Le Pigeonnier

It is a beautiful Gite in a great location. The owners are lovely, always ready to help, but not intrusive.

The Perfect French Break

We have stayed in cottages all over Europe and this was one of the best. Although the dovecote is in the grounds of the hosts property, it feels very secluded, private and very quiet. Our hosts were delightful! A really charming and genuine couple who go out of their way to make your stay is memorable. They even bought charcoal for us for the BBQ. They speak English brilliantly which was a relief as we dont speak French. The dovecote has recently been converted to accomodation and looks stunning. Its a bonus having a washing machine as most places dont. You have your own private garden which borders a vineyard. Its perfectly French! You walk round the garden at night and just hear the birds. You are surrounded by countryside & vineyards but only 15 minutes away from Saumer which is quite big and has all your supermarkets & places to eat. There are lots of tourist places to visit on your doorstep and we appreciated the recomendations by our hosts that we couldnt find on the internet. Our stay was brilliant and it was a pleasure to have met our hosts. We even have plans to drive down again next year just to stay there again. Thank you for a wonderful break.
