Located in a tiny hamlet, in the depths of rural France about ten minutes from the mediaeval town of Malestroit, La Maison Blanche enjoys solitude.
The hamlet is inhabited by three widows, they have an average age of 78. They enjoy routine, and they do the same thing every day, a little bit of cleaning in their respective houses in the morning, a hot midday lunch, a short sieste and a two hour walk starts at 2.30. Not much gets past these determined women. Should you be a bit unsure as to the exact location of La Maison Blanche they will wave you in with a cheery smile!.
If you are seeking peace, then La Maison Blanche is for you, here you will hear the birds and see the stars.
Malestroit, the nearest town is located next to a canal and with its tarmaced towpaths it is perfect for cycling or walking. A visit to the weekly market is a must, every Thursday the town square is crammed full of stalls selling fresh fish, vegetables, hot roasting chickens, live chickens and ripe cheeses!!.
Malestroit also hosts regular medieval weekends, where the centre of the town is completely closed to cars and knights on horseback take over the town and there are three days of jousting, medieval crafts and feasts to be enjoyed!.
La Maison Blanche is available to let all year round and we still have a few available weeks during the summer. To have a quick preview of La Maison Blanche, check out this video.
