Camping & Gîtes La Forêt de Tessé has a small campsite with 2 fully furnished canvas tents each with their own cooking cabins and a 1 bedroom gîte to rent. The camping field is completely separate from the gîte that has a separate entrance and a courtyard. The Gîte is attached to the main house and is the oldest part of the property dating back to the 16th century. We are located in Grosbout, a peaceful hamlet in the commune of La Forêt de Tessé with a close knit community. Long hot summers and a warm spring and autumn means outside dining is possible from April till the end of October. With no light pollution we have the most amazing clear night skies. We are surrounded by farmland and small woodland. The roads nearby are really quiet and ideal for walking & cycling, there is hardly any traffic. The area is dotted with picturesque villages with beautiful stone houses and chateaus. All the tranquillity of the countryside but shopping, markets, restaurants and supermarkets are only 10 min drive away. Swimming lakes, river swimming and canoeing are about 10 minutes drive away. The N10 motorway that leads down to Spain is 10 minutes away. There are lots to see and do in the area without the crowds of tourists. Ideally located for days out to La Rochelle, Angoulême, Cognac (tasting tours) to name a few. Our ‘Information Folder’ supplied on arrival will contain detailed local information about places to visit, activities, restaurants, supermarkets etc. We are a couple Mark and Ildi. We live on site and are available if you need any help or information. For longer stays change of bedding and towels are included.
