Location
Set in the beautiful Charentaise countryside, surrounded by farm and woodland, there are plenty of lovely walks and cycle rides direct from the property.
Just ten minutes away is the delightful town of Pons which is dominated by its ‘donjon’, a 12th century keep which now houses the tourist office. The old town has tiny medieval streets (les ruelles) and imposing ramparts looking down onto the River Seugne 30 metres below, all of which can be explored on foot. The town is situated on the ancient route of the pilgrims and is also home to a museum of the pilgrims. Good bars and restaurants are available. Trips on the river are available (balades en barque), as is fishing. On the outskirts is a ‘base de loisirs’ with crazy golf and other entertainment for children.
Fifteen minutes away to the south is the slightly larger town of Jonzac which has a new Oasis style water park and lovely safe bathing at its man-made lake and separate boating lake. For those who are in search of some great French food, there are numerous restaurants in the area with the closest being only ten minutes away, and for those who want to cook their own masterpieces there are several markets on various days in the surrounding towns. Apart from the many caves offering tastings of the local Charentaise tipple Pineau, a trip to Cognac is also worth a visit, with its numerous world famous Cognac houses and a beautiful town to wander around.
A little further afield are the very child friendly beaches of the Gironde Estuary, with miles of safe sandy beaches and lovely little coastal villages and towns. Definitely not to be missed if sand is an important part of your holiday! Also worth a visit is La Palymre – it is the largest Zoo in France - with over 1600 animals to delight and entertain the whole family.
