For jogging or simply relaxing, a spacious park with tennis courts awaits you by the riverside.

If our schedules align, we would be delighted to welcome you with a glass of the renowned local VOUVRAY sparkling wine, produced just 5 kilometers away. And if you're lucky, you may even have the opportunity to indulge in a rejuvenating jacuzzi session at our place. Bikes are available free of charge for exploring the city.

Your privacy is assured in this independent space, with the exception of the shared yard among various tenants. You will have access to a designated area for bikes and garden furniture, as well as a washing machine.
