Les Petites Pierres


Les Petites Pierres: Charming 18th Century Gîte with Authentic French Character

Step inside Les Petites Pierres ("the little stones"), a lovingly restored 18th-century cottage where historic charm and modern comforts go hand in hand. With its original oak beams and warm décor, this gîte exudes the ultimate 'Joie de Vivre' feeling.

Cozy and comfortable enjoyment

The cozy living room is the perfect place to relax. Near the solid oak fireplace is an electric fireplace that provides the coziness of a crackling wood fire on cooler evenings in the early or late season.

The kitchen is the heart of the cottage and is fully equipped for extensive cooking with local local products. You will find a gas stove, microwave, fridge-freezer and a dishwasher. From a quick coffee to an extensive dinner: everything is ready for you.

Bedrooms with Forest View

On the upper floor there are two characterful bedrooms under the rustic beams:

Bedroom 1: A spacious double bed.

Bedroom 2: Twin beds, with the possibility of adding an extra bed for a young child.

Both rooms offer a relaxing view of the surrounding forests – the ideal place to wake up to the chirping of the birds. The bathroom is located on the ground floor and is fully equipped.

Outdoor living: sun, shade and discovery

Outside, you have a choice of two private areas: a sunny terrace directly at the front for a quiet breakfast, and an attractive BBQ garden across the path (the chemin) for long summer dinners.

Activities on the domain:

Sun and water: Relax by the large, secure swimming pool (10m x 5m) with spacious sun terrace and children's pool.

Games and fun: From pétanque and croquet at the vegetable garden to football, table tennis and badminton on the large playing field.

Nature and animals: Admire our Garden of Eden, look for red squirrels and numerous birds and lizards.

Carefree on Holiday

We think it is important that families with young children can enjoy themselves to the fullest. That's why things like cots, chairs, baby baths and cutlery for the little ones are standard.

Extras:

A basket full of picking happiness: Upon arrival, a basket will be ready with your own or regional products.

Breakfast service: In July and August, the bakery delivers fresh baguettes and croissants to your door daily.

Local discoveries: Our guides are ready for you with more than 140 tips for day trips, from local markets (taste the Charentais melon and goat cheese!) to the most beautiful walking and cycling routes. 

Les Petites Pierres is more than a stay; It is a place where memories are made. When can we welcome you?

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

An hour and a fifteen minute drive away are the beautiful beaches and the picturesque La Rochelle, where there are museums, shops and restaurants. The Ile de Re has a 90 km bike path, and you can even encounter donkeys. We are here on a short drive from the two top theme parks, the Futuroscope in Poitiers, with all sorts of interactive attractions and rides, and the Puy du Fou, with spectacular outdoor shows and replica villages. The Marais Poitevin is a fascinating area with meadows and marshes - rent a boat there and sail for a day on the meandering streams. There are also walking and cycling paths. Locally there are several water parks, with swimming lakes, beaches, water slides and other water activities. Pescalis, a fishing lake, is only 10 minutes drive away - you can fish for carp up to 25 kg. 10 minutes away is the 'Adventure Forest' and a go-kart track (very popular with our visitors). North of l'Absie is the Rocher Branlant - the rock that moves a little when pushed. Parthenay, Niort and Poitiers are bustling cities with a medieval past. The village of Vouvant is great for hiking and the nearby Mervent has a small zoo. There is a Chateau at Coulonges sur l'Autize, and the Chateau and Jardin Medieval de la Guyonniere is located at Parthenay. A nice day trip can be made to the Chateau in Saumur and the Loire valley. Very close by is a number of excellent hiking and biking tours, for which we have detailed maps. We also advise on local festivals, markets, 'vide greniers' and special events. The iconic Tour de France 2018 starts just over the border in Vendee on 7 July. For the first 3 days, many events are only 19 - 50 minutes away! A real French experience for the door! After 3 exciting days in the Tour de France, you can enjoy the rest of your holiday in our area, where there are many cycle routes, a visit to the many tourist attractions, or just relax by the pool. We offer 8 nights, from Friday 6 July to Saturday the 14th to 7% discount! Contact us for more information. Free Wi-Fi is available on site for all gîtes and each gîte has a good selection of books and games. All kitchens are well equipped and we have cots, cot mattresses, children's plates and cutlery, high chairs, a baby bath, a changing mat and a pot for families with young children. There is an extensive range of information in each Gite from tourist attractions, local restaurants, to shops and walks. We have created two comprehensive map guides with details of more than 40 things to do / see within a 25-minute radius of Les Glycines and more than 100 things to do for a day out a little further. Detailed hiking maps and Michelin guides are also available. A welcome pack is included in every cottage on arrival - it includes some milk, cheese, bread, wine, barbecue charcoal and some of our own delicious eggs. We supply bed linen, small towels and kitchen towels, but ask you to bring your own bath towels and bed linen. There are two private sitting / dining areas for each of the 3 gîtes, a sunny and a shady, equipped with tables, chairs, umbrellas and a barbecue. During the months of July and August there is a daily delivery service of delicious traditional freshly baked baguettes, Croissants, Pain au Chocolat. The gîtes are located on a quiet little road that is rarely used, except the daily La Poste. The owners live on the premises in the main house and are available to offer help, give tips, book meals and make your stay as pleasant and carefree as possible.
