Hidden behind oak gates next to L'Eglise Notre Dame in Veniers, 3km from all the amenities of the medieval town of Loudun. La Maison Tumtum Arbre is a delightful self-catering gite for a maximum of 2 people.

Lives in Loudun, France
I moved to the Loire Valley at the end of 2016 with my husband Steve. After a career in healthcare I yearned to brew beer, make sausages and to try to grow things. Having recently graduated with a first class honours degree in Fine art Steve dreamt of being a full-time artist.........after all the renovations are completed!! Our gite at La Maison Tumtum Arbre was our first completed project in 2017 and we are now able to offer a further independent en-suite at 'The Piggeries', great for overnight stays or for extra accommodation for guests at the gite. During the 'lockdowns' of 2020 we have also been able to launch 'Thirsty Steves' our small on-site craft brewery creating beer with a distinctly 'English' flavour. So, 5 years on........I have started to grow things....and Steve is almost able to concentrate on his art!
