My name's Sylvie, I'm a French native who lived with my English husband Mark in England for 6 years before we bought this property in Fontevraud in 1992 , part of which was renovated as the gîte in 2007. We have two grown-up children : Annabelle and Samuel who live and work in Angers.
"After working for 18 years, as Head of the Language Center at the Saumur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I wanted to become self-employed in the privileged setting of our exceptional village and developed a language and gîte business"
"With the renovation works carried out on the outbuildings in 2007, Mark and I wanted you to enjoy all the traditional architectural style of the region : wooden beams,, tufa stone thick walls ( keeping you cool in summer), a slate roof, whilst being able to enjoy all the modern amenities, including a wood pellet stove for extra cosiness, coming on top of the central heating. "
Of course we can only welcome one family at a time, so you have the privileged use of the property and the pool.
