The Experience
Behind wrought-iron gates in quiet Aubepierre-sur-Aube, a pair of delightful cottages with revealed stone façades and walled gardens – La Tonnellerie sleeps four, and L’Entrepot is for five (plus another child) – come as a big group and take them together. Communal rooms in each are pretty and open-plan, mixing original features – flagged floors and raw beams, stone fireplaces – with wood-burners, coffee tables and comfy sofas. In the smaller of the two, La Tonnellerie, find one twin/double on the first floor and the master at the top; L’Entrepot has its double and two twins on the first floor. Warm friendly owners Tim and Sarah, whose holiday home is here too, are sticklers for detail, so count on fine linen and fresh towels. Best of all are the gardens. Sunny days mean lazy hours in your own private garden (entrance through the back door of each gite) or by the walled pool, flanked by trees and shared by both cottages. Stroll across crisp, secluded lawns to the wilder meadows beyond, where you’ll find an orchard (if it’s ripe, help yourself), a gigantic kids climbing frame, a grass badminton court and a fascinating old dovecote. Bike or hike the wooded, rolling winelands of Burgundy and Champagne, or drive 30 minutes to Langres or Chaumont for museums, markets and cathedrals.

‘Wonderful place to holiday at as two families. Being 3 generations of the same family, it gave us the space we needed to chill and relax separately but at the same time spend time having fun together at the pool and playing games in the large garden and grounds’.

We had the most wonderful stay at Le Domaine Richot this summer. The quiet village of Aubepierre was the perfect antedote to our hectic family life with beautiful walks and great cycling (for the novice and professional). Sarah, Tim and their family were wonderful hosts providing guidance on things to do and places to see. For a family with teenagers there were various activities nearby (high ropes, water park etc) or for those wanting to relax the gardens/pool were the perfect place to unwind. Our accomodation L'Entrepot had eveything we might need and we thoroughly recommend a visit!

Our family (3 adults, 2 kids + dog) stayed at L'Entrepot for the Easter holidays and had a lovely time. The house was well equipped, clean and very comfortable - a real home from home, full of rustic French charm. The large gardens were safe, well maintained and provided plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. The pool area looked lovely tho a bit too chilly in April to make full use of it. Set in a quiet village with lots of river & woodland walks on the doorstep, and quiet roads for cycling. Lots to see and do within an hours drive, would love to go back.

I fully agree with the other comments - probably the best self-catering I've stayed in over our last 6 years of staying in France - and a big hit with our 11 year old daughter. We stayed in La Tonellerie - very clean, peaceful and charming, with constant hot water and a good supply of thick towels! Some fantastic cultural sites to visit nearby - Troyes, Chaumont, Langres, Fontenay, etc... plus Lake Liez for pedal boats. The village is very friendly, restaurants in Arc en Barois are just right - relaxed with good local food. Above all Sarah and Tim are incredibly helpful and solicitous.

Location
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Sarah Groves
- Historic towns of Troyes, Chaumont, Langres, Beaune and Dijon are well worth visiting, especially on their buzzing market days.
- Four raised vegetable beds in the Pigeonnier field supply a mixture of tomatoes, salads and courgettes. Visitors are encouraged to use and “re-sow” after they have harvested and are also invited to help themselves to the raspberries mid summer!
- Plenty of Brocante markets all summer long in local villages. Always authentic bargains to be had.
- In France's latest National Park, 'Parc National de forêts en Champagne et Bourgogne', it is an area of natural beauty. The cycling for road bikes and mountain bikes is fabulous in the area.. Such quiet roads and tracks, and beautiful rolling countryside.
- Guests can forage for ceps and truffles in the forests during Autumn and then spend relaxing evenings by the wood burner.
- River running through Aubepierre, from the source of the Seine, offers a delightful alternative to the outdoor pool. The plunge pool ('empêlement') near the weir at the end of the village is a favourite place for locals to cool off during hot summers.

Introducing
Sarah Groves
Sarah and her family live in the Great Barn next door to The Stables, and you're welcome to share the garden with them. She’ll leave you everything you need for your first breakfast and basics for cooking in the kitchen. At their French place, Le Domaine Richot, you’ll have friendly caretaker Catherine on hand if you need anything. She lives nearby and can deliver croissants for your first morning too.
We stayed at L’Entrepot for a week in August. What a relaxing and tranquil place to be in and get away from it all! The house is well-equipped and very comfortable, with the grounds full of activities for children to enjoy, including a wonderful pool area. Tim and Sarah are perfect hosts, with great hints and tips for things to do and enjoy in the immediate and surrounding areas. It’s a testament to the place that we managed not to get bored even when, unusually, the weather didn’t cooperate. Highly recommend!
