The name of Orleans is inseparably linked with that of Joan of Arc and there is evidence of her everywhere: in satues, her life history depicted in the cathedral's stained glass windows, the house where she stayed in 1429. The city, on the beautiful and wild River Loire, is also the centre of its own wine producing area and the town has more than enough to keep a visitor happy, in particular the old part, which has many fine buildings. Some of the greatest chateaux of the Loire are within reasonable driving distance and the cottage is ideally placed for a day in Paris or Versailles. Fontainebleau on the outskirts of Paris is only 85 kms. Chartres magnificent cathedral is 70 kms.

Other Activities: Many historic places to visit : the great Loire chateaux, etc

Golf: 8 golf courses in the area.

Delightful Family Stay

4 of 5
Submitted: January 17, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
Our Australian family of 2 adults and 3 children aged 12-15 enjoyed two wonderful weeks at "Le Pot Vert" late November/early December 2012. It is a unique property brimming with character, comfort and space.
St Jean-de-Braye is an ideal vantage point for visiting the chateaux and countryside of the Loire. Its new tramline also provides easy, comfortable and very affordable transport into the pretty city of Orleans, inextricably linked to Joan of Arc.
The benefits of staying at "Le Pot Vert" were numerous. Communication before and during arrival was easy and friendly, secure undercover parking was provided, room was spacious for a family, beds were comfortable, the area felt safe, decor and furnishings were tasteful and homely, outdoor spaces were pretty and vast. The pantry was generously stocked with many tasty treats, though the first night's meal that was provided was a simple prepackaged frozen selection comprising pizza, fries and croquettes.
During our stay, we visited the Chateaux of Chambord, Chenonceau and Chamerolles. We also enjoyed tram rides into Orleans ( just over 8 euros for 10 return trips for our family), two visits to Disneyland Paris, a visit to the Palace of Versailles and a longer drive to the war memorials in Thiepval and Sommes. Coming home to "Le Pot Vert" was always a treat and we greatly appreciated the ability to make free international landline calls to friends in Australia.
We thank Frederique and Remi for their warm hospitality and have no hesitation in recommending this lovely character property to those who want comfort and a home away from home on their next vacation.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your nice review , we are happy that you enjoyed the cottage and that you will have good memories about your stay in Le Pot Vert during your long family trip in Europ .Happy new year !Frederique .

Christmas at Le Port Vert

5 of 5
Submitted: January 16, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This was our first year ever out of the country with our two teenage daughters for Christmas. Spending Christmas in Le Port Vert was wonderful and felt like home. Frederique had decorated the cottage beautifully with a Christmas tree, candle lights in every window and a the fireplace ready to light! The fridge was full, bread and cheeses, wine and the pantry had all the little extras we needed. We felt so at home that we ate most dinners at the cottage, the kitchen is cozy and has all equipment needed to cook wonderful meals. The cottage is warm, we had the fire going most nights for the ambiance rather then for warmth.

There are plenty of places to buy groceries, and baked goods close by, although we would recommend a car (with a GPS). Most days we explored the chateaus near by. Orleans is close by car and a very lovely city to shop and go out for dinner.
The property is beautiful even in the winter and the countryside is pretty for long country walks.
We loved our stay have already recommended the cottage to lots of friends and hope to come back soon!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much Jenny for your nice review.I'm happy that your appreciated all our attentions .As you wrote, Le Pot Vert is a real home away home , and is nice to live in at any season, that's why we have Guests all year long .( we'll welcome soon Actors from the famous " Comédie Française " playing Marivaux , here in Orleans ) Xmas was a busy time for us with all the family , and we are so sorry to even didn't have any time to have you at home for "an apéritif " or a dinner !
But you were very busy too ...Really hoping to welcome you again in the future !
All the best for you and your lovely family.

