With the slightly cooler but dry weather over the last couple of days (25•c) we’ve been doing some Autumn prep and making further improvements to the pool area.

Following this years replacement of the pool filter and liner we are now installing a fence around the pool. For safety reasons we feel it will be an improvement on the current alarm system. To that end we’ve cleared the pool shed and tidied it up ready to tackle the mess of weeds to the side. Today’s job was to clear all the vegetation so that new concrete can go down to secure the fence posts.

Rogan and Josh 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ have been helping inspect the holes to make sure they’re the right depth!!

Did you know you can get to île de Ré in around two hours from Gites du Marigne?

We had a mini break this weekend and whilst we did stay overnight on the island our friends who joined us just made it a day trip.

The île de Ré is stunningly beautiful and an absolute joy for bike riding with miles and miles of dedicated cycle routes criss-crossing the island. It’s well worth the visit.

In Poitiers in the northeast section of the city is a beautiful park called “Parc Floral la Roseraie” which is full of tranquil spaces and stunning plants. There are a huge variety of roses as well as other plants, sculptures and thoughtfully placed seating. Bonus: there’s a coffee shop right next door which serves great coffee and a stunning range of patisseries, salads and sandwiches.

We have an announcement to make! 💚

Chez Hiboux, our 6-person gîte, will be changing to a long-term rental from October 2026. This means that August and September are your final two months to book a holiday stay at Chez Hiboux.

The good news is that our other two gîtes, Chez Tournesol (sleeps 5) and La Petite Maison (sleeps 2), will continue welcoming holiday guests. They can be booked individually or together.

Will we be welcoming you to Gîtes du Marigné soon? 🇫🇷

We love filling up the welcome baskets ready for our guests! There's nothing better than arriving after a long journey to find some treats and essentials 🧺

Welcome baskets vary per stay, and sometimes include bits from our garden depending on the season. You can expect tea, coffee, butter, bread, milk, and more! And if you have dietary requirements, please let us know before your stay (we happen to know the best places to find gluten free bread!)

Will you be receiving one of our welcome baskets soon? 💚🇫🇷

We are now on Air BnB too but for the best prices message us directly or fill in the enquiry form on our website www.gitesdumarigne.com
