Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! 2 pretty countryside cottages located on the Compostela Pilgrim Route.

Just a few kilometres from Gargilesse Dampierre, rated one of the most beautiful villages in France and once the country home of the famous French author, George Sand. These days, the village is home to artists, potters and musicians, along with galleries, restaurants, a chateau and an ancient church.

Surrounding villages, steeped in charm each have something to offer - discover the best butchers, cheese shop, bakeries and restaurants favoured by locals. Street brocantes and summer festivals pop up everywhere during the summer season in this active area.

Close to Argenton-sur-Creuse with its scenic medieval houses clinging to the side of the river. Here, there are supermarkets, boutiques, nightlife, a museum housing important Roman ruins and an amphitheatre. Argenton is situated close to the Brenne National Park with its lakes teeming with wildlife, and pretty villages. There is a direct train from Argenton to Paris, just under 2 hours away.

Swim in the beautiful lakes of Bonnu and Fougères with their characterful cafes and bars; kayaking at Crozant, yet another stunning village with its large church, and ruined chateau clinging to a granite outcrop.
