First ever self-catering gite complex in France to offset carbon emissions. :: 2nd June, 2007
Les Cygnes is a luxurious complex of 3 self-catering Gites in the Poitou-Charentes region of France, with more than 5 acres of land. A portion of this land is to be used for the planting of indigenous trees to help negate the carbon emissions involved in travel to and from Les Cygnes. Visitors will be encouraged to purchase trees, which can be planted on-site, or asked to contribute to charities involved in Carbon Footprint offsetting.
Les Cygnes is fully committed to helping protect the environment.
"We want guests to enjoy themselves whilst helping to secure the planet's future."

Named after the pear tree that grows on the wall outside, this converted stone barn has all the space needed for a large holiday party. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms with toilets, fully-equipped kitchen, living room and dining area. French doors lead to the sunken terrace with patio table, chairs and barbeque and Les Cygnes' gardens. With 2 other gites on site we are perfect for the large party accommodating up to 24 people.
