Reviews
Anne Selis from Hasselt,
We had a great relaxing time at la prairie. The tent is really amazing, beautiful and well equipped. Cooking on the campfire with the dutch oven brought us a new experience and we enjoyed it!!
The area is nice to discover by car, but the best is to relax and enjoy a long breakfast, prepared by Nadine & Simon, followed with a swim in their pool, or in one of the nearby lakes (they are happy to guide you to the best pearls in the neighborhood).
And the cherry on the cake is definitely the table d’hote!
You will not regret booking your stay here!
Restaurants, food & wine
On-site is an on-site licensed table d'hotes where resident chef, Simon, cooks a couple of evenings a week (advance booking essential). Join us for an aperitif followed by a restaurant quality three or four course dinner. We can also provide delicious breakfast baskets, picnics, barbecue packs cook on the campfire.
There are lots of restaurants within reach, that have featured in the Michelin guide, two of which hold Michelin Stars. There are of course many more authentic little eateries dotted around in nearby towns and villages and at lake side.
You can also visit a number of local producers of wine, goats cheese, snails, beer and vegetables in the area and buy from the local markets (Friday, Saturday,Tuesday and Wednesday) or, if your visit doesn't coincide with market day, there are independent shops specialising in local organic produce and specialities.
Activities
The Indre is a beautiful unspoilt area of France at the southern most point of the Centre Val de Loire region, this is France off the beaten track. There are lots of opportunities for car free days with a number of walking routes from the site, including walks with donkeys! We also have tandem bikes to hire on site for a fun way to explore the local area - or bring your own!
Being on the Creuse/Indre border we are well placed for exploring the ancient province of Berry and the Limousin. By car, you can easily access many lakes for wild swimming, kayaking and fishing - even waterskiing, inflatables and boat trips. There's also a golf course and Spa nearby.
There are lots of cultural and historic places to visit, two of France's most beautiful villages, unique museums, ancient fresco adorned churches, chateaux, gardens and the cities of Chateauroux, Gueret and Bourges are in reach. Brocantes and marchés are also plentiful. You can visit a different marché most days and in the summer months, as well as the brocante shops open all year round, villages have their annual events where the streets are filled with stalls of curios and antiques.
There is an abundance of wildlife here and lots of parks, including the Parc des Parelles and Brenne Regional Natural Park, in which to see it. This is also an area of big dark skies, so stargazing at night is the perfect passtime. We even have a free guide to help you make the most of your stay and we are on hand to help you find those hidden gems!
