Les Grezes

If you are considering a holiday in France, a holiday with the freedom to come and go as you please in a peaceful and beautiful countryside location, then Les Grezes near L’Hopital St Jean will be ideal for you and your family.

Staying in one of the three wonderful gites, all of which have recently undergone complete renovation, “La Rose” that sleeps five people easily, “L’Ecurie” which is ideal for smaller families and “Le Balcon” the largest of the Gites can provide accommodation for groups of four to five people. The three Gites are equipped with all the comforts and amenities you’d expect, along with access to a large enclosed swimming pool (complete with retractable dome to protect you from the elements) and a games room with music, a DVD player with a good selection of movies, a pool table, books and board games and a dart board.

They have plenty of parking and access to a private patio and BBQ area with a surrounding ten acres of enclosed woodland for you to venture out into and explore. This area also comes with sun loungers and all the garden furniture you’ll need to soak up the sun.

Owners Dave and Jenny Stannard live on site and are on hand to make you welcome and advise on local amenities.

They’ve put a lot of thought into what you’d need for your first holiday to France and even thought how you might need to deal with travel, the culture and other ways of life that seasoned Francophiles take for granted.

Their website has an in-depth section entitled “Visitor Assistance” and goes into detail covering everything you could need to know from travel insurance to useful french phrases to be used in possible emergencies.

“La Rose” - sleeps 5
