We had a hiccup a couple of weeks ago when we found out that our paperwork had not made it back to a gite owner and we had lost our gite near Angles sur l’Anglin. We found out on a Wednesday evening before the Saturday that we were due to arrive. The gite owner was embarrassed and contacted the local tourist people in Poitiers early Thursday morning. One helpful operator and after some discussion we had ourselves another place. Located in Champagne-le-sec, about 50 kms further south in the Vienne.
So we lost a gite that Randall had carefully researched via the web and gained a gite at the last minute based on a simple description of the place. Angles sur L’Anglin is a pretty village belonging to “One of the most beautiful villages in France” association whilst Champagne-le-Sec is a small hamlet of 200 souls; no coffee shops and no boulangerie. A subsequent visit to Angles sur L’Anglin revealed a dying village!!!
