The Pool and Summer House
The stunning chlorine-free 14x7metre flood-lit pool is

Designed to be a swimming and relaxation pleasure, the
pool is also alarmed when not in use and meets European and French security
norms.
At the Pool and Summer House there are a host of
sports facilities including:-
The Estate
Around the fifty acre Le Ruisseau estate there
are wonderful areas to explore including walking trails, old shepherd’s
crofts, ruined cottages, picnic glades, the forest flora and fauna and
the little lake where you can go boating.
Through the length of the Estate runs a gentle stream,
clear and cool, where you can dangle your feet in the water and watch
the dragonflies dart among the orchids and rushes.
Wildlife abounds, including heron, deer, rabbits and
hare and, on occasion, wild boar.
