When we started looking for a property in France we were advised by some very good French friends of ours where to look to find beautiful untouched landscapes close to places of interest and not too far from the coast. They recommended the Poitou-Charentes and we quickly found a house that we literally fell in love with. A true 'coup de coeur'.
The location offers the benefit of a semi-rural setting , surrounded by cognac vineyards, a wonderful selection of diverse activities and a full range of close amenities - from bakeries, to supermarkets and bi-weekly local town markets.
It is less than an hour west to the beautiful Grande Cote - including the famous La Palmyre Zoo - one hour north to the verdant Marais Poitevin and the Vallee des Singes and one hour south to the Bordeaux vineyards.
We are ideally situated for autoroute access, train travel and within 1-1.5 hours of three airports - Bordeaux, Poitiers and La Rochelle.
Situated in a small village the location is semi-rural and peaceful but alive.
