Description

THE UNIQUE STORY, AS TOLD BY THE HOME OWNER

Welcome to Liglet train station!

This old station has a unique and rustic charm. Rarely will you find more charming lodging than Station Liglet. Because its original function is still visible, this is your chance to stay in a historic train station, dating all the way back to 1888.

The way the station building was renovated while retaining all the original elements is very unique. How about a drink on the terrace that used to be the platform? You'll also immediately recognize the old ticket booths in the house.

Station Liglet is also a perfect outing with children. There are lots of toys in the house, and kids can have fun with the zipline and tree house.

DETAILS

- This former 1888 station has been lovingly restored to residential use in recent years. In addition, 2 years ago a large heated swimming pool of 16x4m was built to make your stay even more enjoyable.
- The house has all kinds of classic features, combined with the modern conveniences of today, such as WiFi and Amazon Echo.
- The old rails have been removed, but very occasionally a walker or cyclist will pass by on the old track, which is still owned by the SNCF. A small piece of the rails can still be seen here.
- In the spacious surroundings a visit to Oradour sur Glane (1 hour) or Futuroscope (75 minutes) is highly recommended.
- Around the house there are 2 large terraces, one of which is on the former platform. There is also more history to be found at this vacation home: the original ticket counters are still inside and the swimming pool (50 m) was built on a former loading platform.
- A tree house has been built for the children, from which they can abseil down a zip line. Finally, there are also a ping pong table, badminton and a large selection of board games.