Wonderful stay in France

4 of 5
Submitted: October 18, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Having lived in France years ago and since visited there many times, my dream was to return and rent a quaint cottage in a small village where we could walk to shops, eat in the garden, and fix meals in a tidy kitchen--all of this and more was realized during our stay at Le Pot Vert. The owners, Frederique and Remy were very charming and hospitable, and when we arrived to find a fully stocked pantry and refrigerator, wines, cheeses, and even baguettes and pastries, we were more than delighted! We were blessed with wonderful weather so we could take advantage of walks and bike rides near the Loire, a hot-air balloon ride, visits to several chateaux and wine tastings, and walks to the local Sunday market. We also appreciated Frederique's recommendations for local restaurants which were fun and charming.
I do think a month was a long time to be in one place once the weather started turning a bit chilly and rainy, but over all it was a wonderful experience.
The description of the cottage is accurate (except the furniture in the living room is now different than the photo, but not a big deal). The owners supplied bikes, a garage for our rental car, and free Wi-Fi and international calling which was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family.
Owner's Response: Thank you Donna, for your nice review , I'm glad that you appreciated all our "attentions " , we have very often Guests staying even more than a month,( 3 months , 10 months etc...) and some of them come every year , so ...each guests are different !
The only change in the living room are the sofas , which are not coton ones anymore ( because of wet swimming suits ...) but in leather , I will change the picture when I'll be back home . We are by now in Florida dor 10 days off, we love America !

le Pot Vert in St. Jean-de-Braye

4 of 5
Submitted: August 12, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My husband, I and our children (young adults) spent a week at "Le Pot Vert". We chose this property because of the garden and pool. Unfortunately, the weather was not good; we were able to take our meals out in the lovely garden only two or three times and use the pool only once. The property and house are lovely. The house is clean and cozy. We appreciated the kitchen most. The cupboard was filled with all the basic ingredients and more; the pots are good quality and there are dishes, glasses, cups and silverware for a family of twelve! We have rented summer homes a number of times. The hosts at this property are nicer and more generous than any others we have had the chance to meet. We arrived late on a Saturday and found enough fresh food to tide us over until the next day at noon! The pizza with goat cheese was delicious and the rilletes de poulet was a tasty discovery. And the apricots and peaches - also provided by the owners - were fabulous! Mme Archambault let us know upon arrival which bakery in town is best. The living area is stocked with information about food shops, places to see....almost anything you could think of. Since we could not spend much time at the property due to the weather (we escaped to the chateaux on most days), we didn't have a chance to really get to know our hosts. That is the only thing about our stay we really regret.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your nice comments on Le Pot Vert , we are really doing our best for our Guests but unfortunately, we can't do anything about the weather !The week after you was sunny and hot ...Fortunately, there are so much to do in our area ,that rainy days can be bery busy, that's why we have Guests all year long .Hoping to welcome you again in Le Pot Vert and have the opportunity to know you more .Our best thoughts, Remi and Frederique .

Our French experience at Le Pot Vert

5 of 5
Submitted: March 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
My dream - to live as the French do, for a few months at least - came true.
Le Pot Vert provided my partner Ron, and close friends Mary and Jean-Marc and many "in transit" friends from Australia, the perfect haven to come home to after full days of sightseeing, walking, bike riding in the Orleans Forest (bikes provided) enjoying the culinary delights, or doing something as simple as sitting on the banks of the Loire River, soaking up its serenity.
We wanted to be close to Paris, we were - an hour on the train from Orleans.
We wanted to visit many Chateaux, we did - two of the larger ones which are a must see are Chenonceau and Chambord.
One of our favourite smaller ones is Sully Sur Loire and another must see - is Chateau Royal D'Amboise in the beautiful town of Amboise.
Villandry Chateau was built during the Renaissane period and its gardens take your breath away.
We had many day trips by car into the wine regions, the Burgundy region - stunning!
We took a four hour train trip to Bordeaux - an amazing weekend - an easy city to see on foot with wonderful restaurants and shops.
A day trip by car to Versailles and many day trips by train to Paris!
The city of Orleans also had so much to offer, we had many visits on the bus to the daily markets for our fresh produce, attended concerts at the Cathedral and I am sure by now the tramline will be completed from St Jean de Braye.
We did much more over the course of the three months at Le Pot Vert (which we found listed in the Eye Witness Travel Book) and you will find that Frederique and Remi (the proprietors) have provided guests with extensive literature on everything local and beyond.
Every attention to details has been given by Frederique in making the cottage comfortable and her warmth and hospitality shone through.
In Australia our architecture is new and modern, for us living in this 270 year old cottage full of its own history was amazing.
But back to the beginning - one has to make time to sit and absorb the beauty of the grounds surrounding Le Pot Vert lovingly cared for by Remi - enjoy the long lunches and evening meals in the garden and pool area - take time to savour the french way of life - it is truly special and at home in Australia, I think about it every day.
Owner's Response: Thank you SO MUCH Marlene , for your lovely review , we had loved to have you with Ron, Mary and your Australians friends visiting, in Le Pot Vert .
We miss you, and we hope you'll come back some day , Spring is beautiful in the garden !
Frederique .
