Un Gîte au Pré

We've lovingly restored these 2 comfortable, warm and healthy gîtes in keeping with the old building style (hemp-lime rendering, exposed stonework...). We look forward to welcoming you to these characterful, self-contained gîtes: Gîte "la Cabrette" (2-4 pers) and Gîte "la Gâtinelle" (5-7 pers). For over 30 years, we've been raising 250 goats and processing all their milk into organic cheeses.

Territory description

5 km from Parthenay (medieval city) between Niort and Poitiers, in the countryside, on our organic farm and close to prestigious destinations: Futuroscope, Marais Poitevin, Puy du Fou, La Rochelle, Vendée beaches.
