Farmhouse in quiet country side near main Paris -Toulouse A20

Restful B&B in Central France, Loire Valley, near Argenton sur Creuse.

Our 19th Century farmhouse has been renovated to a high standard having made every effort to retain many of the original features, while incorporating modern amenities. We have created a warm, homely atmosphere for your stay. A great place for children to play and parents to relax, see our favourable room combinations. You can soak up the sun, snooze in the shade or enjoy a bottle of wine from our select collection on the terrace. Malcolm and Edward, your hosts, will endeavour to help you make the most of your stay in their home.

Appleton's is situated on 2 acres of beautifully landscaped countryside with a variety of trees, shrubs and lovely flowering borders. We welcome you to take a stroll through the property including our fruit and vegetable gardens, which provide a bountiful harvest throughout the year for guests and ourselves. Our free-range chickens and ducks are quite entertaining and you are most welcome to help us gather eggs for your breakfast!

Dining is a relaxing experience served alfresco under the garden pergola, weather permitting. Evening meals often include organic meats from a neighbouring farm and fresh, seasonal produce from our garden. All meals are freshly prepared and we can accommodate any special dietary needs and vegetarian meals. Breakfast is a sumptuous offering of our free-range eggs cooked to order, tomatoes and mushrooms along with an assortment of cereals, yoghurts, toast and a selection of homemade jams and marmalade. Your choice of beverage includes fruit juice, unlimited tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

Our 4-legged family members, Gobbi the cat and Leo the Labrador dog, are very friendly and always eager to greet new friends! Our pet-friendly rooms are located on the ground floor for easy access. Please let us know in advance if you wish to bring your well-behaved pet, only one small clean dog per room, as a large breed dog will have to sleep in the lounge or in the owners car until we have made some kennels.

Appleton's is a warm and biker friendly bed & breakfast perfectly situated in the Centre region of France, simply reached by all modes of transport. Our location provides a perfect setting of peace and tranquillity, yet is easily accessible from the motorway, making Appleton's ideal for a weeks holiday or as a stopping point for travellers heading to the South of France and the Mediterranean. We are 6 hours from Calais and just 10 minutes from the A20, exit 17. The Limoges and Poitiers airports are within 1-1.5 hours drive respectively. The main route by train from Paris to Toulouse stops near-by in the town of Argenton sur Creuse or Chateauroux. We are quite happy too provide transport to and from the airports and train stations for a nominal fee.

We are surrounded by fabulous tourist sites; the historic medieval market town of Argenton sur Creuse is just 8 km and Chateauroux, the capital of Indre (Department 36), is located within 30 km. The Eguzon lake-park and the Three Lakes district with their stunning views is just up river with its variety of water sports is a 20-minute drive, closer to hand, the Brenne National park is minutes away.

There are wonderful caves, Mas d'Azil, Niaux, Lombrives, Bedeilhac, all where prehistoric man left behind traces of his life and beliefs through handprints, cave paintings and ancient artefacts. One can visit the underground river ( the largest in Europe) at Labouiche, visit the towns of Mirepoix, Quillan, Esperaza,Limoux, Rennes les Bains, Pamiers, Carcassonne, Beziers or Narbonne - all full of history.

We are located near the Limousin, and are resident English and French speaking owners of this Bed and Breakfast near to Argenton sur Creuse, Saint Benoit du Sault, Eguzon, La Souterraine and Chaillac, just off the main A20 motorway, auto route, between Paris, Limoges, Toulouse.1 1/2 hours from Orleans, a days drive from Carcassonne and the Mediterranean, drive on and see the new Millau bridge, in southern France. On the way back to Calais or Boulogne from Perpignan, Montpellier, Avignon or Narbonne having been in the heart of Cathar country we are a great place to make a stop-over before catching your ferry, similarly we are a great place on the way to these historic towns and cities .

The regional capital of the Centre is the City of Orleans, resting on the banks of the river Loire, the town was besieged by the English, but liberated by Joan of Arc in 1429.

Indre is certainly the unspoilt heart of France, with its stunning scenery and fine chateaux.

We are 30 kilometres from the capital of the region Chateauroux and 8 kilometres from the historical medieval town Argenton-sur-Creuse with its ancient houses almost sliding into the river Creuse.

Argenton-sur-Creuse has a lovely town square where you can sit and drink coffee, it has many shops for you to spend time looking in, or visit the market on Saturdays which is supported heavily by the locals as most of the meats, fruit and vegetables are organic, or visit the museum based at the archaeological dig at Argentomagus, the former Roman town.

Limoges is a wonderful city to explore, only an hours drive south and with many fine restaurants, excellent shopping facilities and a wealth of delightful galleries, museums and local outlets for the famous Limoges pottery.

Poitiers is an hour and a half's drive, it is a charming town which again, is well worth a visit, and famous for the fantastic cinematographically centre of Futuroscope, as is the new 'Vallee de Singes', which houses over 15 species of primates and 200 animals without cages. Futuroscope is a serious days outing and the facilities are marvellous. Also see the department of the Vienne for days out

La Brenne Natural Park with its thousand lakes is a vast conservation area dotted with lakes and criss-crossed with bridle paths. There are organised hikes or you can simply set out on your own with a map.

At the Maison de la Brenne, there is an interpretive centre where visitors can learn about the region, its ancient traditions of fish farming and nature conservation.

A visit to the vast lake ( Lac Chambon )at Eguzon is a must. The lake stretches for twenty-five kilometres and is the perfect place where you can learn to water-ski, sail and windsurf. There are several beaches for swimming and restaurants with a wonderful choice of menus.

La Chatre is famous for being the home town of George Sands , who was among others one of Chopin's mistresses, and Gargilesse, where George Sands had a small home, now home to an assortment of artists whose studios are open to the public.

For a day out shopping Chateauroux has all the major retail shops, and the airport is still used as a base for UN emergency and disaster relief..
