We discovered how to slow down and enjoy a richer life at a slower pace, here in the Loire Valley of France. We now invite you to discover this experience too.
The house is located in the rural central region of France in the Departement Loire-et-Cher, in the "vieux quartier" of a small town named Selles-sur-Cher. Selles is in the triangle between Blois, Tours and Bourges, 14km from Valencay (the world-famous Château of Talleyrand) and just 20km from Romoranthin-Lanthenay and a world-famous restaurant called Lion d'Or"!
HOUSE FOR RENT IN LOIRE VALLEY
Our rental house is 150 years old and has only just been completely renovated. It has a wonderfully romantic patio to the rear of the house where you can sit out beside the historic "Canal du Berry" that was constructed during the Napoleonic era.
The house has full central heating and ceiling fans, and also has an open fire for cosy winter evenings.
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including an oven, microwave, dishwasher, extractor hood, fridge and a washing machine and tumble dryer. A charcoal barbecue is also available for meals al fresco on the patio, with its wooden table and chairs for 8.
Internet access facilities and fax machine
If it is necessary to keep in touch with friends, or perhaps even the office too while on holiday - especially if you are taking an extended break - then the internet access for picking up emails, fax machine and an answering machine may all come in very handy.
Our 2 'dutch' bicycles and 2 touring bicycles provide a (slow) escape from the technology if it all gets too much! What better way than a bicycle to gently explore the glorious French countryside. It is no surprise that the Loire Valley is a magnet for illustrators and painters who regular visit or make this their home.
RENTAL ACCOMMODATION
The house has 2 double bedrooms upstairs and 2 bathrooms, together with a day bed in the living room, sleeping 6 guests in total.
LOCATION
This is a place to unwind and slow down but... paradoxically so much to see and do!
Walking, Biking, Golf, Tennis, Swimming, Boating, Fishing, Hunting, Horseback Riding, Shopping, Restaurants, Visiting vineyards, Live Theatre, Concerts, Museums, Galleries, Sightseeing at Ancient Historical and Religious Sites...
Most of the world-famous Loire-Castles and Chateaux can be reach within 30 - 60 minutes.
Music, Art or Garden Festivals take place in most towns throughout the whole year, so you are sure to experience one if you wish, during your stay.
Places worth visiting include: Blois, Orleans, Amboise, Tours, Bourges or just follow the rivers Loire and Cher by bicycle.
How to get here
Paris CDG (Charles-de-Gaulle) 250 km, Orleans, 120 km, Tours 70 km journey times.
We recommend that you have a car, because the public transportation system is rather restricted. Although to nip into Selles, we recommend that you use our old-fashioned looking but new and original "Gazelle" bicycles from the Netherlands. Very stylish!
