We are also happy to keep you informed of local events and get the best experience out of them.

Vacation rentals, or gites in France come in many guises, our holiday accommodation is in a village close to amenities such as boulangeries (bakers), restaurants and grocers.

Loire Valley vacation rental in the village of Barrou

Old Walnut Mill

Our holiday cottage 'The Old Walnut Mill' is in Barrou, a small village in Southern Touraine to where we have guests returning for the third and fourth time...so we must be doing something right! Here is our favourite quote from a returning guest: 

 

"The small village experience was great and made us feel part of the landscape rather than just passing tourists."

 

From 'Old Walnut Mill' vacation rental guestbook:

 

'Dear Pauline & Jim, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality, your invaluable guidance/advice on where to go, what to see, where to eat etc and especially for your invitation to the 'moules frites' night in the village which was an unforgettable experience. We have gained a fabulous insight into the beautiful rural France and will take home lots of happy memories.'

 

Many thanks and our very best wishes,

Jennifer & John
