Built in 1750 and situated at the end of the private wooded path, as soon as you walk into the building you get a great sense of the soul of the place.  Beautifully renovated, the grandeur of the 76m2 living room with its cathedral ceiling and beautiful fireplace is quite inspiring.  Here’s the lay-out.

The house is situated in a quiet hamlet deep in the French countryside.  It’s just over a 2km bike ride to pick up the daily bread from the boulangerie in the next village, while all the services and amenities you might need can be found in the nearby town of Duras, a 10 minute drive away.
