If you are arriving after the shops have closed then please let us know of anything you will need and we can shop for your first evening. Some shops in Gemozac are open on a Sunday morning, but the Supermarket is closed. The bread van visits La Maison du Puits every other day except Sunday and arrives between 9:30 and 11:00am, you will hear the horn when the van arrives.
We have a basket full of information leaflets on different places to visit, also things to do for both adults and children. Parking is easy at the back of the house, so no long trips with luggage or shopping. Start day is usually Saturday, however should you want to stay a few days mid week on your journey further south or simply for a weekend please contact us as we are happy to be flexible where we can. Similarly if you are looking for a base to house hunt in the area and would like long or short term let, then please ask for availability and prices. The property will be ready for a 4pm check in and we ask that you leave by 10am on check out day, however, we can be flexible where possible.
We do not allow pets as we have a few of our own. Smoking is not acceptable inside L'Ecurie du Puits.

We had a lovely long weekend with brilliant weather! The games and basketball area is great. Visited the zoo at La Palmyre and were impressed with the animal. Enjoyed every minute - back next year.
Lucy, Paul and Peanut - August 08
We had a lovely week, L'Ecurie has a great feel very homely. There is so much to se and do and all within easy reach of La Foy. We will need to return for a fourth visit to see some of the places we have yet to see, The Medoc for example.
The Rust Family - August 08
Our initial contact via your website (very good) and the friendly emails we received were a good omen and we have not been disappointed. L'Ecurie has been perfect for us. We really appreciated the welcome pack which was exceptionally good. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant

On my pilgrimage to Santiago da Compostella it happened that I got the address of your gite from a former shelter place. I brought the sun with me, but it left when I departed. Merci, merci, merci

You made us so welcome and were a great help to us. We are so grateful for all your advice whilst searching for our own home in France. We don't want to leave, but we will be back soon. We wish you all the best - you deserve it. Many thanks.
Trish and Mick - Nov 07
Thank you for helping us out in our hour of need - in more ways than one! Your gite was comfortable and met all our needs with the added bonus of being able to be the first to use the wi-fi broadband connection. Spent a fantastic week exploring your region, blessed with blue skies and warm temperatures. We hope to make a return visit.

What a great weekend. Thank you both for your hospitality. Did not think there were any shops or people in France until we went to Cognac - made my weekend!
Tommy and Gill - Oct 07
To enjoy the charms of rural France again was a dream we never thought would happen again, our memories of many years past have come rushing back thanks to the generous and sensitive care of your both. Many thanks
