Fenhee family, Chicago
We have all very much enjoyed our stay at Les Averries. The cottage is beautiful, charming and comfortable in all ways. The gardens, magnificent. The hosts, most gracious. We also enjoyed the pool. The lovely village, a short walk or bicycle ride away, has all that one might need. This is a perfect place for unhurried days and visits to the many nearby attractions, there is much to see and do for all ages. Young and old enjoyed the magnificent château. We do so hope to return.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week in Les Averries! A fantastic spot for children and adults. We feel we only 'scratched the surface' of the beautiful Val de Loire and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and helpful host Michel.  We have now filled our car with wonderful wine from the Caslot winery and our minds full of wonderful memories.

Thank you, for your beautiful home. It was easily within reach of every place we visited and we loved the coziness and the pool to return to each day. Your roses are exquisite and the garden and yard are so beautiful. We lacked for nothing.
