Accomodation  
A row of three former stables extends to the left of the property one of which houses the pump room another the wood and the third has a second fridge for drinks.
In compliance with the new French regulations, the pool is completely fenced with a child—safe door.
The lOm x 5m pool uses salt instead of chlorine and is much kinder to the skin and eyes and is a more pleasurable experience for swimming in.
   
Shallow steps lead down into the pool which is surrounded by a patio ideal for lounging, particularly as the garden faces due south and is a suntrap throughout the day. The pool is cleaned twice weekly and has the benefit of a summer cover to ensure the temperature is maintained and to prevent leaves falling in.

Attached to the rear of the cottage is a covered area, locally known as a ‘hangar', which gives relief from the sun and is wonderful to sit out under to barbecue during the evenings.
 
front of chez briant Opposite the hangar is another row of vine—covered outbuildings, surrounded by mature bamboo which rustles delightfully in the wind. These buildings are used for storage.
Behind the pool is the orchard with several plum and pear trees, which is a great place for rounders and other games.
From here it is an easy walk into Romagne for a drink in the barl, buy your baguettes from the bakery or visit the Co—op which is also open on Sunday mornings and visit the pizza man on a Sunday night. There is also a good restaurant which is open most lunchtimes and some evenings as well.
 

Chez Briant is situated in a row of three cottages, two of which have been combined to create one large cottage. The accommodation layout is ideal for families wishing to holiday together, who would still like a little independence from each other, as the upstairs of each cottage is not interconnecting, but accessible from the staircases on the ground floor.
