Bouges-le-Château, Centre-Val de Loire 36110

2.5 hours from Paris, in Talleyrand's country, a fully restored manor, its heated pool and its garden. A lime-tree-lined drive leads to the manor, surrounded by meadows and woods. Dated to the 15th century, it features the characteristic silhouette of Berry village houses. The building rises two stories under a high roof of flat tiles. On one side, a square tower with a four-sloped roof has been recently erected, in the same spirit as the rest of the dwelling. At the opposite corner, a round tower topped with a pepper-pot is original. An enclosed veranda connects the main body to a projecting wing, lower in height. The garden façade, plastered, is pierced by small- pane cross windows. A bay window with truncated panes precedes the central door. The whole, presently operated as bed and breakfast, has been carefully restored. The adjacent pool overlooks a pavilion with a living room and kitchen, as well as a summer dining room. The surrounding park of about 1.3 hectares opens onto the surrounding countryside.
