About this property
LE GARGANTUA with heated swimming pool for gatherings with family and friends.
In the Pays de Rabelais, Space, Relaxation and Conviviality are at the rendezvous in Gargantua, large house of 400 m2 in local stone, the Tuffeau.
Pieter will offer you free to start the Bread Oven for an evening "Fouées" with bread dough offered (local specialty), pizzas that will fill young and old. It will be enough for you to bring something to garnish them! Also, free activities are offered to children like the workshop Cerf Volant, photography of the microscopic world.
The Gargantua, classified 3 Epis Gîtes de France, restored in 2016, offering an independent access, this cottage is located in a set of beautifully restored old buildings, two other gites (capacity 5 and 7 people) and the Château des Coudreaux (residence of owners), which add to the charm of the places.
All facilities available on site are for a successful stay, such as the swimming pool (7m * 4m), the playground with table tennis, volleyball / badminton, petanque and indoor billiards, babyfoot. WIFI / internet access.
Of course, the animal park is accessible where the Alpacas will join with pleasure to your group for a walk on the hiking trails that pass in front of the house. The children will marvel at the aviary where crowned cranes, pheasants, geese and ornamental ducks will greet them.
On reservation, a tasting is organized by a professional, to discover the wines of the Loire, directly to Gargantua.
