Deni and Doug offer you a warm welcome to their Grand Designs manor house.
Set in the heart of France's least known Department, namely La Creuse, Chez Jallot offers peace and tranquillity in luxury accommodation. There is a choice of bed and breakfast with evening meals and self-catering holiday homes. This imposing house was recently rebuilt after destruction 73 years ago, and now presents guests with a delightful experience, combining modern facilities with bourgeois splendour in this beautiful old country manor.
The gardens offer many areas in which to relax, explore, mingle with other guests, to enjoy a quiet glass of wine and a good book. The surrounding areas offer unlimited walking, cycling and exploring and just a short drive away there are beaches and boating on perhaps the largest lake in France. The countryside, towns and villages around offer an interesting choice of activities to really enjoy a holiday in the area.
Chez Jallot was featured in Channel 4's Grand Designs Abroad, presented by Kevin McCloud. This UK TV programme is now broadcast throughout the world and visitors often enjoy a multinational evening around the dining table.

They've proved that through sheer dogged optimism it's possible to tackle almost anything. And what I have learned is that building abroad isn't about filling in forms or learning to speak the language fluently. It';s about waking up every morning and reminding yourself what it was that inspired you to come here in the first place."
