Access will be by a small path with steps. Please note that wheeled suitcases will not be effective and access is not possible for people with reduced mobility. In winter, in addition to the electric heater, you can make a little flare-up for a romantic moment. We provide a welcome basket, but we can also prepare a large additional basket for €25, afterwards. If you prefer, you can also bring your wood, as long as it is small, thin glasses of 30 cm maximum. We are in town, close to an urban road and therefore not in the countryside, without any noise outside. In the cottage, calm and a change of scenery is assured! You may be surprised by the time spent doing nothing while admiring the fauna, duck, water chickens, swans, frogs but also the flora that you will only see by the water. Waterfront! A beautiful place to enjoy nature, but also go to Comet or Zenith a few meters away and you walk through the historic streets of Orleans, or visit the castles of the Loire (Chambord, Blois, Amboise, ...)

Please note that to get down to the cottage, you will have to take a small wooded path. We want to clarify that the place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility or disabilities unfortunately. Do not provide large suitcases as your casters will be useless. Other things to note We are gradually renovating the cottage and the garden so that you like this place and we try to keep the soul and the atypical spirit of this historic place dating back to the 19th century. Highlights: The private garden, its terrace and its barbecue Direct access to the river 1 kayak 2 people 1 boat 1 wood-burning stove A welcome basket is provided upon arrival. The kayak is unsinkable, these kayaks have drain holes on their floors, which makes it possible to make them self vacuum. So it's normal to have water at the bottom of the hull. We added earplugs because some people were complaining. Please do not keep them. In winter, canoeing or boating is not recommended if you are not equipped. Indeed the water is very cold in the winter and depending on the season, it can be difficult to practice this activity. In summer the water is very low and it becomes difficult, if not impossible. Check-in is from 4 p.m. A lockbox is available for free and independent check-in. Check-out is no later than 11 a.m., you just have to put the keys back in the key box, the instructions in the mailbox, below and put your trash in the green container, near the garage.
