Loiret Vacation RentalCharming old townhouse in beautiful medieval village

Shopping: All basic shopping can be done with the local village merchants, including boulangerie(baker), charcuterie(deli-meats), patisserie(pastry shop), boucherie(bucher), etc., and the local Friday market, which should not be missed for fresh produce, cheeses, fish, and other specialties. Ferrieres is home to a group of ceramic artist who have their work-shop and store in the village center. The nearest city, Montargis (population approx. 30,000), is 15 minutes drive from the village. It is known as the 'Venice of the Gatinais' because of its numerous bridges and canals through out the city. There you can find car rental locations, the train station, and any and all stores, services, and products that you would find in any large town.

Further Out: Ferrieres is a great centrally located village of about 3,000 inhabitants. You truly get the great feel of a charming old village, surrounded by very beautiful countryside, but also within easy driving distance to major city centres and interesting visiting destinations in every direction.

Burgundy and the legendary Cote d'Or is about an hour further. Less than 1 hour south is the famous 'Pont Canal' or canal bridge spanning the Loire, built by Mr. Eifel himself. The great city of Fountainbleau and it's art community (Barbizon was located here) and it's stunning royal chateau is about 25 minutes north. Champagne country is about 21/2 hours north-east.

Guest Book: Steve Taylor(Australia): 'Ferrieres is a very special place where the real French culture is unspoiled by the regular flow of tourists. Mr Andre, the guardian, is a French treasure in himself. The house itself is a well-appointed and cosy house where up to six people can live in comfort. We rate the house as very good and would stay again, but for longer next time'. Lynette Forester (New Zealand): 'Our family had great pleasure in renting the house for 2 months in order to experience real French village life. We were not disappointed. The experience was overwhelmingly positive.The French people were very friendly, there was lots to do and see, and we also enjoyed day trips to Paris.' Gerald Spawton (Scotland): 'Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time and really loved your house. Everyone in Ferrieres that we met made us feel most welcome from the shop workers to people in the street. My children have reaffirmed several times that this was the best holiday they ever had.'
