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
Basic pitches in the old farmyard for camping cars. The caravan on site is installed on the "tent" part (see pictures)
Unfenced land, with a small water feature.
It is a folding caravan of 2 or 3 places with gas stove 2 fires and small electric refrigerator.
Possibility to lend a small tent (3 places)
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 a hot water canister; please inform me 4 days in advance to have this accessory at your disposal because I have to install it).

Possibility to lend 2 bicycles, (email hidden)Only the space under the awning is lit. The folding caravan is designed for 2 or 3 people (with fridge, gas stove, and electricity). In order to prepare your reception in these conditions, it is necessary to warn me at least 4 days in advance, thank you for your comprehension. I can also propose a simple space campers, to see my other advertisement for this purpose, with the provision of the space "kitchen of summer" and the bathroom at the inhabitant. The land is not enclosed, but there is a small kennel with a grill that can accommodate 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 (arranged in family nautical base). 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, the Loire castles in the north, and the Brenne ponds in the south. Also one 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
