The Gite was lovely. There were eight of us staying, family group of adults and teenagers. The four double rooms, two bathrooms and living space was plenty. The property was clean and well equiped for self catering. Lovely private terrace at the bacl of the property with a BBQ and table and chairs. The pool was perfect, it is shared with the other gites but that was never a problem and we were able to splash around and cool down when we wanted. There are six bikes which we used to explore neighbouring villages, the roads are all flat and quiet and easy to travel on. The area is a quiet rural part of France, La Laigne is a half hour drive to La Rochelle, and the beaches. The village itself does not have a lot of facilities but it is only a ten minute drive to a supermarket. If you like water parks i would recommend La Gliss which is an hour drive away.
Thank you Mathias, we had a lovely week stay.
