PAPILLON Gite at our Family Friendly property
near St Jean d'Angely
Papillon sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms. It was originally
used for keeping animals (probably pigs - hence
the name 'butterfly' ! it sounds nicer !) It has now
been totally converted into a
lovely cottage with
terrace front and rear with charcoal barbecue.
Downstairs is
open plan with living and dining
areas and for those who enjoy cooking up
local
french dishes
such as moules in cream sauce - it
has a very
spacious kitchen area with loads of
work space and cupboards for storing all those
goodies purchased at the market. The
low dark
ceilings
with ancient exposed central oak beam  
and the
exposed stone walls, create a lovely dark,
cool escape from the heat of the summer.
The kitchen  is equipped with 4 ring gas hob, work top electric oven /grill, sink,
refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher and all the basic pots, pans, crockery and cutlery.
On the first floor is a good sized double bedroom with large wardrobe, draw unit and vanity basin; a twin
room with wardrobe and a small childrens room with
bunk beds and set of draws as well as hooks for
hanging.  The bathroom has a bath with shower facility, toilet and basin and as with all our cottages -
loads of
hot water
and good pressure for the shower. The straight wooden staircase is open tread and is steeper than
what you may be used to at home.
There is a spacious patio area front and rear with a bbq at the back and garden furniture at the front.
