Description of object
Delightful 19th Century Loire Valley gite (house) to rent in the village of Barrou in the department of Indre-et -Loire, France. The village’s location halfway between the cities of Tours and Poitiers makes it an ideal base to explore the Loire Valley, its many chateaux and pretty villages as well as the department of Vienne where you can visit the theme park of Futuroscope. The nearest chateaux at Le Guerche and Le Grand Pressigny are only minutes away. You can have a true French experience as it is relatively \\\'tourist free\\\' but still take advantage of all this beautiful area has to offer, everything from picturesque villages, citadel towns ( many with their own chateau), sandy beaches by beautiful lakes, safari parks and troglodytes.
