LOCATION
Deep in the heart of the Charente countryside, surrounded by fields of sunflowers and vineyards. This property is at the centre of a small, friendly, typically French village, with the convenience of it’s own railway station with connections to Angouleme and Ruffec, both twenty minutes away, with TGV links to Paris.

The village is about 6 kms from the market town of Mansle, which offers supermarkets, bars, restaurants, banks and a tourist office, nestled on the banks of the Charente River. Activities in the area include canoeing, fishing and swimming at the nearby lakes, rivers and swimming holes. The area is perfect country for cycling, walking, bird spotting exploring or simply relaxing with a glass of wine in the garden.

Despite its rural location, the village is home to a Michelin rated restaurant, which visitors travel from far and wide to sample their delicious menu (book in advance for this!)
