South of the Loire in the beautiful valley of the river Veude our self catering holiday rental is midway between historic Chinon and Richelieu. The house is in the small hamlet of Niollet 1km from the village of Champigny sur Veude. Here as in many of the towns and villages nearby, the footprint of history has left its mark for you to discover. Within an hours driving you can visit many of the great Loire chateaux. The towns of Tours, Poitiers, Saumur, Fontevaurd and the attraction of Futuroscope are all within an hours drive. The region renown for its food and wine has restaurants and bars to suite all tastes and pockets. Summer sees fetes and festivals in the villages and towns. It is a major french wine area and we can direct you to our favourite caves where you will be able to taste, compare and buy local wines at local prices. This is a quiet, calm part of France. People are friendly. The country lanes can be safely cycled and walked and the countryside abounds with wildlife.
