Ambrault is in the Berry, the southern part of the Loire Valley, ideally situated for exploring the whole region. To the north are the grand chateaux of the Loire River, the historic town of Bourges, the fine wines of Sancerre. To the west you will find the Brenne Natural Regional Park with its lakes for fishing and picnics, and the Haute-Touche Nature Reserve where wild animals roam freely; to the east, the picturesque town of La Châtre; to the south the vast lake of Eguzon for water sports. A notable weekly market takes place at St Août (10 minutes’ drive) and you should visit the excellent restaurants such as the Restaurant de la Gare at Ardentes. Interesting walks and a tranquil riverside for fishing are on the doorstep.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Indre, France

Inside: I enjoyed furnishing the cottage, over-spending my budget in local shops and markets. Books, games, DVDs and music CDs are available. The wines of our region are not to be missed and a small selection is stored in the old bread oven that serves as a wine cellar. I am a keen cook and you will find balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard as standard, as well as an extensive range of herbs and spices. There are plenty of pots and pans in good working order (no loose handles) and generous-sized dishes holding enough for everyone.

Outside: The garden stretches out beyond the pool with nothing to block the stunning sunrises and sunsets we experience. You are welcome to pick the grapes, plums, cherries and apples. The entrance is secured with a lockable iron gate and there is room for up to 3 cars to park.

Lifestyle: If you want to experience life in the heart of France, stay at my cottage for a couple of weeks. There are few tourists other than some discerning French who want to keep the Berry a secret. Meet our friendly French neighbours and unwind in the peaceful countryside. The pool is there for your use in summer and the log fire in winter. You can enjoy a quiet day in the sun or explore the many interesting walks, chateaux, golf courses and much more - all within driving distance of the house.

Guest Book: “First class level of equipment …Property was more than we expected. The pool was excellent, as was the shaded area outside and the barbeque.” Alan and Caroline Pottage “Of the three houses that we rented Les Canardeaux was by far the best and most well appointed house … and also in a good area – easy striking distance to Loire Valley chateaux and Sancerre vineyards (and of course some excellent restaurants). We really enjoyed ourselves.” Martin and Christine Greenhill “We still have the warm fuzzies about our trip, and a good part of that can be attributed to your thoroughness and accommodation. We truly enjoyed your cottage. It was more than we anticipated.” Warren and Nora Strong
