La Berthenoux is a small village 800 kilometres from the centre of the Netherlands. There is a café-restaurant, a Mairie, a post office, a playground with a jeu de boules court and an old church with a little square. At 5 kilometres distance there is a bakery and at 15 kilometres distance there is La Châtre with all kinds of shops and supermarkets. In the Vallée Noire, near the geometric centre of France, with its mainly agricultural culture, there is a friendly, rolling landscape where hills, woods and small villages predominate. Many day trips are possible, picnics at the edge of a lake, visits to larger cities, beautiful gardens, museums and castles. Beautiful and quiet routes can be driven by car or bicycle and many hiking trails. Or see and experience the life of George Sand by visiting her home.

    Wij hebben met ons hele gezin een heerlijke vakantie gehad bij Jan en Kee. Het zwembad was heerlijk bij deze tropische temperaturen, het huis comfortabel, smaakvol ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. De authenticiteit van de omgeving was indrukwekkend en de persoonlijke en respectvolle aanwezigheid van de gastvrouw en heer was erg prettig. Voor ons een top vakantie waar we nu met heimwee naar terugkijken. Marieke, Desmond, Anne, Ruben, Joke en Philippe

    Comment from Jan en Kee van der Zanden

    Beste Joke en Philippe,
    Dank jullie wel voor de leuke reactie op de vakantie in L"Étoile. wij denken er ook nog steeds met veel plezier aan terug. Het was een feest om jullie te mogen ontvangen en zijn blij dat jullie het ook zo ervaren hebben. Alleen die piano hé, maar we doen ons best om hem in orde te krijgen.
    Veel succes voor allemaal en nog meer groeten uit een nog steeds zonnig La Berthenoux,
    Jan, Kee en Jolie

    Kee en Jan zijn uitstekende gastvrouw/heer. Wij hebben ons prima vermaakt in het huis dat van alle mogelijkheden is voorzien. Het zwembad maakt een verblijf in La Berthenoux compleet. Met onze kleinkinderen konden we tafeltennissen en sjoelen bij wat minder weer.
    La Bertthenoux is een plek voor de rustzoekers. In de buurt kun je goed wandelen en fietsen, cultureel vermaak is er in bescheiden mate. Kleine uitrstekende restaurants in de buurt waar je eet voor een prijs waarvoor je in Amsterdam alleen een voorgerecht krijgt. Aanrader dus.

    Comment from Jan en Kee van der Zanden

    Jan en Yvonne, dank voor jullie leuke en mooie reactie. Voor ons zijn de weken voorbij gevlogen en wij denken met veel plezier terug aan jullie, inclusief de kinderen, kleinkinderen en de vrienden die kwamen logeren.
    Groet aan allemaal, Jan en Kee

    Heel fijn bij Jan en Kee. Comfortabel huis met ruimte, ruim geëquipeerde keuken, vele badkamers en een geweldig zwembad. Welkom gevoeld en tegelijkertijd werd privacy gerespecteerd. Boven verwachting! Omgeving lijkt op Frankrijk van vroeger. Aanrader!

    Comment from Jan en Kee van der Zanden

    Fijn dat jullie het zo naar jullie zin gehad hebben! Het was voor ons ook erg leuk om jullie als onze gasten te mogen ontvangen, Jan en Kee

Further remarks

Pets are welcome, we have a dog Jolie and chickens. For dogs there is a basket ready, if you want.
The swimming pool of 10x5 m2 with a semi-circular staircase attached, is regularly checked for water quality and is secured according to the strict standards of the French government. It is completely surrounded by a lockable fence. Around the pool is a terrace with chairs, parasol and shelter.
In the fully enclosed garden there is plenty of room to play; badminton, darts, table tennis, jouer aux boules or laze about in the shade of the fruit trees.
The chickens also provide an occasional egg.
Because of the traffic on the French roads in the summer season, we rent from Sunday to Sunday, so you will have less trouble with the traffic jams.
You can use the internet with us.
