Bedrooms on the ground floor stay cool and comfortable even on the warmest summer days. Throughout the cottage are exposed stone walls and beams and Provence style ceramic floor tiles. Sleeps 4.

The veranda overlooks the swimming pool and surrounding countryside. This elevated veranda easily seats 4 to 6 at its umbrella shaded table.

All stairs have "pet" gates, which some families with children have found useful.

The open plan living room - Salle de Commune - is on the first floor. This main room leads directly onto the veranda. 

There is seating for at least 6, a glass fronted, cast iron, log burning fireplace, a DVD-CD player and bookcase.

The island kitchen allows the "cooks" to look out onto the room and enjoy the landscape beyond. Kitchen is fully equipped, including a refrigerator-freezer, a dishwasher, microwave oven, gas cooking stove with oven.

Décor and style. 

Generally, the style of the renovation of The Atelier is traditional tradifage pointed Charentaise stone walls, selected areas of white wall to reflect light, exposed structural wood including massive beams in the salle de commune and a wooden vaulted ceiling. The floors are of ceramic floor tiles

More pictures of the house are to be posted on this page; timing dependent on photographer's schedule. For the moment, to get good idea of what the bedrooms look like, view photos of the LONGHOUSE. This and the ATELIER are very similar in style and decor. http://www.vacationhouseinfrance.com/lnghouse2.html
