An 1840s Charentaise farmhouse in the heart of the French countryside, sleeping up to 15 guests across two interconnected gîtes — always reserved for one group at a time.
About the property
A comfortable rural 'longère' in southwest France
Located between Sauzé-Vaussais and Chef-Boutonne, the Gîte du Bois Renard sits within two hectares of private grounds, surrounded by open countryside and woodland. Five minutes from shops and everyday essentials.
Although the property is arranged as two interconnected gîtes, it is always let to a single group — so whether you're planning a family holiday, a multi-generational gathering, or a getaway with friends, the whole place is yours.

The accommodation
Two gîtes, one property
