Welcome in Berry, for rural and heritage hollidays
In the center of the France :
Our home is situated at 1 km of Vallenay - a town with 700 inhabitants in the Berry. It's a country of the centre of the France.
The House was built at the beginning of the century and it is quite typical. It is in the country and the garden, with plenty of trees can be a wonderful playground for children. The property is lovely and particularly pleasant in Summer.
The fields are around our home and here are a lot of walks and a river (le Cher) cross our village
In summer the children like swimming when the weather is fair ! You could discover the Berry and you will have the opportunity to visit the most prestigious castles of the Loire (Chambord, Chenonceaux, Amboise, Valencay, Villandry, …). In addition to that, there are many more things to discover close to our house (Abbeys, Churches, Castles, Forests, Vineyards, Walking places, …).

We had a fantastic exchange with our hosts from Berry, France. A wonderful and relaxing home and a great location. Our hosts were very, very kind. Communication was excellent; we exchanged many tips and information, and chatted before, during, and after the trip. And our children and we loved the cats :-)
Great communication with the family as from the start (via messages and later WhatsApp). Home is amazing, accurately represented and was perfectly prepared for our arrival. Upon return to our house, we found it in impeccable state. We highly recommend exchanges with this Intervac family.
Een geweldig huis in de verrassende omgeving van de streek Berry ten zuiden van de prachtige stad Bourges. De bewoners waarmee we ruilen zijn zeer sympathiek en uitermate betrouwbaar.
