House in SUEVRES, France
Our house is an ancient mill, on a nice and clear river, in a small village (1500 hab) : it is a very quiet place, surrounded by a large garden and wooded lands (2 ha), but close to the village (5 minutes walking from the post office, the grocery , etc).
the house (300 m2) has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 large living-rooms, and all the comfort; it has just been renovated, so everything is in perfect running order - and having kept old aspects.
We can also organize some non simultaneous exchanges, as we have a small house in one wing of our house, totally independant, and that suits for 2 or 3 persons (one bedroom at the floor, one bed in the living room at the groundfloor, a kitchen and a large bathroom)
Many natural and cultural attractions can be seen around (Chambord is at 15 minutes driving, not to speak of Amboise, Chenonceaux, and all the Loire Valley castles ; many sports can be practiced not far – canoe on Loire river, bicycle, golf, swimming pools) .
