The airy sitting room with plenty of sofas allows you to unwind out of the heat and enjoy the character of these 300 year old farm buildings. During the renovation of this gîte, a family of rabbits was found living under the floor which in turn lends itself to the name La Garenne, meaning warren. The terrace leads directly onto the main pool area which has fantastic, panoramic views across the valley to the south side of the Le Roudier estate.
