located at the side of Eric and Maries house, just to the front of the cottage so is easily accessed It has an alarm to conform to 
the French regulations but it is not enclosed which may be a concern to parents of very young children. It is not often used by 
Eric and Marie themselves as they are very busy, but it is used occasionally by their daughter so it is not totally for the exclusive 
use of the cottage guests. Its location is in front of the Cartauds outdoor eating area, they are happy for you to use the pool area 
even when they are eating but please be polite and friendly and considerate with regards to noise.  Eric is a viticulteur, he makes 
wine, Pineau (the local tipple and Cognac) he has a small 'shop' on the other side of his house where you can taste his produce 
and if you are friendly and chatty you may even get an exclusive visit into his small wine making area.
