We have been hosts since 2018, and enjoy sharing our little spot of France with guests. We have restored the cottage to offer luxurious and private guest accommodation. We are proud to have the only 5* gite for couples in the region, showing the quality our guests can expect. . Whilst La Charnière is part of our home, it is completely self-contained and separate.
