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.

We have just had a lovely family holiday at these two properties. The houses are very attractive, have comfortable beds and the kitchens are well equipped. The secure shared pool is in a large garden with plenty of space for a game of boules, pirates on the climbing frame or relaxing. The village is in a pretty rural valley with lovely views. Most of the large towns are about one hour's drive from the property. The grandchildren had a great time and the grandparents managed to have the odd glass of wine in their own space. The owners Sarah and Tim are lovely and very helpful if needed

We had a fabulous week staying here! The house was stunning and the pool and gardens were heavenly, the kids were so happy running about all week and Tim and Sarah were incredibly generous and accommodating! The local area was superb for cycling with and without the kids with easy tracks on empty roads and paths, and challenging off road rides too for the more adventurous! Dijon was an hours drive away, and well worth the trip, although Langres was lovely too! We loved the midday baguette & patisserie van that came to the door daily in time for lunch in the garden- who could ask for more?

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.
Probably the best gîte we have ever stayed in. Wonderfully clean and well presented on arrival, lovely location (as part of an estate, all of which was available to us), superbly helpful owners, and located in a lovely village. Not mainstream France, but all the better for that: bucolic, green and relaxing. Would stay there again in a flash.
