[post_content] => La Baleine family gite is next toour gite La Vierge, south facing and adjacent to the garden area. It is a private gite in that its terrace is surrounded by a high wall, giving some shade and some privacy. It sleeps 6 in 4 bedrooms.
The cottage may also suit someone who has difficulty with stairs since it has a downstairs single bedroom with en suite shower room and toilet, ideal when bringing Grandma or Grandpa. The door is extra wide to allow wheel chair access to the room, however we strongly advise you speak to us first if you do require wheelchair access to the property as some areas may not be suitable. Please note that the high wall means that parents of young children will not be able to see them in the play garden. The courtyard has a gate, so you can prevent toddlers escaping from your view when you don't want them to.

[post_content] => A quirky, charming little house in a romantic setting overlooking the mediaeval town of Confolens in the Poitou-Charentes region of France, La Petite Tour (The Little Tower) is the perfect spot for a romantic weekend or short break for two. It's equally suitable for singles. A place to chill out, re-charge the batteries, find inspiration or just watch the world go by.
The building (or part of it) dates back to to the 11th Century, when it formed part of the Porte Saint Michel gates, leading from the area of St. Michel into the mediaeval town of Confolens. A gate hook remains on the wall to this day, and the bulding is classified as an ancient monument.
It's unclear exactly when the building was first used as a house, but when the present owners acquired it in 2010, it hadn't been occupied for about twenty years. Today, the interior of the house has been transformed into a sympathetically designed, cosy living space, combining modern living requirements with the charm of some original features.
Within about 45 minutes' drive of Limoges airport and 1 hour 10 minutes of Poitiers, with easy access to the A10 motorway network and with TGV (high speed) rail connections to Eurostar from Limoges, Poitiers or Angouleme railway stations, visiting the lovely old town of Confolens is easy.

Chasselas is very toddler friendly: there are no long flights of stairs (gate provided for the short flight), a large bath and gated private garden area right opposite the children's' play area. A parking space is provided in the covered area between the main lawn and the pool
Leading off from the back of the stone-walled living area is a double bedroom with a 1.8x2m solid oak four poster bed (and a wash basin). There are two good sized twin rooms up a couple of short flights and a large bathroom with wc, basin and tiled, family-sized "wine-cuvee" bath/shower at mezzanine level. Great fun for toddlers!
