L'arbre Magnolia

Our child friendly gites are ideal for families, with facilities onsite to amuse children of all ages, including ping pong, a pool table and darts - we provide toys/games, and books from the library.
The shared pool (open end May - end Sept) is situated to the rear of the buildings in a secluded private sun trap, with a lovely open aspect and views of the local wooded area. The pool has easy access by steps, with loungers and parasols for your comfort, pool-side lights and under-water illumination. It is cleaned and maintained on a daily basis, and is fully compliant with French law. The pool is shared with La Maison de Rebeyrat. The rear enclosed garden, shared by both gites, has a gas barbecue where you can enjoy outdoor dining at the table, chairs and parasols provided. There is so much land for children to run around freely and everyone to find their own private space to relax and unwind. There are numerous outdoor activities available around the area. We are popular with ramblers, cyclists, wine-tasters, walkers/hikers, bird-watchers and lovers of the natural world. Walking and mountain biking trails start on the doorstep. All walks/bike rides are clearly signed and maps are available in your gite In the summer months there are lots of night markets to visit, classical evenings, jazz evenings, festivals in the surrounding area. Lots of choice for all the family.
