Philip and Janet Potter
Apart d'Arc In a great location, just a few short steps from the Arc de Germanicus and the River Charente, The apartment is generously sized at over 70m2 with a large living room, a king bedroom with en-suite and a twin room with it’s own seating area and also with en-suite. The large kitchen diner also has a casual seating area and is equipped with a dishwasher and a washing machine.. There is also a garden to enjoy. It is perfectly located for a visit to Saintes. The apartment is in the center of everything, half way between the Saint-Pierre cathedral and the Abbaye aux Dames, near to the river, the Jardin Public and the Palu and some lovely walks . The jardin public (gardens), have children's playgrounds and a coffee shop as well as a mini zoo -all just around the corner, There are over 20 restaurants within walking distance together with river cruises, cycling and other attractions on the doorstep.
We have lived in France for 10 years, having moved back to Europe after living in Australia for 30 years. We developed a gîte at our home in the Loire valley and then bought and completely renovated a second house in a nearby village. At the end of 2018, we sold our home and moved south to our favourite town - Saintes. We have had a lovely time showing the Loire Valley to guests from around the world and now we look forward to sharing Saintes with many more.
