My name is Gilles, and I fell in love with Maison Garesché, an 18th-century residence that immediately captivated me with its history, architecture, and the peaceful atmosphere that surrounds it. I chose to restore it with great care, bringing back its original charm while adding the modern comforts I appreciate when I travel myself. Welcoming guests here is a real pleasure for me. I enjoy introducing visitors to Nieulle-sur-Seudre, its marshlands, its oyster-farming ports, and the authentic spirit of the Charente-Maritime region. I know the best local spots — restaurants, producers, quiet walks, more secluded beaches — and I’m always happy to share recommendations based on what you’re looking for. I remain available whenever you need assistance, while giving you the privacy you need to fully enjoy the place. My goal is simple: for you to feel at ease here, at your own pace, as if the house were yours for the duration of your stay.
