Description
L’Escargot is a delightful, immaculately presented little cottage in the French countryside. Even though we feel we are in the middle of nowhere we are still not far from everything you might need. We have emergency supplies nearby as are doctors, nurses and pharmacy. Walking and cycling straight from your front door. If you are looking for peace and quiet you have found it. You will find it easy to relax and forget about your worries.
As owners we are on hand but separate.
We have had many return visitors which tells us we have obviously done something right.
Everything has been thought about. As we lived in the gite ourselves for three months we have road tested it.
Although you would assume to come for the summer and the sunshine we highly recommend spring and autumn. Spring as the countryside and the garden are at their best, lush green and an abundance of flowers. Autumn as the heat of the summer lingers but has mellowed. Cooler evenings, which makes sleeping easier but nice days good for walking, biking or lounging by the heated pool.
After a long hot summer the change in the air has a certain promise and freshness for the seasons to come.
Ever changing farmers fields make for new views.

Directions
Directions from St. Malo
Rennes
Nantes
Follow directions Bordeaux but take exit Niort on the A10.
From Niort go direction Ruffec/Limoges.
This is about an hours drive on non-motorway but not too bad. Once you have joined the motorway direction Angouleme again (N10) you take the exit Mansle from there follow as below.
Direction Mansle down the hill, cross the river and at the traffic lights turn left for La Rochefaucould and St. Claud. Go straight ahead out of town, cross the motorway and after 250 yards, turn to the right slightly up the hill direction Puyreaux, Chassenieul and La Rochefaucould.
Follow this road for about 5 miles until at the end you reach a t-junction. Go left into St Angeau following signs for St Amant de B, follow signs to the left.
Go through the village, past the church, down the hill across the Bonnieure and take the first right. This is the D189 direction St Mary and Artenac. Take the second turning left after 0,6 miles indicated as Les Epardeaux and Puyclavaud. After 0,2 miles you will see a metal yellow cow on your left hand and after a further 0,1 mile there is a red fire hydrant on the left corner and take a sharp right into a small road. The gable end of our house is straight ahead, about 200 yards. Either blow your horn or ring the bell!!
