The swimmingpool is in front of the gîte next to a large terrace. There is also a landing-stage for boats 4,5x6,5 meter, large enough for sunbathing or a lunch/dinner with stunning views over the river. For your convenience there is a barbecue direct next to the landing-stage. You can bring your own boat, or rent a boat with or without engine. Also canoes and pedaloes are available for rent. In walking distance there is a private tenniscourt. Inside the gîte is very tastefully fitted with antique furniture and equiped with all modern conveniences.
The owners live nearby, available for help, if required.
