The house
La Croix has a large lounge / dining room with a feature fireplace and log burner - always useful during those winter months! We have equipped the lounge with a TV, DVD and a Wii games console. There are a selection of DVD’s and games for you to enjoy. The TV is set up to receive English television via Sky, so there is no need to miss your favourite programmes, you just need to remember France is an hour ahead! For those occasions where you just want to listen to music we have a radio/CD player with iPod dock as well as separate Bluetooth speaker. La Croix has also recently had WIFI installed which is free for all our guests to use. The kitchen is equipped with all the modern facilities you would expect including a washing machine, dishwasher, Tassimo coffee machine and fridge/freezer.

All ground floor doors have a minimum clear opening of 780mm, however no specific handrails or grab rails are provided within the property. The ground floor consists of a lounge/dining room, kitchen, walk in shower room and large master bedroom and has level access to the front of the property.

It is less than a 20 minute drive to Saumur and the Loire river. La Croix is situated between the villages of Courleon and Gizeux on the edge of the Parc Naturel Regionale Loire-Anjou-Touraine.

Restaurants, food & wine
Le Cafe Musee - the nearest cafe/restaurant to La Croix in the village of Parcay les Pins. Recently taken over by an English couple who used to manage La Croix for us. They have regular themed nights and offer a good value meal. It is also perfect for a coffee or something stronger at any time of the day. On a Thursday evening they hold a regular 'Fish & Chips' night, so if you are missing that English chippy tea head over to Le Cafe Musee on a Thursday.
Le Beouff'tard, Hommes - a local restaurant in the village of Hommes which is about a 10 minute drive from La Croix. The menu is traditionally French with a great value 'menu du jour' served at lunchtimes. It is popular with locals especially at lunchtimes and gives you a real feel of French life. In the Summer months, try combining a visit to Plan d'eau de Hommes with a visit to Le Beouff'tard.
Restaurant le Grand Bleu, Saumur - Our favourite restaurant in Saumur. Perfect for fish, seafood, grills and summer salads. They also have a children's menu so the whole family can enjoy the great food. You will find it in the old town of Saumur and it has tables inside and outside during the Summer months. At busy times of the year it is advisable to ring ahead and book a table.
Activities
Our gite is ideal for those who enjoy active holidays, the area is perfect for cycling with empty roads and endless forest trails. You can hire out canoes on one of the many local lakes or rivers and with Saumur being famous for its ‘Ecole Nationale d’Equitation - Cadre Noir’ there are lots of local places to go horse riding as well as visiting the Cadre Noir itself in Saumur. Although not close to the coast there are plenty of choices for swimming too - the many natural lakes in the area have beaches and safe swimming areas which have lifeguards in the peak summer months. Take a canoe or kayak out on La Loire or La Vienne rivers or many of the local lakes including Lac du Rille. It is also well suited to those who prefer the slower pace of life with many Chateaux, gardens and historic towns within an easy drive. The layout of the accommodation makes it accessible for all ages and the less mobile.
