Comfortably sleeping 8 people in 4 bedrooms, Tournesol is bright, with plenty of character and a host of original features. It's well-equipped and simply decorated with exposed stone walls, crisp, white bed linen, large, fresh towels and high quality furnishings. The space Tournesol opens out onto a grassy, gated courtyard, featuring a large cherry tree in the centre. In front of the gite there is a wooden table and chairs for the guests staying in Tournesol to use for outside dining and there are also bbqs available. Across the garden there is a traditional French bread oven, laundry room with washing machines and large games barn with table tennis, table football, darts, boules, croquet, plus a range of bicycles which you are welcome to borrow to explore the local countryside.

The pool is gated and has a safety cover. Please note that the temperature of the pool is reliant on the surrounding air temperature and will therefore vary between about 21 and 27 degrees.
