The Experience
Bask by the pool in the sun-trap garden. In winter, roast chestnuts by the fire. Two doors down from the medieval bridge, in a village that inspired Corot and Courbet, this little house sits tucked into a historic row.
Up under the eaves the bedroom is tiny, though the bathroom is large, as are the living rooms below. You could sleep four children in the sitting room (with a sofabed, a pull-out bed, and a curtain dividing the stairwell). Cook as you chat: the kitchen is light and lovely.
Walking paths abound; little shops, galleries and restaurants are a short stroll. Don’t miss the Romanesque church and its frescoes, or the minute chapel with its ‘miracle spring’. Saint Ceneri-Le-Gerei is filled with history and legend.

Location
The neighbourhood
The picturesque bridge marks the Sarthe/Orne border, and the area, steeped in mythology, is unusual for France. Nestling in a loop of the river, the old village houses cluster round an 11th-century church. The lovely city of Alencon (15km), lace-making capital of France, is a must-visit, as is the charming 14th-century Chateau de Carrouges, a half hour drive. Back in Saint Ceneri-Le-Gerei are the stunning garden ‘rooms’ of Les Jardins de la Mansonière.
Introducing
Alexis Zajac
Alexis is a Le Mans native whose work takes him around the world. He now lives in Le Mans with his young family, is helpful, friendly and speaks excellent English. If he cannot be around to greet guests, he leaves keys with a keyholder. You can call him at any time for help.
A wonderful little bolthole for two adults for discovering a relatively hidden gem in Sarthe. The back courtyard and pool would be very hard to pull yourself away from in summer. A wonderful place to unwind, with an incredibly picturesque village just a few steps away. I would like to set up an easel along the river bank and try to paint the view that Corot did.
