'La Maison d'Hêtre'
"a little piece of French heaven"
A beautiful detached holiday home in a peaceful village in South - West France
Over the course of seven years, we have transformed an old run down cottage into a bright, spacious place to be. With 3 fantastic bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a large dining kitchen and comfortable lounge, La Maison d'Hêtre can sleep up to 9 people. With a large dining table under our giant pergola, there is plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy outdoor meals any time of the day or night. We also have a separate 'Gin area' where adults can 'relax' with an aperitif whilst the children enjoy our huge above ground pool.
What to do!?
If you are wanting to explore the local area, here are a few suggestions!
Visit a 'plan d'eau'
Plan d'eau are lakes, ponds and sometimes beaches where the public can visit to swim, have picnics, fish or just enjoy the countryside. There are several of these within a short drive of la Maison d'Hêtre.
Visit a historic town or chateau.
France is known for its historic town and Chateax. We even have a chateau of our own just a few metres away but unfortunately its not open to the public! Choose fromPoitiers, Angoulême, St-Jean-d'Angély, Chauvigny and Parthenay.
The nearest Chateaux open to the public are Chateau Javarzy, Château de Dampierre-sur-Boutonne and Château de Saveille.
Visit 'la vallee des singes'
Vallee des singes is a top tourist attraction only 30km away. The unique wildlife park dedicated to primates was founded in 1998. It is a place of amusement and knowledge promoting ecological awareness. Since its creation, the main objective of the park is to contribute in protection of nature, environment and primates. La Vallée des Singes offers to its visitors a unique experience through a full immersion into the fascinating world of primates. This wildlife park is 100% different; there are no cages, no fences but 450 monkeys freely living on a wide area of 22 hectares. Here, visitors are the ones who have the privilege to enter the monkeys’ territory. You have the possibility to observe the little monkeys with only a few steps away from you, as well as the great apes on their island.
Go to Futuroscope!
Futuroscope is a French amusement park, water park and holiday resort. The hi-tech attraction is quite literally, out of this world, with futuristic rides and pixel-powered attractions. It's a 2 hour drive away so might be an idea to visit on your way to us.
