I tried to make a presentation for different styles of stays, + or - idle, + or - independent, + or - participative, it's up to you.
The setting
It is an old farm, in the commune of Loché sur Indrois, 5 km from the town. It is totally rural, at the edge of the Baugerais wood, 4km from the forest of Loches. There are many circuits for walkers, or mountain bikers, or quad. It is not difficult to see wild animals (game, heron etc..); Small shops around 5km. Tourist places at 1h or 1h30 by car (Chateaux of the Loire, Beauval Zoo, Festival of the Gardens of Chaumont, Park of the Haute Touche, region of La Brenne...)
The spots
The caravan on site, is installed on the part "canvas of tent" (see photos)
Unfenced land, with a small water feature, in harmony with nature.
It is a folding caravan of 2+1 places with gas stove 2 fires and small electric refrigerator. The instant reservation is possible in season. During the low season, it is necessary to inform me 3 days in advance to reserve the caravan.
It is possible to lend me one or two small tents (3 places) if you tick an extra person (over or equal to 13 years old) to the real number (which is equivalent to the rental of the assembled tent). The tent will be installed on your arrival by notifying me 3 days in advance by confirmation of the reservation. Thank you for your understanding
The sanitary facilities
You will have access to a bathroom (shower and toilet) at the inhabitant's house, with independent access during the day which also gives access to a sink to wash the dishes. In addition to that, dry toilets are available in an old pigsty. Possibility of putting a camping shower at your disposal (shower plugged into the cigarette lighter with a tent shower cabin and hot water canister) for "long stays"; please let me know 3 days in advance, by confirmation of the reservation, to have this accessory because I have to install it. Thank you for your understanding.
The amenities
Summer kitchen" area under an awning, with a stove (oven and hot plate), a small fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a gas plancha, a small barbecue, a garden table, night lighting for summer evenings, dishes available, a cold water point on the front of the house, 2 electrical outlets accessible outside, loan of extension cord, wifi. Possibility to lend 2 bicycles (please let me know in advance), (email hidden)Only the space under the awning is lit. I can also propose a simple camping space, if you have your own camping equipment, see my other announcement to this effect, with the provision of the "summer kitchen" space and the bathroom at the inhabitant. For the animals, the ground is not closed (except for the horses), there is however a small wire kennel which can accomodate punctually a dog or a cat or birds (or exclusive because not all at the same time of course!)
The activities
On the spot, walking, local festivals, some historical monuments to visit (Chartreuse du Liget, Citadelle of Loches, Castle of Montrésor), lake of Chemillé (fitted out in family nautical base with among others accrobranche). Natural swimming in the Indre river at 5 km, very nice for families. Pony club (pony and horses) at 15 minutes. Verneuil golf course at 30 minutes, ULM airfield at 10 minutes. One hour drive from Tours or Blois or Châteauroux. 20 minutes from the Beauval Zoo and the Seygi water sports center, half an hour from the Haute touche animal park. Foret des livres in Chanceaux près Loches last weekend of August. And a little further by car around 1H or 1h30, the castles of the Loire in the north, and the ponds of the Brenne in the south. Also an hour drive from the Chaumont Gardens (international garden festival of Chaumont sur Loire), 1h30 from Georges Sand's house.
My mare Pouchka and I are ready to take you for a walk in the forest, if time and my availability allow it.
Other things
Possibility to pick some fruits or vegetables depending on the season. For the specific needs of the camper (emptying) we have to see.
There is always "garden maintenance" to be done, if you wish and if you know a little bit about it, a little help for the garden maintenance against "reimbursement" of a part of the reception fee, make me the proposal at the beginning of your stay...we can always arrange it.
I tried to make a presentation for different styles of stays, + or - idle, + or - independent, + or - participative, it's as you wish.
Tent ready
