The cottage is accessed via the narrow tarmac road passing through the village. This road has very little traffic other than an occasional village car, farm vehicles or travelling baker. No shops are located in the village but are easily accessed in the local town of Clion or Chatillon sur Indre. Ample parking for cars is available next to the cottage.

The large enclosed gated garden with dedicated parking, abundance of flowers and two magnificent plane trees / lawn is for the private use of the gite. Outside the main cottage doors you walk directly onto a paved terrace which is ideal in the morning to sit and enjoy breakfast or in the evening for aperitifs or dining 'al-fresco'. Two grand 'Plane' trees are in the garden and provide wonderful shade to sit under during the day or somewhere to relax with family or friends. Surrounded by an abundance of flowers you can also enjoy the recliners and small wood terrace which is positioned to catch the evening sun. External dining table and chairs are also provided as part of your gite package. A barbecue and tools is available allowing 'al-fresco' cooking on a warm summers evening. In the field adjoining the bottom of front garden Madam Monique has a small holding with sheep, chickens and ducks and when they are not off wandering the field can be seen when it's feeding time or time for bed!
