France is a beautiful country and it's beauty, is in the space between cities and towns, we are extremely lucky to live in the Loire Vallee, with it's mighty river La Loire, along the river from Angers to Orleans there are many beautiful Chateau properties, most are privately owned and many available for you to visit, a treat to see the French idea of a time gone by.
Vernantes is a lovely village, set upon the gentle slopes just above the beautiful city of Saumur. Once you visit Vernantes, you will find Eugene Livet centrally located in a side street as a perfect holiday home fully equipped to cater for you and your family.
After your journey we welcome you in with a glass of something local, either white or red whilst we show you around, there is a welcome pack so no need to rush out immediately for the essentials.
A well-presented holiday home for up to 6 people or just a couple who can enjoy the area on foot, on a cycle or in the car. The cycling is very level and 30kms is easily done in just around 2 hours on a bike.
Within minutes you can be in any one of the bars or the restaurant in the Pelican Hotel, the village boasts a corner shop, two boulangeries, a florist, a beauty treatment salon, hairdressers, chemist, a library and a garage. Only 15 minutes walk there is a larger supermarket ideal for the weekly shop or of you prefer within 20 minutes drive to Saumur where there is an entire range of shops supermarkets, discount stores (Lidl & Aldi).
A day trip to any one of the theme parks at Puy du Fou, or Poitiers for Futuroscope a great day out to an extraordinary park. For those that enjoy wine tasting there is a dearth of wine producers all within 15 minutes by car to the rolling hills that produce some fabulous wines of the Loire. There are lakes and beaches where a day out picnicking and relaxing again all within 20 minutes and all away from the bustle of the city.
There is a splash pool if you like to make use of it, however there is no lifeguard facility, so children must be supervised. Or just sit and relax in the enclosed courtyard terrace or just in the garden reading a book. There are some raised beds of seasonal vegetables which are offered occasionally to our guests.
Beside some lovely Chateau’s which really you must visit and many are along the Loire river, where kayaking, fishing, canoeing, sailing and pleasure trips are available. 2018 was a lovely summer and as I write this small introduction in late October the temperature is still around 20-23 degrees, so why not join me at Eugene Livet in 2019 for a break away from all the hard work, wherever you live.
For those looking for the excitement of Le Mans racing circuit we are only 70 kms away by a very easy route direct to Le Mans, via Noyant, Le Lude, Mulsanne and Allonnes.

Tony, the owner, welcomed us with a quick, unfussy, tour of the house, which is furnished, decorated and equipped like a real home rather than a holiday 'pad'. It was just up our street as a family of four adults, having plenty of space. The patio was great for lunches, and the splash pool down the garden was a great cooler on the hot days of July (of which there were many!). Tony was available but not intrusive , and shared the produce of his vegetable garden generously! We loved walking 2 mins. to the baker for bread or croissants before breakfast, in this ordinary little French village. If you want a taste of real France along with the more familiar comforts of a British home, this is for you.Guest rating:
We stayed here for a few days, wow, what a lovely house and Tony is so relaxed and easy going, most welcoming. The village is nice two wonderfull old churches a couple of local bars and a Hotel with a decent restaurant. The accomodation though, was above and beyond expectations and only around 15mins from Saumur. Thanks Tony for a great few days. AlastairGuest rating:
We stayed here as a family of three adults and two children and the house was absolutely brilliant for us all and Tony was a very discreet yet friendly and very helpful host (he lives in an adjacent property). The house was equipped with every conceivable thing you might need in a lovely calm and quiet village that is handily placed for many towns, vineyards and lake/river beaches (particularly recommend Bourgeil). We could not believe that this little gem was till available for our late booking - but others loss was definitely our gain. Would we stay again - you bet we would and without a moments hesitation.Guest rating:
Beautiful home with all the conveniences; decorated and furnished to a high standard; friendly and helpful owner; after day's outings visiting Loire valley chateaux and vineyards, or outings to Angers, Saumur, and Amboise, the house was so welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommended. Fay WilliamsGuest rating:
We enjoyed a late Summer break at Eugene Livet in September 2015. Tony made us very welcome and was a great host. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed all the comforts of home. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything a family could need. The village and area is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful Loire. We particularly enjoyed the many mountain bike routes through the forests and farm lanes which would also suit anyone who enjoys hiking. Thanks again Tony.Guest rating:
We have just spent a lovely week at this superb property. The house is beautifully decorated and the modern kitchen has great appliances. The main bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed and a fantastic en-suite shower room. Tony was very welcoming on our arrival and supplied a very generous welcome pack. The house is in a lovely location in the village and is only a few minutes stroll from all the local amenities, and is a perfect base for visiting the likes of Saumur, Chinon and the wider Loire valley. Thanks again Tony and MarianaGuest rating:
My wife and I and mother-in-law have stayed at this property on two occasions and have been delighted at the total comfort and high-spec finish of the home. It's a delight to sit in the sitting room with the wood-burner going in the fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen and up-to-date appliances make it a pleasure to use. We had a dinner party in the dining room which easily accommodates eight, and again there is an open fireplace with wood-burner. The location gives easy access to Saumur, Angers, the Loire Valley etc. We received a very warm welcome and clear instructions on the use of the appliances. Beds were comfortable, great showers; we can strongly recommend a stay!
