Les Jardins de la Guilde is located in the heart of the Indre region, in the small village of Les Héronnières. It was here that Muriel bought a former livestock farm and set up home with her fruit, vegetables and her desire to get closer to plants.
During your stay, discover a verdant estate close to the châteaux of the Loire and Beauval Zoo, and sample the farm's delicious produce as well as a selection of local products.
You'll be able to sleep in your cosy Tiny House in a lovely wooded park with adorable sheep.
