area for younger children with miniature cars and so on. Allow at least five hours to see the major attractions; two days to see everything. Futuroscope is 10km north of Poitiers in Jaunay-Clan (take exit 28 off the A10)
Visit to Monkey Park
Those looking to spend an enjoyable and unusual day out won't have to travel far. We are close to the fabulous Vallée des Singes, where you can wander through the extensive grounds and see hundreds of monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees playing free in a natural habitat. The screeches fill the air as you walk around (becoming deafening at feeding time!), and if you look up, the chances are you will catch sight of monkeys swinging from tree to tree right above your head!
