There's a particular kind of quiet you only find in this corner of France. Standing on the private terrace on a Sunday morning, coffee in hand, you hear nothing but birdsong and the faint rustle of leaves from the garden's edge. No traffic. No sirens. Just the deep, unhurried exhale of rural Limousin. That's what this two-bedroom house in Rochechouart offers — and once you've felt it, you'll understand why people come here and never quite want to leave. Rochechouart sits in the Haute-Vienne department, about as authentically French as a town can get without being on a tourist poster. It's built on the rim of a 200-million-year-old meteorite impact crater — yes, an actual crater — and the local Musée de la Préhistoire documents this remarkable geological history in ways that'll have even skeptical visitors lingering longer than planned. The medieval château dominates the hilltop, and on market days the square below it fills with vendors selling Limousin beef, local walnuts, and cheeses that have no business being as good as they are. This isn't the manicured, postcard-perfect Dordogne that gets all the magazine coverage. It's better. It's real. The house itself is a compact, single-story bungalow — 56 square metres of well-proportioned living that gets the essentials exactly right. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and four rooms total, arranged in a way that feels practical rather than cramped. The kitchen-diner is the heart of the home: a proper gathering space with a fireplace where the whole point is to sit around it on October evenings with a bottle of local wine and absolutely nowhere to be. The living room opens to views across the private garden, and the terrace catches the afternoon light in a way that makes you reth ... click here to read more

Picture a Tuesday morning in summer: you step out of your front door, still holding a coffee, and within three minutes you've nodded to the boulanger on Rue du Marché, bought tomatoes that were on the vine yesterday, and are back in your courtyard under a lime tree before the morning gets warm. That's not a fantasy — that's just Tuesday in Chef-Boutonne. This five-bedroom townhouse sits right in the middle of it all, and at under €100,000, it's one of those rare finds that makes you stop scrolling. Chef-Boutonne is a small market town in the Deux-Sèvres department of Poitou-Charentes, the kind of place that French people from the cities quietly buy into while property prices elsewhere have gone sideways. It sits in a gentle limestone valley about 40 minutes southeast of Niort, roughly an hour and a half from Poitiers, and about two and a half hours from Bordeaux if you take the N10. La Rochelle — with its Atlantic beaches, its old harbour, and its year-round flights from the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands — is under an hour and a half away. The practical reality for international buyers is strong: fly into La Rochelle or Poitiers, pick up a rental car, and you're here before lunch. The house itself sits on three levels and gives you 174 square metres to work with — serious floor area for a family or for anyone thinking about rental income. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into a living and dining room that gets good afternoon light, with a kitchen alongside and a ground-floor bedroom complete with its own shower room and WC. That ground-floor suite is worth noting: it works well for elderly relatives or guests who'd rather avoid stairs, and for rental purposes, it functions almost as a self-contained annexe.

On a quiet Tuesday morning in Charroux, you can walk out onto your wooden terrace with a coffee and hear almost nothing. A church bell in the distance. Maybe a tractor somewhere beyond the stone walls. The air carries that particular mix of cut grass and old limestone that you only get in the Vienne countryside, and the view out over the surrounding hills doesn't have a single billboard, rooftop antenna, or modern intrusion to break it. This is what €130,780 buys you in one of France's most overlooked medieval villages — and once you've spent a weekend here, you'll struggle to understand why more people haven't discovered it already. Charroux sits in the heart of Poitou-Charentes, a region that most international buyers race through on their way to the Dordogne or the Vendée coast without realizing what they're passing. That's your advantage. The village itself is classified as one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France — a designation earned by fewer than 160 communes in the entire country — and it earns that status honestly, with its 11th-century abbey ruins, cobblestone lanes barely wide enough for a Citroën, and a Saturday market where the same families have been selling goat cheese and walnuts for generations. The centre is a five-minute walk from this house. Not a vague "close to amenities" five minutes — a genuine, flat, pleasant walk past honey-coloured stone walls. The house itself has been fully renovated and is genuinely ready to move into, which matters more than it sounds in this part of France where "good condition" can sometimes be a generous interpretation. Here, the work has been done properly: double glazing throughout, electric shutters, and — crucially — an air-to-water heat pump system that keeps