1Le Manoir ConfolensFOR SALE
2Le Manoir , our home
- Welcome to our home le manoir built between
1490 and 1520 in the town of Confolens. - The house was bought in the 1950s by my wife's
mother and has remained as a family house ever
since. - We also have an attached but self-contained annex
which has been used as business premises. - The house, over the years, has been of great
intrigue for our children and grandchildren due
to its history and many fascinating rooms,
including the chapel in the tower. - Today, the property is just far too large for the
two of us so consequently, we have decided to
sell the house and move to our summer home at La
Palmyre near to the resort of La Rochelle. - I hope you enjoy the tour of our home.
