Yet another Gite.


But we liked the new gite a lot and our hosts were terrific, friendly and very helpful. The gite is on a single level, totally renovated with all mod cons. We were only there for a week and it quickly passed. We filled the time visiting nearby villages and hamlets, the towns of Poitiers, Niort and Angouleme.
All of these larget towns were less than 1 easy hour away.
Champagne-le -sec has about 5 English renovations either in place or underway. Our hosts liked the idea in principle but one is a neighbour who they have not seen for over 12 months. A younger family where the bloke bought quickly some two years ago but apparently has had a bit of a change of heart or finances and the place has been on the market for over 12 months now. Tempting, tempting opportunity but we resisted!!
