The environment
Domaine de Bonneuil

The “Domaine de Bonneuil” estate is situated on the commune of Chémery (post code 41700), in the heart of the Cher Valley and the Châteaux of the Loire, at the crossroads between Sologne, Touraine and Berry.

At the heart of a family agricultural and forestry estate, the “BONNEUIL gîte” offers an exceptional environment to those seeking a relaxing stay surrounded by nature.

The access road follows the embankment of the Bonneuil lake (30 hectares), which is home to, amongst other things and according to the season, ducks, grebes, great white herons, herons, moor hens and white swans; on the north, it is surrounded by the Motheux forest and on the south by farmland and the Bonneuil woodland, where deer, hare, pheasants or partridges may often be seen.

The home
The residence

Situated in an exceptional environment, the “Domaine de Bonneuil” residence is an old Sologne farm house authentically restored and fitted out to accommodate up to 15 persons with all modern comforts.

The layout of the house and its surroundings were designed in such a way as to best meet the requirements of our hosts and encourage them to return to discover other aspects of our splendid tourist region and its gastronomy.

We chose to adapt the whole of the ground floor and the house’s surroundings, so as to be able to welcome people of reduced mobility. A bedroom was thereby specially designed with appropriate shower and WC.

Particular attention was also paid to the house layout, so as to make savings on water and electricity : natural lighting; increased house insulation; swimming pool insulation; underfloor geothermal heating ; water saving units.

The many large window frames allow maximum use to be made of natural light, thereby creating a very cosy atmosphere in each of the rooms.

The outdoor
Domaine de Bonneuil

The outside area to the west of the building is designed as a garden and areas of relaxation, including in particular : a heated swimming pool, a pergola/solarium, a barbecue area, a pétanque ground and a ping pong table.

The swimming pool, through its location benefiting from sunshine all day long and its size and specific design, was conceived in such a way as to a place for play and conviviality.

Accessible via a corner staircase and measuring 10 metres by 5, with a depth of 1.5 metres throughout, it offers pleasant moments of relaxation and détente.An adjoining pool 1.2 metres deep was built to allow children to catch their breath more easily.

An immersed bench facing due south and wide areas set aside for deck chairs also provide for pleasant moments of conviviality. It is made safe thanks to an electric above ground cover and a surrounding fence. No chlorine is added to the water.