ene ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Civray starts with a sound you won't hear in Paris or London — the unhurried clatter of market stalls being set up along the town square, vendors arranging towers of local goat's cheese, bunches of sunflowers, and baskets of walnuts from the Charente countryside. From this house, you can walk there in under ten minutes. That's not a selling point dressed up as a lifestyle — it's just Tuesday. Or Saturday. Or any day you choose. Civray sits in the southern tip of the Vienne department, in a region that most international buyers haven't discovered yet — which is precisely why it still feels real. The Charente River curves lazily around the edge of town, and the surrounding landscape is the kind of unhurried, rolling farmland that makes you slow down involuntarily. If you've been looking at overpriced Dordogne villages or the increasingly crowded Lot, the Vienne is quietly offering something comparable for a fraction of the cost. This house is a proper maison bourgeoise — the kind of solid, high-ceilinged French townhouse that was built to last centuries and very much has. At 103 square metres, it's not enormous, but every room breathes. The ground floor draws you in through a living room lined with decorative wood panelling that catches the afternoon light in a way that feels almost theatrical — warm, amber, like the inside of a French film you can't quite name. That room flows into a lounge with an ornamental fireplace, and beyond it, a fitted modern kitchen that somehow manages to feel at home alongside all the period character. French doors off the kitchen open directly onto the terrace, so summer dinners happen naturally outside — a carafe of Haut-Poitou rosé, the garden going gold in the evening ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Saturday morning in early June, the air carrying the faint sweetness of flowering linden trees, a rooster somewhere in the distance, and nothing but the sound of your own footsteps on old stone as you walk across the courtyard to figure out what this barn could one day become. That's the kind of quiet that Clussais-la-Pommeraie deals in. It's not dramatic. It's not performant. It's just deeply, genuinely peaceful — the kind that people from Paris or London or Amsterdam spend years trying to find and then overpay for somewhere more famous. This is Poitou-Charentes, one of France's most underrated rural regions, sitting right in the soft belly of the country between the Loire Valley to the north and the Cognac country to the south. The Deux-Sèvres department doesn't have the international name recognition of Provence or the Dordogne, and that's precisely why a stone property complex on roughly 2,400 square metres of land with a courtyard, a garden, a 240-square-metre barn, and multiple outbuildings is available for €70,000. Let's talk about what that number actually means. For the price of a decent second-hand car in London or a semester of private school fees in Switzerland, you're acquiring a genuine piece of rural France — original stone construction, exposed beams, a fireplace still intact, an attic that adds another 46 square metres of potential living space above the 90-square-metre ground floor. The property needs full renovation, and that's the point. It's a blank canvas, not a compromised one. Someone hasn't already ripped out the character and replaced it with laminate flooring and recessed lighting. The bones are there, waiting. The barn alone changes the arithmetic of what's possible here. At ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in La Bazouge-du-Désert sounds like this: a wood fire ticking quietly in the kitchen insert, the smell of coffee cutting through cool Breton air, and birdsong coming in through a window that looks out over 462 square metres of your own garden. No neighbours at your elbow. Just countryside, quiet, and the kind of unhurried morning that most people only manage once a year on holiday — except here, it would be yours whenever you wanted it. This compact stone country house sits in the northern Ille-et-Vilaine, the oldest corner of Brittany, in a rural commune that most visitors driving toward Saint-Malo never bother to slow down for. That's exactly the point. At €54,800, it's one of those rare entry points into genuine French rural property ownership — the kind of deal that doesn't appear often in a department where coastal prices have been climbing steadily and even inland villages are attracting more attention from buyers priced out of Normandy. The ground floor is functional and liveable right now. A kitchen with a wood-burning insert fireplace anchors the space — this is the room you'll be in most, and in October when the temperature drops and the trees turn, it earns its place. The living room flows from there, with one bedroom and a shower room/WC completing the footprint at around 60 square metres of living space. It's honest, not fussy. Good condition means you can move straight in, run it as a bolt-hole, rent it out short-term, or use it as a base while you plan what comes next. What comes next, potentially, is the attic. The first floor is an unconverted space of approximately 65 square metres — structurally there but requiring modifications to bring it into full use. That's a significant canvas ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning to the faint toll of church bells drifting across the rooftops of Brux, pulling on a linen shirt, and walking two minutes to the local boulangerie for a still-warm baguette before the rest of the village stirs. That's the pace of life here. Quiet, unhurried, and real. This four-bedroom renovated stone house in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes isn't just a property — it's a doorway into one of rural France's most genuinely liveable corners, at a price that makes it one of the smartest second home opportunities in the country right now. The house itself pulls you in from the street. The traditional stone façade gives nothing away — you have to step through the front door to understand what's been done here. Whoever renovated this place clearly loved it. Exposed stone walls run through the open-plan living and dining room, where timber beams cross the ceiling overhead and wide wooden floorboards run underfoot. A wood-burning stove anchors the room, and on a cool October evening with the fire lit and a bottle of local Charentais Pineau opened, you'll understand exactly why people fall for French country houses and never quite recover. The kitchen is the kind that makes you actually want to cook. A central island, generous worktop space, well-thought-out storage, and a direct door out to the courtyard — so you can hand plates through to guests without navigating a corridor. The materials are authentic: stone, wood, solid fittings. Nothing feels like a shortcut. On the ground floor, there's a bedroom with its own modern shower room. For families with older parents or guests who can't manage stairs, this is genuinely useful. Upstairs, three further bedrooms hold onto the build ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in the hamlet of Saint-Romain, you'd hear almost nothing. A wood pigeon somewhere in the oaks. Maybe the distant clang of church bells drifting over from Charroux, that perfectly preserved medieval village ten minutes down the road where market traders set up their stalls beside the ruins of a Benedictine abbey. That stillness is the point. This is rural Vienne at its most unhurried — and this renovated farmhouse sits right in the middle of it. The property is a former working farmhouse that's been brought back to life without losing its bones. Stone walls, generous room proportions, the kind of building that took decades to settle and now feels entirely solid underfoot. At 148 square metres across two floors, it has real breathing room. The ground floor arranges itself practically: a living kitchen that opens directly onto a covered pergola — your default setting for every meal between May and October — a separate lounge for cooler evenings, and a bedroom with its own shower room and toilet. That ground-floor bedroom is a detail worth pausing on. It makes the house genuinely work for mixed-generation groups, guests with mobility considerations, or owners who want the option to use the upstairs rooms purely as a private retreat. Head up the stairs and the character shifts. The first floor has the slightly improvised warmth you only get in converted agricultural buildings — skylights cut into the roof, dormer windows framing sections of the surrounding countryside, ceiling lines that aren't quite parallel. There's a large double bedroom, another bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and toilet, an additional room that could easily become a study or a fourth sleeping space, and a separate WC.

Stand at the kitchen door on a July morning, coffee in hand, and look out across half an acre of enclosed garden as the Périgord hills roll away in every direction. The swimming pool catches the early light. Somewhere down the lane, the boulangerie on the village square is pulling its first trays. This is Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac — and this five-bedroom house on its quiet edge might be one of the most honest opportunities left in the Dordogne. Honest, because it doesn't pretend to be finished. The 1960s-built house, spread across 167 square metres of living space, needs updating throughout — new bathrooms, fresh interiors, modernised finishes. But the bones are solid, the layout is generous, and the plot is extraordinary. At just over 2,300 square metres, the fully enclosed garden wraps around the property with far-reaching views that no renovation budget can buy. The eight-by-four-metre pool and paved terrace are already in place. You're not starting from scratch; you're putting your own stamp on something with real foundations. The ground floor sets the tone. The sitting room stretches to 20 square metres, anchored by a stone fireplace fitted with a wood burner — the kind of thing you fire up in October when the chestnut trees along the D6 start turning amber and the evenings get that particular Dordogne chill. Original wooden floors run through the sitting room, dining room, and kitchen, giving the whole floor a warmth that modern builds rarely manage. The 16-square-metre dining room is big enough for the kind of meals that go on for three hours. The kitchen opens directly onto the garden. There's a ground-floor WC and a study that could just as easily become a snug or a work-from-home room. Upstairs, the ... click here to read more

