Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday farmhouse in Vigoux - Le Boué
Heated outdoor swimming pool, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 8 +2

Le Boué is a charming, rural, 19th Century farmhouse with a heated (solar) outdoor swimming pool (12m x 5m, fenced for security), situated near Argenton-sur-Creuse in Central France, Loire Valley. Accommodation for 8 people. It has many original features; oak beams, stone walls and large fireplace.

Full central heating for winter lets. It has its own lake with a sun deck overlooking the valley and is situated in an idyllic rural setting of 3 acres of unspoilt countryside. It is totally secluded and safe, away from any passing traffic. Argenton town is 10 minutes by car. Enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area and participate in the many leisure activities available for families and couples alike or just relax by the pool and watch the sunset over the lake. Activities available are; bird watching, horse riding, golf, canoeing and cycling. There are private lakes close by for carp fishing and the Brenne National Park with its 1,000 lakes is a must for any fisherman!

Further expeditions to be made: Situated on the edge of three counties you can profit from a diverse range of activities. Poitiers is about an hour away famous for the fantastic cinematography centre of Futuroscope and Limoges an hour further South with its beautiful cathedral and of course plenty of opportunities to purchase gifts of the outstanding Limoges porcelain. It is also an area of great historic interest. The important château at Châteauguillaume is a fifteen minute drive and further afield the Château of Sarzay which is the process of being restored to its full glory. In a wonderful setting with four towers it is well worth a visit. Or visit the valley of frescoes between St. Savin and Saulge.

The Brenne Natural Park and Lac de Chambon, Eguzon: The Brenne Natural Park with its thousand lakes is a vast conservation area dotted with lakes and criss-crossed with bridle-paths. There are organised hikes or you can simply set out on your own with a map. At the Maison de la Brenne, there is an interpretive centre where visitors can learn about the region, its ancient traditions of fish farming and nature conservation, also there is an excellent restaurant there which is very reasonable. A day out to visit the vast lake at Eguzon is a must. The lake stretches for twenty-five kilometres and is the perfect place where you can learn to water-ski, canoe, sail and windsurf. There are several beaches for swimming and restaurants with a wonderful choice of menus.

Châteauroux: For a day out shopping, Châteauroux has all the major supermarkets selling food, clothes, sports gear at Decathlon etc.etc. Not far is the ancient town of Montmorillon on the edge of the Gartempe with its 'Cite de L'Ecrit' - everything to do with the art of the book - there are also many historic churches to visit in this town along with a famous chocolatier Ranno-Metivier. The pretty town of Argenton-Sur-Creuse is well worth a visit and is only ten minutes away. The ancient houses sit on the banks of the river Creuse and the central square has a welcome café where you can sit out and watch the world go by in true French fashion.

About Laura Jordan

I was born in London then moved to Essex where I grew up and met my husband 25 years ago. He is from Durham and moved to London 26 years ago. We are now a family of 4 and we live in Leigh on sea in Essex.

We were looking for a renovation project in 2001 and bought Le Boué in 2002 and lovingly restored it and developed the land surrounding. A lot of hard work, tantrums and tears were involved but it was worth it. We lived in this house for a few years while we renovated it, preparing it for rental. Our young children attended the local village school. We still visit Le Boué for our family holidays; it holds many happy memories for us.

Laura Jordan purchased this farmhouse in 2002
Why Laura Jordan chose Vigoux

It is remote, surrounded by beautiful countryside and we saw a fabulous sunset over the valley when we viewed it. We fell in love with the place! It teams with wildlife; there are many birds in the garden (Barn owls, swallows, hoopoes, black redstarts) deer (you have to be up early in the morning to see them!), hares and rabbits hopping around.

What makes this farmhouse unique

It is so accessible, remote and tranquil but you would never believe how close the access from the main motorway route is (the A20 which goes south to Toulouse). As you exit the motorway you weave through the country lanes, deeper and deeper and it's like you fall upon a secret location! No neighbours except for the wildlife! Sitting on the deck overlooking the private fishing lake, watching the sunset in the valley you forget about everything and just relax. Or lounge around Solar Heated pool til dusk. It is totally private and is for the sole use of the party staying at the property. What more could you want for a great 'away-from-it-all' holiday.

A Wonderful Place to relax in the Sun.

Review Submitted: 28 August 2012 Date of Stay: August 2012
Just spent a fantastic 2 weeks at this beautiful holiday home in the Indre. The location is very peaceful, although still within striking distance of major towns, charming scenery,and the lake d'Eguzon at Chambon.

The house itself is superb, the rooms are all a very good size, and equiped to a high standard, and it was useful to have the wi-fi at our disposal. The grounds are also lovely, plenty of area to play a small game of cricket or bat-and-ball in, with the feature point of the swimming pool that we put to very good use !

The weather for the 2 weeks was incredible, in fact a little too hot during the middle of our stay when it didn't drop far below 40 degrees in the daytime. However, with the pool available and cold beers and bubbly in the fridge this wasn't too much of a problem!

We tried out the Kayaking, bouees (inflatables), water flume and swimming at Chambon all of which were very good and reasonably priced. I'd particularly recommend the kayaking for a couple of hours along the river. The cafe on the beach was also excellent, croque monsieur, chips and cold draught beer essential on a hot day.

Gargilesse and St Benoit were both charming, the drive up from Eguzon to Gargilesse along the banks of the Creuse a particular highlight. And the Rive Droite restaurant in Argenton was excellent and well priced.

For a day trip out head over to the Brenne National Park. The Haute Touche animal park at Azay-Le-Ferron was fantastic, really lovely surroundings, excellent value, and the combination of safari drive followed by the walking circuit in the trees was lovely. It also never feels like there are too many people there. Combine this with a trip to the chateau at Azay afterwards and the lovely gardens there.

Thanks for sharing your home with us, it definitely didn't disappoint !
Owner's Response: Oh I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay...!!! There are so many beautiful places to explore - it's a hidden gem! Eguzon is a fantastic place for the family to have fun. I am glad also that all our amenities were to your liking, we do aim to please, together with our great caretakers who are in partnership with us! The only thing we can't change is the weather!! Thank you for a wonderful review ;-) .

Two weeks of heaven at le boue

Review Submitted: 03 September 2012 Date of Stay: July 2012
What an amazing property. Everything absolutely lived up to our expectations. Not only did the children (3yrs & 5yrs) love the pool, but the garden and all that came with it, including the trampoline, swing and slide. We truly had the most relaxing and enjoyable two weeks....even managing to watch the Olympics in full. Thank you so much for making this perfect for our summer family break.

Highly recommended and hope to go again sometime (soon!!)

Vicky, Phil, Hannah and Charlotte Woods
Owner's Response: That is great news, happy family holiday memories are priceless!!! We are glad all our facilities met your needs and a great way to remember the Olympics London 2012!!

'I rated your house in the top three of the villas we have stayed in (in no particular order), the grounds were probably the top one. The combination of being five minutes from the A20 yet so far back in the country that you might need light importing, was wonderful, (there was a house about a kilometre however away but you cannot have everything). Other things being equal we expect to rebook next year'

Review Submitted: 28 January 2012 Date of Stay: August 2011
We have had the pleasure of staying at Le Boué on several occasions and we have always found the property in very good order, always very clean and well turned out. The heated pool is a bonus, which allows you to chill out for a day after visiting some of the attractions that are in the area.
There is plenty for the children to play on and of course the lake is great fun for a bit of fishing.
We will definitely visit again. Brilliant!

Owner's Response: You are always welcome! You are great guests and you really look after our farmhouse!
