Local area

Appleton's is perfectly situated in Indre in the Centre region of France. Our location provides a perfect setting of peace and tranquillity, yet is easily accessible from the motorway, making Appleton's ideal for a weeks holiday or as a stopping point for travellers heading to the south of France and the Mediterranean. 

Indre is certainly the unspoilt heart of France with stunning scenery and fine chateaux.

We are 30km from the capital of the region, Chateauroux, and 8km from the historical medieval town Argenton-sur-Creuse with its ancient houses almost sliding into the river Creuse.

Argenton-sur-Creuse has a lovely town square where you can sit and drink coffee, it has many shops for you to spend time looking in, or visit the market on Saturdays which is supported heavily by the locals as most of the meats, fruit and vegetables are organic, or visit the museum based at the archaeological dig at Argentomagus, the former Roman town.

Limoges is a wonderful city to explore, only an hours drive south and with many fine restaurants, excellent shopping facilities and a wealth of delightful galleries, museums and local outlets for the famous Limoges pottery.

Poitiers is an hour and a half's drive. It is a charming town and famous for the fantastic cinematographically centre of Futuroscope.

La Brenne Natural Park is a vast conservation area dotted with lakes and criss-crossed with bridle paths. There are organised hikes or you can simply set out on your own with a map.

A visit to the vast lake (lac Chambon) at Eguzon is a must. The lake stretches for twenty-five kilometres and is the perfect place where you can learn to water-ski, sail and windsurf. There are several beaches for swimming and restaurants with a wonderful choice of menus.

La Chatre is famous for being the home town of George Sands, Chopin's mistress, and Gargilesse, where George Sands had a home, now home to an assortment of artists whose studios are open to the public.

We are 6 hours from Calais, the Limoges and Poitiers airports are within 1-1.5 hours drive respectively and the main route by train from Paris to Toulouse stops nearby in the town of Argenton sur Creuse or Chateauroux.
We are quite happy too provide transport to and from the airports and train stations for a nominal fee.
