The village is dominated by an imposing Chateau which originates from the 14th Century and boasts later additions by the designer of the Louvre museum in Paris. Other historical buildings in the village include The Presbytery, the 12th Century church of the Notre Dame de L’Assumption and an ancient gaol.
The village has the benefit of a restaurant which is open year-round, offering local French cuisine and is popular with locals and visitors alike.
“If you want a peaceful and tranquil place to stay then this is perfect. The gîte had everything I needed, the views were amazing, and even in October I enjoyed the pool. I can’t wait to go back.”
“We found a true haven of peace here. After a difficult time, staying at Retreat au Numero Huit did us the world of good. We loved the garden, the pool and the beautiful villages nearby – it was exactly what we needed.”
