The studio apartment (50 square metre/500 sq feet) is comprised of recently remodeled suite of rooms, with a private outdoor patio, in a 15th century of medieval building. The studio suite is located within the remnants of the ancient walls of the medieval town centre.

We have made every effort to maintain the antiquity of this charming studio during renovation. In the same complex we also have a one bedroom apartment for rent up one flight of stairs, please ask us for further information about our other three two bedrooms apartments. Modern bathroom, kitchen and living room make the unit an ideal place to relax while exploring the region. The apartment is rented on either a weekly basis or a three night minimum stay.

While staying with us you will be a short walk to several bakeries, butcher shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities all within the medieval town centre. In addition to wine tasting and sightseeing you can spend your days walking or cycling the many trails in the area the best of which run along the Canal Lateral à La Loire. There is also the opportunity to travel down the Loire by kayak or canoe.

La Charité-sur-Loire is an hour and 45 minutes south of Paris. The owners live a two minute walk from the unit and are always on hand to answer any of your questions or if you need help with your French. Please see our website for more information of activities in the area.

About Byron and Kelly Harker

Hello, we are Byron and Kelly Harker from Vancouver on the West Coast of Canada. We have had the opportunity to travel widely over the years, and have always enjoyed returning to France. In 2003 we decided to sell our home in Vancouver and move to France. We discovered the delightful town of La Charité-sur-Loire in Burgundy and immediately fell in love with the town and the area. In 2004 we opened the first of our vacation rentals and currently have five such rentals in the centre of this medieval town. We enjoy the many festivals in town and the area throughout the year. We are close enough to Paris to 'pop up' for the day. We enjoy sharing our love of the area with our guests from all over the world.

Byron and Kelly Harker purchased this apartment in 2003
What makes this apartment unique

La Charité-sur-Loire is south of the rain and north of the heat and as a result has very enjoyable weather. Our vacation rentals are in the centre of town and you are able to walk out your front door and enjoy the many bakeries, cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The Loire River is two blocks away and it has lovely beaches and walking paths along the riverbank. There is canoeing and kayaking on the river. We are close the wine areas of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire where you can meet the wine makers and enjoy tasting their wonderful wines. The castles of the Loire Valley are a two hour drive from us and make an enjoyable day trip. La Charité-sur-Loire is becoming an art, book and music cultural centre and as such there are many festivals throughout the year.

Bardin Suite

5 of 5
Submitted: October 18, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
A very warm and comfortable studio apartment. It was very clean and everything was in good working order. There is a nice sitting area in the main room and the kitchen is quite separate and has it's own table and chairs. Another plus is that this studio is on the main floor, as a result there are no stairs. There is also a nice private area to sit outside. You can walk to the shops in a few minutes and there is a nice bakery on the first corner of the main street. For two people an ideal spot to stay in this beautiful French village.The owners were very friendly and most helpful in regards to where to shop and where to eat. They also gave us many good ideas on what to see in this area of France. We also rented two bikes from the owners and found some great cycling on dedicated cycling pathways. I will recommend this place to all my friends and relatives.............

Great experience

Submitted: October 3, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We enjoyed our completely modern renovated suite while still experiencing the ambience of the 16th century. Kelly and Byron's attention to detail provided us with all the comforts of home. They also made an extra effort to make sure that we were well informed about the town, the area and French customs. We found their ability to speak English extremely helpful. They were available to answer any questions that came up. The suite was great value and we would have no hesitation in recommending it.

My husband and I stayed here for five days in April during our honeymoon. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Both the accommodation and the town itself. The Bardin Suite was perfect. Immaculately clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment. The Harkers are exemplary hosts. They were so welcoming. And the town was our favorite in all our travels. A great place to relax and enjoy the French country life. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Byron and Kelly for providing a spot that we will always cherish!
