Maison Lairoux Holiday Homes

We also have a mini gym for those keep fit fanatics! All guests have use of a cross trainer, a treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine and free weights and abdominal cruncher. We also have a selection of bikes available for both for children and adults (please bring your own helmets though).

Beyond the swimming pool and down a few steps you’ll find our organic vegetable garden, where only the hardworking should venture! We grow lots of strawberries, tomatoes, raspberries, peppers, onions, aubergines and more. Guests are welcome to pick some fresh fruit & veggies when in season!

Beyond the vegetable garden lies the extensive lower garden where your children can run & play in safety. There is a large wooden sofa and low table made from recycled pallets surrounded by a wildflower area and overlooking the lawn. A perfect spot for sitting with a book and listening to the birds chirping.

We have several fruit trees - cherry, plum, mirabelle, apple, pear and walnut - so lots of fruits for you crumbles! In the evening you can watch the sun set over the Marais and listen out for the extensive range of birds that live in the gardens – including the Owls that have a nest box in one of our trees, and the Hoopoes that visit in the spring. The garden is also great for dogs - it is fenced in on all sides and large enough to run around in!

We often have Kubb competitions in the garden - with everyone joining in and ending with a post-match Apero - usually a tasting of some of the fruit liqueurs that we make from the garden fruit.

Here are some photos of some of the animals and birds that live in our gardens…. You might spot them at certain times of the year!
