About the host

Hosted by Eric & Julieanne

Dear Guest
We welcome you to our home, le Logis de Lussais, built in 1832! We are Canadian-born (Quebecois!) but have lived in the UK for 30 years, working for a large accommodation provider. This area is easily accessible from the UK and many European destinations with useful all-year transport links (our sons return regularly!). We are near many popular tourist destinations to enjoy.
This area has much to discover and appreciate. It is also the second sunniest region of France!
We moved to the charming Logis de Lussais in January 2016. Sadly, the property had been abandoned for over two years and desperately needed tender loving care. Julieanne and I have nearly single-handedly updated, improved and brought the Logis de Lussais back to life with lots of hard work and love.
We hope our tranquil and charming home will delight you as much as it did and still does us every day.

Why they chose this property

Throughout our working lives, we spent our precious family holidays (we have two sons) in the Poitou–Charente region, staying in Gîtes. The kids loved it! We moved permanently to this region four years ago. It was a dream come true, not only because of our fond memories but also because of its history and peaceful scenery.

What makes this property unique

It is set in the sunny Poitou Charente region of southwest France, between the Loire and Dordogne. This region is known as the sunniest in France, just after Provence.
Our property and home is a traditional Logis Charentais set in the beautiful countryside surrounded by the Boutonne valley. We are located in the peaceful village of Lussais, close to local amenities in the charming market town of Chef Boutonne and within easy reach of the beaches along the Atlantic coast.
Gîte complex of 4 Gîtes offers two large secure swimming pools, games areas and 2 acres of garden to enjoy and relax in. It is ideal for families or friends who want to appreciate all the delights of Southern France!

The impressive Chateau Javarzay in Chef Boutonne has a fishing lake and picnic area within walking distance. There is a Saturday Market, various shops, restaurants and bars, two supermarkets and all the general amenities you might need, all 1.5 km from your front door. An abundance of wildlife for the keen enthusiast is on your doorstep or going further afield; within one hour’s drive, there are many things to do and see. Nearby activities include Cognac tasting at the distillery, sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast, fascinating architecture and sightseeing opportunities, Zoo and Futuroscope theme park, cycling and kayaking, to name but a few.
Logis de Lussais boasts comfortable, child-friendly, and wheelchair-accessible facilities within a beautiful complex that offers something for everyone to enjoy!
It is an ideal place to relax in tranquil surroundings. Now open all year round.
