Gîte Le Travezay is a small house let whole, at Le Petit Travezay, a hamlet in the commune of Courcoué in the far south of the Indre-et-Loire. Richelieu, the planned town the cardinal had built in one piece in the seventeenth century, is a few minutes away by road, and Chinon lies to the north.
The garden is what the place is for. There is a heated pool, twelve metres by five, warm enough to swim in through the summer, with sun loungers, parasols and a hammock around it. The terrace is private, with garden furniture and a gas plancha to cook on outside.
Indoors there is an infrared sauna and a jacuzzi, and an elliptical trainer and a treadmill for anyone who wants them. The kitchen and the laundry are the guests' own. Wifi is included, parking is free and there is a charging point for an electric car.
