Welcome in Berry, for rural and heritage hollidays
In the center of the France :
Our home is situated at 1 km of Vallenay - a town with 700 inhabitants in the Berry. It's a country of the centre of the France.
The House was built at the beginning of the century and it is quite typical. It is in the country and the garden, with plenty of trees can be a wonderful playground for children. The property is lovely and particularly pleasant in Summer.
The fields are around our home and here are a lot of walks and a river (le Cher) cross our village
In summer the children like swimming when the weather is fair ! You could discover the Berry and you will have the opportunity to visit the most prestigious castles of the Loire (Chambord, Chenonceaux, Amboise, Valencay, Villandry, …). In addition to that, there are many more things to discover close to our house (Abbeys, Churches, Castles, Forests, Vineyards, Walking places, …).
Finally Paris is only 2 hours from Bourges by train.

Notre maison se situe à 1 km de Vallenay - Ville de 700 habitants- dans le centre de la France. On trouve tous les commerces de proximité.
La maison a été construite au début du XXème dans un style architectural des Folies du XIXèmesiècle. Le jardin (2 ha) est essentiellement constitué d'arbres et offre un espace de jeu intéressant pour les enfants (cabanes, foot, basket, ...). La propriété est très joli et très agréable au printemps comme en été.
La Campagne entoure notre maisons et offre de nombreuses possibilités de promenades. La rivière : le Cher traverse notre village. En été les enfants aiment se baigner quand il fait beau !
Vous pourrez aussi découvrir le Berry et visiter les prestigieux châteaux de la Loire (Chenonceaux, Amboise, Valencay, Villandry, …). Il y a aussi de nombreux sites intéressants : abbayes, églises, vignobles, forêts,…Enfin Paris se situe à seulement 2h00 de train de Saint Florent.
