The Experience
Tucked in the corner of Brenne Natural Regional Park, a vast parkland dotted with over 2,000 lakes which are a haven for wildlife and migratory birds, is a charming home-from-home. Friendly owners live in the adjacent farmhouse and are full of tips on how best to discover the area, from markets and restaurants to cultural and historical sites.
Families can relax in this comfortable, renovated barn filled with original art. You get two generous en suite bedrooms and a twin mezzanine for children (mind the steep stairs) plus a neat kitchen and a separate dining/living space. Every window looks out to immaculately kept grounds and fields. It’s all yours to roam including three lakes to stroll around and a veg patch you may plunder.
Eat out in nearby Lureuil (4km), return for a game of pétanque followed by a digestif in your leafy paved terrace as you soak up the total peace and quiet.

I visited on a beautiful sunny autumn day and was enchanted by the setting and the welcoming atmosphere. The gîte has been meticulously restored and converted, while retaining many original features – oak beams and terracotta tiled floors. I was made to feel very welcome by the owners, who are charming and friendly.

Introducing
Michel & Lavinia Pierre
Lavinia and Michel are on hand to offer advice and recommendations. Lavinia is Italian, an amateur string player and a member of several local orchestras, and Michel is an art and wine connoisseur with vast sailing experience. They lived in Corsica and Rome before moving to the Indre 20 years ago where they settled and raised their family.
We had a lovely time the house and grounds were spectacular, quiet and lots to see. Michel et Lavinia were so friendly and made us feel at home. Michel even found us a garage to fix our tyre. Would highly recommend.
