Rural retreat in Champagne Country with large pool - Friends & family friendly! | House in Éclance

Eclance, in gaulois meaning a clearing in a wood; is situated on the border of the Champagne vineyards of the Côte des Bar region, the Park Naturel Regional of the Forest of the Orient and faming countryside. Situated on the edge of the village and facing the pretty church, our four gîtes comprising Les Hirondelles (The Swallows), Les Moineaux (The Sparrows), Les Tourterelles (The Turtledoves) and Les Chouettes (The Owls), are classed four stars and are set along a little street/courtyard. Our property is known as La Ferme des Tourterelles (Turtledove farm). Sleeping 22 -26 people, they provides a great way to holiday with friends and family. The set up gives you the opportunity to holiday together; as well as find space to relax and tranquility if that is what you are looking for.
The kitchens are fully equipped making it easy to cater for yourselves. The two largest gîtes where you can congregate have wood burners if you want to inject further ambience to your gatherings if needed. Eight of the eleven bedroom have their own ensuite bathrooms, with only two bedrooms needing to share a shower room and a wash room. If there is anything key you want to see whilst here on UK Freeview TV, the TV's are connected to satellite. Parking is available in the big stone barn at the end of the courtyard which keeps your cars cool in the hot summers and frost free in the winters.
The large outdoor heated pool and gardens with views onto rolling farm land and forests of Park naturel régional of the Forest of the Orient, will entice you outdoors to spend time taking advantage of the numerous terraces, sunbeds and benches to take in the view, and if feeling energetic, play boules, badminton or table tennis. BBQ's are available at your disposal as is the fire pit. The open night skies are perfect for stargazing and sighting shooting stars. Guests may also choose to socialise indoors and eat together, either downstairs in Les Tourterelles or alternatively, Les Chouettes. For young children, there is a little cabin, picnic bench and swings. Games are available both indoors and outdoors.
The high season generally starts from the 2nd - 3rd week of May by which time, the pool should be heated; finishing after the first week of September. Whilst we have a pool heating system, due to its size it takes a while to heat up, the speed of which much depends on the weather. Regardless, for those booking either side of the high season, you are welcome to use the pool though we can't predict that the pool will be up 26°C, our target.
The area is a paradise for wildlife being under a migratory route for cranes and many other birds such as nightingales, swallows and red kites. The flowers of the garden attract many butterflies so you do not need to go far to be embraced by nature!
The medieval town of Bar-sur-Aube is only 10 minutes drive with a number of supermarkets and boulangers. The beautiful city of Troyes is only 45 minutes drive, a must visit if you have time to spare to wander around the pedestrian roads looking at all the old wooden framed buildings and/or museums. The delights of the open, empty roads are a great attraction for cyclists as are the many tracks for those wanting to ramble. For the young and young at heart, Nigloland an amusement park set in a wooded valley is only 5 minutes away offering many rides. The first of three lakes is only 10 minutes away with guests bringing their motor boats to waterski or jet ski. Alternatively, relax and swim from the sandy beaches or lac Amance and lac Orient.
The connection to nature, the walks and the open roads for cycling/touring, makes this place a special haven. In addition, the property is well placed for water sports lovers, with water skiing and jet skiing only minutes away as well as kayaking along the River Aube.
For those living in towns or cities, being set beside a farm, this is a great place to discover the country life. Being close to the Burgundy region, some guests go off on day trips to explore the vineyards and towns of Chablis, Beaune and the Côte d'or, as well as the other Champagne producing regions.
