    The countryside around here is mostly gentle slopes with a few hills, country lanes and villages make interesting walks.

    We are in a very rural area there is no public transport so unless you have your own transport we invite helpers to join us if we go into town.

    Our nearest town is St Maixent L'Ecole it is a historic garrison town worth an afternoon wandering around its old streets. It also houses a military museum within the national NCO college.

    We provide full contact details prior to arrival.

    Our nearest train station is St Maixent L'Ecole, Deux-Sevres, we collect from there.
