Home description

Enjoy the peace of 'Le Four Rouge', situated on the edge of a quiet farming hamlet, surrounded by french countryside.

At Le Four Rouge we have three adjoining gite properties in our barn conversion, one of which sleeps 4 and the other two sleep 5 people, plus two detached cottages sleeping 2 or 6 people. Our largest cottage has ground floor accommodation suitable for guests with restricted mobility.

Our properties are stone built with tiled floors and are open plan in design with many internal beams exposed in order to add to their rustic charm. Three of them have wood burning fires for warmth on cooler evenings. They all have their own outside area with patio furniture and barbecues.

There is a shared ‘figure-of-eight’ shape pool and plenty of space for play or quiet relaxation. In the grounds we have a well equipped children’s play area with swings, slides, climbing frame and sand-pit. There is a boules track and a further acre of field is available for ball games.  There are chairs and tables located around the grounds, some in the sun and some under the cool shade of our two large oak trees.

The terraced swimming pool is 11m x 7m and has a constant depth of 1.20 m. It is fully fenced and gated in accordance with french regulations.

We also have plenty of games, toys, books and videos for children and adults of all ages.

Le Four Rouge provides an ideal base for touring the famous vineyards and chateaux of the Loire. There are nearby forests and lakes with safe man-made beaches, providing swimming, watersports and cycling and walking trails. Golf and fishing are also popular in this area. The coastal resort of La Baule, with its 5km long sandy beach, is approximately one hours drive away.

About the location

Le Four Rouge is found in a small farming hamlet looking out over open farmland in the picturesque Western Loire approximately 1 hour 45 mins from the port of St. Malo. It provides a quiet rural location yet we are just 3km from the market town of Chateaubriant with its 12th century chateau and 1.5km from our local village store, church, boulangerie and bars. Providing an ideal base for touring the famous vineyards and chateaux of the Loire, an approximate 45 minute drive leads you to the "muscadet" wine-growing area situated around Nantes incorporating many kilometres of sign posted scenic drives.