Picture yourself on a Sunday morning in late September, mug of coffee in hand, standing at the edge of 6,000 square metres of your own woodland in the Landes. No road noise. No neighbours. Just the creak of old oak, the faint whistle of a bird you can't quite name, and a natural spring quietly doing its thing in the corner of the plot. That's what life at this 18th-century Landaise farmhouse actually feels like — and at €119,000, it's not a fantasy. It's available right now. Built in the architectural tradition of the Landes region, this single-storey stone farmhouse carries the kind of bones that renovation enthusiasts dream about. The 76-square-metre interior includes two bedrooms, a living room anchored by a period fireplace that's clearly seen a few hundred winters, a bathroom, and a kitchen space ready to be fitted to your own specification. Attached to the main house is a 37-square-metre barn — sound structure, full of potential — that could become a guest studio, a workshop, a covered outdoor dining space, or simply extra storage for bikes and canoes. The decisions are yours. That's rather the point. The property needs work. There's no dressing that up. Renovation quotes are available on request, and buyers with a clear-eyed view of what's involved will find this an unusually honest opportunity. What you're really purchasing is a historic Landes farmhouse at a fraction of what restored examples in this corridor fetch, a plot of wooded land with a genuine natural spring, and a location three minutes from Saint-Geours-d'Auribat — a village with a grocery store, a bakery, a preschool, and a bus stop. The fundamentals are already there. Poyanne sits in the southern Landes, in the vast Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. The barn swallows are already busy above the terrace, and through the kitchen window you catch the faint smell of bread baking from the boulangerie down in the valley. You've got coffee on, the garden is drenched in that particular pale gold that only central France does in summer, and you're not in any kind of hurry. That's the daily rhythm this cottage in La Châtre-Langlin drops you into — and once you've felt it, it's very hard to give up. This is a solid, well-kept three-bedroom house that sits on just over half an acre of land in the gentle hill country of the Creuse-Indre border zone, a part of France that still operates on its own quiet frequency. The habitable space runs to 87 square metres across two floors — compact enough to be manageable as a second home, but genuinely liveable for a family. On the ground floor, a 22-square-metre kitchen and a 21-square-metre living room give you real space to move around in, not the cramped layouts that plague so many rural French renovations. There's also a shower room, a storage room, and a 14-square-metre cellar — ideal for wine, naturally. Head upstairs and the landing opens onto three bedrooms of 10, 11, and 10 square metres respectively, plus a bathroom. Nothing is pokey. The proportions make sense. The outside space is the real conversation-starter. 2,354 square metres of land wraps around the property, and to the rear sits a generously divided barn — two separate sections, full of potential. Whether you want to park cars and store garden equipment or eventually convert the space into a studio, games room, or guest accommodation, the footprint is already there. The sunny terrace directly behind the house is south-facing enough to earn its keep from ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Châteauneuf-du-Faou sounds like this: the church bell on Place de l'Église counts nine slow strokes, a boulanger two streets over pulls fresh kouign-amann from the oven, and the smell drifts right through your open kitchen window. This is not a fantasy. This is an ordinary Sunday at this five-bedroom village property on the banks of the Aulne river, tucked into one of inland Brittany's most quietly remarkable villages. What's on offer here is genuinely unusual — two fully adjoining houses that share a wall and connect internally, sitting side by side in the very centre of the village with everything you'd need within a short walk. Together they deliver five bedrooms, two kitchens, two entrance halls, and flexible living spaces that very few properties at this price point can match. At €123,500, you're not buying a compromise. You're buying optionality. The first house sets the tone. Step through the entrance hall and you're in a living and dining room with a fireplace — the kind of room that earns its keep in October when Finistère mists roll in off the Montagnes Noires. From here, the layout flows into a kitchen with a shower area, and a connected sitting room that links directly through to the second house. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under the slate roof, quiet and cool even in July. The second house mirrors this logic in its own way: a ground floor with its own entrance, kitchen, shower room, toilet, and a bedroom, then two more bedrooms above. There's also an attic space — unconverted, which means it's yours to shape. A home office, a studio, a guest suite with dormer windows looking out over the village rooftops. The bones are right there. Outside, a landscaped enclosed garden gives you somewher ... click here to read more

