PRETTY STUDIO GITE FOR TWO PEOPLE
Pretty studio gite.
A delightful one bedroom gite with fully fitted kitchen, French & English TV & Wi-Fi
This is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday or an ideal base for property hunting. Located on the edge of the peaceful village of Champagné le sec which is surrounded by fields of sunflowers and local crops. There are numerous way-marked walks of varying lengths. All on flat terrain, so not too strenuous and no need for hiking boots! Just take a picnic and enjoy strolling through the local hamlets and admiring the countryside. If you prefer a gentle cycle ride, we have bikes available on request.
You'll have use of a BBQ and a dedicated seating area with table and chairs. You are also welcome to make use our orchard and sample as much of the seasonal fruit as you can eat!!
There are three major supermarkets within about ten minutes drive. The local town of Civray (10 minutes) has bars, restaurants and a twice weekly market and even a cinema which sometimes shows English films. You'll also find the new indoor/outdoor pool open seven days a week.
If you are property hunting, you will be located in the south Vienne, ideally situated for property searching in the Vienne and Deux-Sevres departements. Just five minutes drive from the RN10, the main route between Poitiers and Angouleme. We're always on hand to help with your property hunting needs.

About the host
Hosted by Lesley Byrne
Having found ourselves in a position to fulfill a long standing ambition, we set off on an adventure to relocate to France. After searching the area for a while, we found our beautiful house on the edge of Champagné le Sec. We bought it and came to live in this beautiful part of rural France in 2013. We settled on this area for numerous reasons. Firstly, because of it's reputation as the second sunniest place in France!! Also, because of its proximity to Poitiers airport (36 minutes), Limoges airport (90 minutes), the RN10 (five minutes) and its outstanding beauty and tranquility. It's handy for shops and supermarkets, easy to get to the airport and we can be on the RN10, which is the main route from the North of France down to Spain, within 5 minutes.
Once we'd moved in, we immediately set about creating the holiday gite we've wanted for such a long time.
We hope you'll enjoy your time here.

Why they chose this property
We love the traditional Charentaise Longere style. Ours is a beautiful example which we hope to renovate and restore.
It's in a fabulous location in the heart of rural France and it gives us the space we've always wanted..
