Description

Piquemouche is an old name for tits and a locality in the beautiful wooded, rolling countryside of southern Touraine. Our little hamlet comprises 4 buildings: our house, the gîte, our business space and a pretty barn. Its location on the shoulder of a hill at the end of a road offers 360° views and peace and quiet. In addition to our aromatic and medicinal plant activity, we maintain the site to encourage maximum biodiversity (ponds, hedges, nest boxes, coppices, etc.).
