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
All through our working life, we spent our precious family holidays (we have 2 sons) in the Poitou–Charente region staying in Gîtes. The kids loved it! We moved permanently to this region 4 years ago. It was a dream come true…not only because of our fond memories but also, its history and peaceful scenery.
What makes this property unique
Set in the sunny Poitou Charente region of South West France between the Loire and Dordogne. It is known as the sunniest area of France, just after the 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.