Stand in the kitchen doorway on a September morning and the air already smells like pine resin warming in the sun. The woods on your 6000 square metres start just beyond the old stone wall, and apart from a woodpigeon somewhere up in the canopy, nothing breaks the silence. This is Poyanne — a scattering of farmhouses and lanes in the Landes département where the Atlantic forest rolls on so far it starts to feel like its own country. And sitting at the edge of it all, waiting for someone with vision and a willingness to roll up their sleeves, is a proper 18th-century Landaise farmhouse going for €119,000. Let's be honest about what this is. It's a renovation project — the kind that demands decisions, budgets, and patience. But it's also the kind of opportunity that comes along rarely in this part of France, where agricultural heritage properties on wooded plots of this size don't stay on the market long. The single-story layout covers 76 sqm: two bedrooms, a living room anchored by a period fireplace that's the real architectural heart of the house, a bathroom, and a kitchen space ready to be fitted out exactly how you want it. The bones are there. What you're buying is the framework for something genuinely personal — not a developer's idea of a holiday home, but yours. Attached to the main house is a 37 sqm barn. That's not an afterthought. Converted thoughtfully, it could become a guest suite, a studio, a home office, or simply generous storage for bikes and surf gear. Renovation quotes are available on request, so you won't be working blind from day one. The land itself deserves its own mention. Six thousand square metres of wooded terrain with no overlooking neighbours in any direction, and — this is the detail tha ... click here to read more

Step off the D roads of the Orne on a Tuesday morning and you'll hear it before you see it—the low rumble of market stalls being set up in Argentan's Place du Marché, vendors calling out prices for unpasteurized Camembert, strings of dried saucisson swinging in the autumn breeze. This is the Normandy that doesn't end up on postcards, and that's precisely why it's worth paying attention to. This 192 m² farmhouse on 5.5 hectares of land sits at the edge of a countryside that moves at its own unhurried pace, a place where a Saturday morning can disappear into a long walk across open meadow and a lunch that stretches into late afternoon. The property itself—main house plus a collection of outbuildings spread across the grounds—is honest in what it offers. The principal dwelling runs to approximately 92 m² and holds five rooms: two bedrooms, a living area, an office, and enough space to start sketching out what your version of a Norman farmhouse looks like. The bones are good. The walls are thick limestone, the kind that keeps rooms cool in July and holds a woodfire's warmth well into a February evening. Renovation work is needed, and that's actually the interesting part. You're not inheriting someone else's taste. You're starting with a structure that has real character—exposed timber, original proportions—and you get to decide what comes next. The outbuildings are where the possibilities multiply. Depending on your vision and local planning permissions, the range of what's workable here is wide. Convert the largest barn into a gîte and you've created a secondary income stream that practically runs itself through the summer high season, when Normandy draws history travelers tracing the D-Day sites at Utah, Omaha, and Sword ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Saint-Thois, the only thing you hear is the wind moving through the oak trees at the edge of the garden and the occasional crow somewhere over the fields. The kitchen smells of coffee and yesterday's crêpes. Through the window, nearly 4,800 square metres of land stretch out in front of you — yours, all of it — and the sky above Finistère is doing that particular grey-blue thing it does when the Atlantic is close enough to feel. This is inland Brittany at its most honest. Saint-Thois sits in the Arrée hills, one of the most quietly compelling parts of France that most people fly over on their way to somewhere louder. That's precisely the point. The Monts d'Arrée, Brittany's ancient low mountain range, rise just to the north. The Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique — over 172,000 hectares of moorland, forest, and river valley — is essentially your backyard. You don't have to drive far to find the Yeun Elez boglands or the rocky summit of Roc'h Ruz, where on a clear afternoon you can see clear to the coast. The house itself is a genuinely interesting mix: old Breton stone walls on the ground floor married to more contemporary construction above, giving the interior a warmth and texture that new builds simply can't replicate. Step inside and the entrance opens naturally into a generous living space where a fitted kitchen runs alongside a sitting room centred on a wood insert fireplace. On grey November evenings — and there will be grey November evenings, this is Brittany — that fireplace earns its place completely. There's also a large room on the ground floor currently used as a games room, which could just as easily become a studio, a home office, a proper dining room, or a ground-floor bedroom ... click here to read more

