Loire Valley Gites and Camping
TranslationA collection of three lovingly restored and refurbished gites, collectively known for over 300 years as Les Chants d’Oiseau (Song of the Birds). Stu & Syb Bradley have been the owners of this rural idyll since leaving the UK for France, along with their three grown children in 2005.
With an emphasis on community, family and quality holidays at affordable prices, Le Chant d’Oiseau has become THE destination for families to return to, as friends, year on year.
Providing guests with homes from home is what we do. Bed linen, towels, gas, electricity, free WiFi – these are all things you’ll not find hidden as ‘extras’. As well as family essentials such as safety gates, cots, high chairs, and even a stroller, the gites all have modern conveniences where possible, such as dishwashers, washing machines, UK TV via satellite, and DVD players. Gite ‘Hibou’ even boasts a 50″ plasma TV!
We can offer you the choice of Chardonneret (sleeps 2), Héron (sleeps 5) or Hibou (sleeps 7). Héron & Chardonneret are ground-floor, and are wheelchair disabled-friendly, with many appliances fitted that help everyone to enjoy their holidays!
The gites are shared with a small (but perfectly formed) camping ground of just 10 emplacements, adding to the community feel. It’s fun, friendly and relaxed here. Children love running freely, or playing in the tree-house, or on the swings. Bracken, our friendly dog loves kids (she can’t eat a full one though…), and kids love her too! Fully fenced, with secure gates, your children are safe, without even knowing it. They’ll enjoy a sense of ‘freedom’ that’s becoming rare in the modern age!
Fresh bread and pastries are delivered daily. We hold twice-weekly plat du jours, as well as wine tastings organised on site and weekly pizza/fouée bakes in our home-built bread oven!
Please accept our invitation to find out why we have so many returning guests, and to sample the ‘douceur Angevin’ here in the heart of the Valley of Kings, the Loire Valley!
