About us

Jolene and her family are originally from the south coast of the United Kingdom and in 2020 decided to make a permanent move to France to our holiday home following many beautiful family holidays in the country.

We moved to Le Pommier in 2021 following months of searching for somewhere where we could live and work and set about renovating our family home.We now wish to share our little slice of French magic and have created two gites within the grounds which we hope our guests will enjoy as much as we do.

The gite - Le Petite Pommier was initially opened in 2022 for friends and family and to enable us to continue to start building our brand and making improvements, which included building the shared swimming pool. Now the gite is open for bookings for all and we continue renovations on the second gite with this opening in 2025.

We are passionate about sustainability and aim to make our gites as economical and reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible. This will be a long process but we have started with ensuring that all the lights within the gite are LED where we can, the provision of ecological products in the kitchen and bathroom and we encourage our guests to minimise their household waste during their stay by recycling and composting as much as possible. To support our guests with this we have dedicated bins for this - further information on this is included in the guest information pack.

Measures to reduce water consumption

At Gites de Pommier we try to support our guests in minimising water consumption during their stay, especially during the summer months when the water levels across France can drop considerably and provide tips on how to achieve this within our Guest Information pack.
