That means we will welcome you on arrival, show you around, and always be available should there be anything you need. However, we will always respect your privacy and personal space. This is a French "hamlet". There are four families living in the hamlet and two holiday homes. The hamlet is surrounded by open fields and woodland. Almost devoid of traffic, you will really "hear the silence". At night, there is no light pollution. In the summer, you will be deafened only by the sound of birds and insects and the occasional tractor. You will need a car. Shops and other commercial amenities are 4km away. In the nearest town of Chalais, you will find a weekly market, restaurants, and bars, all open year round. A tourist bureau, chemists, doctors and dentists are there as well. * We have a book of information that we will send you three days before your arrival. We can also send you a list of local off-road routes, for joggers, walkers and off-road cyclists. * There are no pool "opening and closing" hours. The pool has lighting so summer swimming can continue until late. * All rooms have a hairdryer, and one USB socket. * The TV has UK Freeview available and French TNT is available as well. There is also a DVD player and many DVD's available on loan.
