When we renovated the property we purposely designed all the rooms in the two gites, (Le Sauvignon /Le Chenin), with en-suite facilities so that they could be used as either Gites or Bed and Breakfast accommodation. Thus each room, when used for the latter, effectively includes a private suite consisting of a lounge area with comfortable sofas, Satellite TV/DVD, library of books, board games, large chess table, all inviting a very relaxing stay! There is also a kitchen equipped to the same high standard which we have set for our holiday gite accommodation equipped with tables and chairs, microwave oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, kettle, and we offer a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate refreshments to be taken at your leisure during your stay, not to mention the selection of local wines available in the wine chais. We are situated in the attractive wine village of Le Puy Notre Dame, village of charm, in the midst of the Saumurois vineyards. The village has a restaurant, two bars, bakery, post office, pharmacy, Office of Tourism and is a wonderful place for vineyard walks, cycling, wine tasting or just chilling out. We are also very near to Saumur, the regional centre. With its location on the side of the Loire, its fairy tale Chateau, its famous cavalry school, history and general ambiance, it is regarded as one of the prettiest of France's provincial towns. The fact that the Loire is one of the most visited regions of France speaks for itself, but we are also ideally situated for bed and breakfast guests wishing to break their journey down to the south of France. This region is where much of the history of France, (and England) has been enacted. Jeanne d' Arc held her historic meeting with the Dauphin in nearby Chinon, whilst the last resting place of Richard the Lionheart is in the historic Royal Abbey of Fontenvraud, just 15 minutes. away. The Loire is, of course, famous for its Chateaux and deservedly so. A unique collection of Medieval and Renaissance castles stretching the length of the western and central Loire, ranging from the Medieval Fortress at Angers to King René's love palace at Saumur. The chateau at Ussé is reputed to be the inspiration behind, "The Sleeping Beauty", whilst the nearby town of Brissac-Quince hosts the tallest chateau in the Loire. The scenery is gentle and very welcoming with its rolling slopes covered in the vines which make some of the best value wine in France.
