Quiet house with wooded garden, 1km from the Briare canal. Terrace, bikes.

A short distance from ecotours, motor boating, and more, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Loire Valley is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 36-minute drive to Canal Bridge Briare. Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1023-sq-ft vacation home. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player. This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
