Classic Family Gite Holidays On The Farm - Loads of Great Family Days Out
Classic family Gite holidays in the surroundings of our beautiful farm in the Vienne (Dept 86). Come and spend a relaxing week or two in our rustic Gites (Holiday cottages). We offer two Gites - Gite One for two people, and Gite Two for four people (plus additional ensuite daybed). Book now for 2020.
Come and have a great family holiday with loads of outings and things to do before returning at the end of the day to our tranquil farm. See below for our best picks - There really is a lot to do in the beautiful Vienne.
La Jouachere, is situated away from neighbours, surrounded by our own low intensivity organic (Bio) farmland enjoying views over the spectacular Vienne valley. We pride ourselves on providing as natural a habitat as possible for birds and wildlife - as well as guests and sheep. We are a small scale working farm (non stinky), following sustainable practices and would be happy to share some experiences with our guests – adult or children alike. Ducks, chickens and geese need feeding as do the flocks of sheep.
La Jouachere is just outside Queaux (http://www.queaux.fr) overlooking the Vienne river valley in the Department of La Vienne (86). The end of our drive gives onto a network of bridleways - ideal for mountain biking and hiking.
Many thanks to our fabulous 2019 guests - don't miss out for 2020!
