Welcome to La Fermette!
La Fermette is our home and gite just outside the small village of Anjouin in the lovely French Loire valley countryside. You will also find Xandra Ceramics here – my wife Xandra’s pottery – where she produces lovely individual hand-made earthenware and also offers classes. If you are interested in the pottery, full details are at her dedicated site at Xandra Ceramics.
As for the gite, it’s a work in progress at the moment. We hope to have it open in Spring 2011. We’re just about to re-start work on it after the winter lay-off when it’s too cold for plaster filler to set. I’ll keep you up to date with progress.
If staying in a comfortable French gite in the Loire valley that sleeps six appeals to you, we’re going to give a healthy discount to people who express their interest early on. There’s no commitment to book – we wouldn’t expect you to reserve a French vacation in a place you couldn’t see yet or get prices for – all you have to do is show your interest using the contact form and we’ll let you know when it’s ready and how much you can save.
I’m also going to put lots of useful information here about the local area and tourism in the Loire Valley, Indre and Cher regions so please pop by often.
That’s all for now. If there’s anything you would like to know about our French gite, the pottery courses or just about this part of France, do drop me a line.
