Beautiful cottage with pool , LOIRE VALLEY close to ORLEANS .1 hour from Paris .
Loire Valley : only 1hour from Paris, the land of great Chateaux, the 'garden ' of France, and the country of sweet French way of life ...
This property is different it's your chance to experience France at its best! This is a spectacular house set in grounds so beautiful they have been used over the years as a film set (the 2 houses and gardens). This is 'real' France with a chance to live in peaceful tranquil surroundings created with loving care by generations of the owner's family (8). In a 17th century property, the cottage 'Le Pot Vert,' which used to be the vineyard's house, is located in a residential peaceful wooden area in a 10,000 sqm ground with a wood, large yarns, old century trees, pool, kitchen garden, with its separate entrance and parking, from Le Cormier, the main house where live the owners Remi and Frederique.
Pool and Gardens are Shared with the Owners .
SUCH A CONTRAST to the usual places that are just furnished for letting ...
The beautiful gardens and the pool (heated if necessary) close to the cottage is enclosed with a fence . The cottage is rented with self-catering breakfasts: homemade jams, coffee, tea, milk, juices and fresh bread and croissants for the 1st day with a first meal in the fridge, a well stocked pantry, and many, many special other attentions & unique extras (as drinks, wines, flowers, candles, books and guides in English, homemade drawing stationery, stamps, CD, DVD)
Our website : ASK US FOR OUR OWN WEBSITE .
Most of the villages in the area have markets, and you are never far away from excellent and fancy restaurants .
There are 8 golf courses in and around Orleans , riding stables 5 kms away , canoeing or kayaking on the Loire and boat trips on the Canals ( Orleans and Briare ) Some marvellous walks and rides along the 2 paths by the River Loire ( Unesco World Heritage ) You can also take a gentle balloon flight and see the countryside and chateaux hidden among the forests from the air. Loire Valley wine road , by Cheverny, Chinon, Saumur, Sancerre etc...and Vouvray ( which produce the best sparkling wine outside Champagne )
NEW in JUNE 2012 : Opening of the TRAMWAY LINE easy going to ORLEANS City in 15 minutes .

Perfect week in beautiful cottage
We had the most amazing week in this stunning cottage. Frederique and her family were amazing and very helpful when we though we ran into trouble.
Our dog made friends with Nestor and it was pleasure to watch them play in the garden.
Lovely woods at the back of the house and town easy accessible by tram so no need to drive.
Thank you for everything

Charm and hospitality in a relaxing environment
Charming and full of authentic character, Le Pot Vert captures the experience of a cozy cottage with views of nature set in beautiful, well-tended grounds. Since we visited for a week in February, our family of three spent much time indoors, finding the space very comfortable and accommodating. I especially liked the adorable French country kitchen with its pretty views (still a center of activity for us during the pandemic) and the fireplace that kept us warm.
Others have already commented on the generous provisions that Frédérique provides. This is all true but I don’t think it captures the amount of thought and detail she has considered in creating as welcoming a stay as possible. After briefly showing us the house, we were left to relax and feel at home, discovering croissants and other baked goods from her favorite local bakery; a pantry and refrigerator stocked with quality produce and ample ingredients for a few simple meals. This cottage and its furnishing are immaculately maintained and presented.
Together with all this, we enjoyed much privacy during our stay, although we knew that Frédérique was available if necessary to answer any questions that would arise. Living in Paris, we stayed for a week of our daughter’s school break, and found the WiFi to be reliable for work. We drove to Orleans a few times and regularly walked and cycled at the nearby forest. We particularly enjoyed DaVinci’s home, Château du Clos Lucé, near Amboise, about an hour away.
Thank you, Frédérique, for all your efforts!

Lovely cottage
Le Pot Vert is a lovely cottage about 60 miles from Paris, very near to Orleans. Our hosts provided a fridge full of foods, in addition to spirits, wines, coffee, tea, croissants and breads from a local bakery. There is a very nice pool and relaxation area, but we were there in October 2016, so it was too cool to swim. The grounds of their property were very beautiful. Would love to see them in the spring when everything is in bloom!
They also had a book with directions for everything in the cottage and suggestions of places to eat and visit. Lots of maps are also available.
There are several nice restaurants in the area, but you will need to drive to them.
We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a VRBO outside of Paris.