Step out onto the front terrace with a coffee in hand on a Tuesday morning in September, and the Vézère Valley spreads out below you in that particular golden light the Dordogne does better than almost anywhere else in France. The walnut trees are starting to drop. Someone two streets down is baking. The cliffs behind you still hold the night's cool air. This is what 115,000 euros buys you here — not just a stone cottage, but a specific, irreplaceable foothold in one of the most historically layered corners of rural France. Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil sits at the confluence of the Vézère and Beune rivers, and it carries that geographical confidence like a village that knows exactly what it is. This is the self-styled capital of prehistory, and the claim is not idle boasting — the Cro-Magnon rock shelter is literally at the edge of town, and the Musée National de Préhistoire, rebuilt into the limestone cliff face above the main street, draws serious visitors from across Europe year-round. Walk to the Font-de-Gaume cave with its original polychrome bison paintings (one of the last sites in the world where you can still stand in front of authentic Paleolithic art), and you'll understand why UNESCO gave this entire valley World Heritage status. Living here, even part-time, means all of that is just a twenty-minute stroll. The cottage itself is perched on the hillside with the kind of elevated position that means you catch the morning light early and the evening breeze reliably. Stone walls that have stood for well over a century have been carefully renovated — not stripped and sanitised, but worked with. The character is intact: the rough-cut limestone exterior, the proportions that belong entirely to this part of the Péri ... click here to read more

Picture a Tuesday morning in late June: you're at the twice-weekly market in Montguyon, five minutes down the road, picking up a wedge of goat's cheese from the local fromagère and a bunch of sunflowers that cost less than a coffee back home. You drive back through a hamlet so quiet the loudest thing you'll hear is a woodpigeon in the oak at the back of the garden. That's Saint-Martin-d'Ary. And that's what owning this place actually feels like. Set between Montguyon and Neuvicq in the southern stretch of Charente-Maritime, this three-bedroom detached house sits on a generous 3,000 square metres of mature land in a small, unhurried hamlet. It's the kind of spot that takes a minute to find on the map but stays with you long after you leave. At 102m², the house is compact enough to manage easily as a second home, yet laid out with enough rooms that a family or a group of friends won't be tripping over each other. Inside, the ground floor flows from an entrance hall into a comfortable lounge and separate dining room — the sort of arrangement that still works for a long Sunday lunch the way open-plan never quite does. The kitchen has a fireplace, which tells you something important: this room was built to be the heart of the house, not just a functional corner. On cold December evenings when you're down here for a long winter weekend, a fire in the kitchen while something slow-cooks on the hob is exactly the right kind of warmth. There's also a utility room for the practical side of country living — muddy boots, firewood, market bags. At the back, a summer room and veranda opens the house out toward the garden, catching afternoon light and giving you somewhere to eat outside without the full commitment of a terrace meal in ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Châteauneuf-du-Faou starts with the smell of buttered crêpes drifting from the boulangerie on Rue de la Mairie, and if you crack open the upstairs window, you'll catch the faint echo of church bells bouncing off the stone facades across the square. That's the kind of detail you can't manufacture. It's either there or it isn't — and here, it absolutely is. This is a rare find in the heart of one of Finistère's most quietly compelling villages: two adjoining stone houses, sold together as a single property, sitting right in the village core with everything you need within a short walk. At 80 square metres combined and priced at €123,500, this is the kind of opportunity that makes serious buyers move fast. Five bedrooms spread across two interconnected dwellings, a landscaped enclosed garden, a garage, and a timber-framed attic just waiting to be converted. The bones are solid — natural slate roof, mains drainage, stone walls that have quietly absorbed two centuries of Breton weather. Let's talk about the layout, because it's genuinely interesting. The first house opens at ground level into an entrance hall that flows into a living and dining room anchored by a working fireplace — the kind you actually use from October through April, not just for Instagram. A kitchen with a shower area sits alongside, and a connecting living room links the two houses together. Head upstairs and you get two good-sized bedrooms. The second house has its own front entrance, kitchen, shower room, WC, and a ground-floor bedroom, with two more bedrooms up top. An attic caps the whole structure, unconverted but full of potential — a home office, a games room for the kids, a reading loft. The layout gives you options that most s ... click here to read more
