Notes

Come and spend some time in our lovely bed and breakfast near the small village of La Brûlatte. You will be assured of a warm welcome to our comfortable and spacious rooms at La Croix, excellently placed for touring this beautiful region. The house is about 15 minutes from Laval and very easy to find, close to a motorway and on a national route (no winding gravel roads for you to negotiate at the end of a long journey), then straight out en route the next day, to explore all that the Loire, Normandy and Brittany can offer. Paris is two hours from here, Le Mans an hour, Rennes 40 minutes.Breakfast is in our kitchen diner, furnished with Breton style country furniture. Evening meals can be taken either here or in the traditional dining room, or on the pool terrace.
We have two double rooms, one triple room (1 double bed and 1 single bed) and two family rooms with more beds and cots if required. Each room has been freshly decorated with co-ordinating bed linen, bedside tables and lamps. Three of the rooms have their own bathroom, whilst the triple room and one family room share the main bathroom (bath, shower cubicle and three washbasins) and a separate toilet. These rooms are usually let to a party travelling together.
There is good fishing at the large lake in Port-Brillet (3 miles) and a Grand Randonnée (national rambling route) through La Brûlatte to La Gravelle. The forests in between the villages are populated with deer, wild boar, rabbits and foxes. The lanes abound with many wild flowers; violets, primroses, buttercups, hawksbill geraniums, harebells.

The Loire Valley is rich in châteaux and cathedrals. Every village has a beautiful church (especially at Le Pertre). Laval and Rennes are great cities for shopping. Le Mans is famous for its motor sports (at least one event per month throughout the year). Fougères and Ernée both have lovely medieval centres. Something for everyone!

The Normandy Landing beaches, Mont St Michel, the rugged pink granite coast of northern Brittany or Vannes on the south coast are within reasonable driving distance using either country lanes, national roads or the fast motorways. What about a day or two in the fast lane of Le Mans or shopping in Paris? The train station is only 3 miles away in Port-Brillet.

Le Clos De Ligre is an elegant residence dating from 1852 in a quiet village 6 km south of Chinon, with large sunny gardens, swimming pool, courtyard and private parking.This former gentleman farmer's house is now a comfortable Guest House, full of character, originality and happy surprises. The five attractive, comfortable bedrooms, each with its own individual style, have been renovated with elegant simplicity blending traditional charm and contemporary chic: terracotta-sponged walls, creamy beams and colourful modern fabrics with original tiled floors and stone fireplaces. Traditional French family dinners with local wines are served in the family dining room next to the open fireplace in winter, and in the garden in the shade of the old lime tree in summer.
The quiet, peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect refuge for world-weary travellers. It is an ideal base from which to visit the Abbey of Fontevraud (where the Plantagenets are buried), the chateaux of Chinon, Azay le Rideau, Villandry, Saumur and Langeais, and the vineyards of Chinon and Saumur. After many years living in Paris and travelling around the world, Martine moved to the country to combine her love of the area and her love of entertaining. Artistic and anglophile, she takes great care of her guests, ensuring that they have a relaxed and unforgettable stay in Ligre.

Venerable stones in the remote thyme-wafted air of a hillside village: an apparently modest old house unfolds into a place of grandeur with a vast flourish of a dining hall, a tower, a pigeon loft and well-travelled, fascinating hosts who are a fine mix of shyness, extroversion and humour. The courtyard is wisteria-clad, the garden sheltered, the food superb. Two rooms on the 17th-century lower level charm with their simple ancientness, the canopy bed lies in splendour below serried beams; they overflow with character if not with hanging space. There are two lovely terraces.

Notes

This ancient restored farmhouse is situated in the peaceful and beautiful village of Blévy on the banks of the Blaise River. The front of the house looks out onto a pretty flower garden, which is both private and enclosed - a sunny spot that is perfect for an aperitif on a summers evening. Hidden away at the rear is a flourishing and most productive kitchen garden. Secure parking is available.

The house is an ideal place to stop over while driving from the channel ports to the south of France, or just to relax in the calm and quiet of the French countryside. There are many interesting places to visit in the region : Chartres with its old town and quite magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral, Giverny with the famous house and garden of Claude Monet, the château of Maintenon and Anet as well as the Royal Chapel of Dreux. Paris is just about 1 hour away by road or SNCF.

In the village of Blévy itself the church dates from the 16th century. This fine building and the nearby ancient river washing places are classified historic monuments of France.

I choose to offer bed and breakfast because I love meeting people. I hope you will enjoy the calm and the beauty of my place. I speak German, French and English fluently.
