RUCHE and HORLOGE Gites
From the lane, Ruche and Horloge are second
and third in the row - fairly
central and directly
opposite the sandpit and garden - so you can
sit back and
drink a glass or two of the locally
produced Pineau whilst your
children play in
the garden within view of your terrace.  

They each
sleep 6 in 3 bedrooms and are mirror
images of each other. They were originally one
large barn with huge wooden doors, for the
storage of hay in the 18th century and more
recently, farm equipment. We split the barn in
to two - each approximately 6m by 6m. Each
has a
spacious open plan ground floor with
living and dining areas and a kitchenette.

The kitchen is equipped with 4 ring gas hob,
mini work top electric oven/grill, fridge freezer
and extra drinks fridge and microwave.

The open tread, cast iron, spiral staircases lead to the first floor which have 2 twin rooms and a double. The
double bedrooms in these 2 cottages are smaller than those in papillon or grenier, as are the kitchen areas, but this
means more
spacious living areas and more spacious 3rd bedrooms.
They both have
terrace areas to the front and rear with charcoal barbecues. Two families together may like to let
these two as there is a space between the two which may be used to
put tables together and eat as one large
group. The bathroom has a bath with shower facility, basin and toilet and
plenty of hot water and good pressure.
Old beehives and an old grandfather clock case were found in the old barn, hence the names Ruche and Horloge.
