Excellent setting for a long overdue reunion

With nine adults and one child, this house was perfect for our group. We found the fireplace and large dining area to be perfect for our reunion. The games room and outdoor ping pong table were also greatly appreciated by our group. In summer, the three different outdoor areas would also be appreciated, however we stayed mainly indoors. Great communication from Stephen when we had questions. Loved our stay. Hope to return some day in the Summer.

Maison et environnement magnifique en pleine campagne

Nous avons loué ce gîte pour un anniversaire en famille. C’est vraiment l’endroit idéal, l’espace autant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur, le charme d’une demeure ancienne avec tout le confort aussi bien dans l’équipement que dans les activités proposées à l’extérieur (Ping pong, foot, barbecue, brasero…). Nous avons mangé dehors, et nous avons passé un séjour fabuleux!! Merci

Magnifique, Fabuleux

Demeure magnifique, exceptionnellement bien équipée, il y a tout. Rien ne manque. Notre Hôte a été très à l'écoute et répond rapidement. Nous avons passé un fabuleux séjour entre amis. Nous nous y sommes sentis comme chez nous toute de suite. Nous avons très envie d'y revenir aux beaux jours pour profiter de l'extérieur qui est tout aussi magnifique.

Perfect break in rural France

We were only a small group of six (plus one dog) so we had plenty of room in this large house. We chose to stay here owing to its quiet, rural location and large open spaces, although it is only a short drive from several large towns. It is an attractive property (as shown in the photographs) and the rooms are really spacious; it was clean and comfortable and lacked nothing in the way of facilities or equipment. Great use has been made of the outside spaces where we made the most of the warm summer evenings. Check-in was straightforward and Stephen was always a quick email away. We only needed to contact him prior to our stay and he responded quickly. Overall we had a fantastic week here and enjoyed our stay immensely (we wish it could have been longer). We would have no hesitation in staying here again should we return to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Girardin

My parents bought this property when i was 4, and all my childhood memories remain in the walls of this house. I used to live in Paris when i grew up, and we would go to this house every single weekend! After studying biology at the Pasteur Institute (Paris) for several years, I moved with my wife and our two kids to Toronto, where i do research at the University of Toronto.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this house in 1975, my parents fell in love with the location: so quiet, so secluded, yet so close to Paris (1h drive). The house is surrounded by rolling hills of open farmland, and the only noise you hear is birds singing!
However, when we bought the house, it was in a very rough shape. The roof was leaking and we had to change 500 square meters of roof tiles!! There was no toilet, no bathroom, no heat, and only the kitchen and a bedroom were 'livable'. After nearly 40 years of renovations, we uncovered the original gem, fully renovated 275 square meters of living space, kept the original charm of the old farmhouse, but brought comfort and high-end finish throughout.
