Garden: The garden is stone walled all around, 150 ft long, and L-shaped – double width at the bottom, the parking facility. At the back of the house is a gravelled patio overlooked by a small banana grove, where the garden furniture can be set up for al fresco dining. There is a door leading from the patio into rue de la Liberte. In the corner there is an original well, on which wire mesh has been affixed for safety. Behind the well is the cottage (Bananiers 2), a gravelled vine pergola walkway bypassing the cottage and its immediate garden area (to afford a modicum of privacy for the guests staying there), and leading to the main garden, shared with the cottage guests. This consists of rough lawn, a small copse, the beginnings of another banana grove, and the parking area.
Location: The town centre, with shops, cafes and restaurants, is a 5 minute walk into town.
5 minutes in the opposite direction, going out of town, is the open air Leisure Centre, which features tennis, mini-golf, a swimming pool, camping, boules, manicured parks and canoeing. There is also the opportunity to walk along the River Creuse, which runs through the town.
