Welcome to Les Jonquilles B&B in the charming French market town of Chef-Boutonne
A traditional French chambre d’hôte, offering a warm welcome and a homely place to stay from the moment you arrive.
Les Jonquilles is situated in the heart of Chef-Boutonne, in the beautiful Deux-Sèvres region of Western France. Just an hour’s drive from Poitiers airport, the town has a rich heritage and a gentle pace of life. The quiet country lanes and Romanesque architecture invite you to slow down and explore. Chef-Boutonne is full of stories from days gone by and offers visitors a warm, authentic French welcome.
Everything you need is close at hand – three restaurants, three bars, two boulangeries, a chocolate shop, and a lively Saturday morning market. There’s also Galerie 16, where you can enjoy local art and weekly talks, as well as a cinema and an open-air swimming pool. It’s a place where you can stroll out after breakfast, browse the market, or enjoy a relaxed evening meal. Chef-Boutonne is also home to the renowned Château de Javarzay. The chateau’s beautiful grounds and fishing lake provide a perfect place to picnic, as well as a scenic stop for cyclists as the Velo 93 cycle route passes through the grounds. If you love exploring, you’ll feel right at home here. Come and stay, and discover it all at your own pace.
Our Accommodation
Les Jonquilles means ‘daffodils’ in French, so we have named each room after a different variety of daffodil. Keeping with this theme, the doors feature artwork depicting the daffodil associated with the room name. The property has three beautiful en-suite double bedrooms; two with a seating area overlooking the pretty courtyard garden, while the third double bedroom overlooks the quiet street and the church opposite. This room has space for an extra single bed, a cot or a seating area. It also includes its own hallway and private bathroom.
All three rooms can be booked individually or collectively if you are a group or family travelling together. We can accommodate up to nine adults plus a cot. All rooms include complimentary tea and coffee facilities, free Wi-Fi, room slippers and toiletries. During the warmer months, guests can relax and enjoy a continental breakfast in the sunny courtyard. At other times, breakfast is served in the dining room where evening meals are also available for an additional charge.
Whether you’re here for few days or planning a longer stay, our property is ideal for families, couples and solo travellers. Groups of friends, city dwellers and digital nomads in need of a peaceful retreat will also feel right at home. We can’t wait to meet you, and look forward to having you stay with us at Les Jonquilles chambre d’hôte.
