Chez Marguerite is an idyllic former farm set in the tranquil Creuse region of Central France, just 2 ½ hours south of Paris on the Indre/Creuse border. This walking and cycling paradise is close to the Creuse River and beautiful woodlands where nature is pretty much undisturbed. We are situated near a quaint town within a short drive (or bike ride!) of local shops and pubs, yet with several acres of our own private gardens, peaceful meadows, and a beautiful private pond. There are several boulangeries, pubs, and a Friday morning open-air market with a wide selection of meats, cheeses, and vegetables just 2 kilometers up the road in Aigurande. Don’t miss out on the character of Chez Marguerite, a 300-year old farmhouse that was meticulously preserved during a recent renovation. The home’s features include exposed beams, stone and oak floors, and wood-burning stoves. It is simply a delight, offering spacious and comfortable accommodations in a charming rustic setting with all the modern conveniences. Upon entering, the original Farmhouse doors open up into a two-story foyer with a minstrel gallery. Upstairs you can rest easy in one of the three comfortable bedrooms with queen, full or twin size beds and bathroom en suite. There are also two pullout queen size sofa beds making it easy to accommodate up to 10 people. On the main floor, you’ll love cooking in the big country kitchen with an original farmhouse dining table. The kitchen features an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, toaster, crock-pot and a variety of pots, pans and glassware. The great room, with its original beams and cozy wood stove, is open from the kitchen with a satellite television and DVD player. Gather your friends and family for a game of cards in the game room with another wood stove, game table, and stereo. It almost goes without saying that everything you’ll need for cooking, eating, drinking, and cleaning is provided, including linens and a separate laundry room with washer/dryer. During the spring and summer months, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset and that bottle of wine from a local vineyard in the alfresco dining area. With its tranquil farm setting, you can relax here after a long day of sightseeing, shopping, or wine tasting and linger to watch the stars come out. Feel free to pack the picnic basket and take the two bicycles for a ride down to your private fishing pond or nearby village (fishing poles are available). Connect with friends and family back home using the free wireless internet service. You can also play golf or tennis nearby and visit the majestic chateaux of the Loire Valley.
