Changes for 2013

During the winter of 2012 and Spring of 2013 we are re-decorating

La Colombe and Le Grebe.  We will be keeping the light, airy

decor seen in the current photographs but always want to ensure

everything is looking fresh.  New photographs will be published as

soon as possible.

We also want to ensure our equipment is kept up-to-date.  For 2013

we will be equipping all three gites with iPod and iPhone docking stations/speakers, and espresso coffee-makers. New childrens play

equipment will be installed in the grounds.  Hopefully we will be able

to find suitable canopies to extend the shade provided on the patios.

Private Vineyard Tours Now Offered!
We are proud to announcement that, in partnership with the wine
shop Le Dit-Vin in Descartes, we can now offer guests private

or simply love both, we can design a tour of regional vineyards
to suit your taste. Tours are by appointment only. For more

Le Nouveau Bulletin
Many of our guests have asked to be kept up-to-date with

developments at Les Petites Cigognes, so we publish our news-

letter —Le Nouveau Bulletin - annually.

Garden Update

Over the last couple of years we have been developing the gardens

and area behind the gites.  All the gites now have new patios and

new flower beds; the area around the pool has been planted with

shrubs and hedging which are now firmly establishing themselves.

Altogether we have now planted 220 trees in 'The Triangle' field in

the last 3 years, with another 60 being planted this Autumn of 2012. 

This has included hazel for coppicing, as well as blackthorn, acer and hornbeam.  Despite the severe winters, droughts and torrential rain

of the last few years, most of these saplings have survived.  The

woodland is at last beginning to look a bit more than a few sticks in

the ground!
