Local visits and activities;

Conte and Filles Vignoble 7 minutes (5.6 km) by car, is a local vineyard that is entirely family run anchored on the limestone valleys of Charente. Today, it is two sisters, Blandine and Anne-Laure, who will talk you through their history and traditions of cognac making through 5 generations.

A visit to the vineyard is highly recommended including cognac and pinot tasting and shopping for local artisan products. The views of the local countryside are amazing.

Lac Bleu de Guizengeard 15 minutes (13.5 km) by car, the secret blue lakes of Guizengeard are set in a pine and oak forest of the Sud- Charente. You will be amazed by the spectacular turquoise blue lakes that have formed in former clay quarries. This area is ecologically rich and was rehabilitated by conservationists to create a beautiful Discovery Trail, now home to exceptional biodiversity and migratory birds.

It takes 2-3 hours to take the trail and of course an important stop for a picnic lunch.

Aubeterre-sur-Dronne 28 minutes (30.6km) by car, one of France’s Les Plus Beaux Villages; walk around the artisan shops and relax in the pretty main square for a late lunch or a glass of wine.

Visit the 13th century monolithic underground church and take in the beautiful countryside views. For the children, take an afternoon visit to the lovely sandy river beach with a play area and safe swimming, or hire a kayak for a leisurely punt around the river, followed by a dinner in one of the many eateries.

Angoulême 30 minutes (39.8 km), by car, is the capital city of the Charente and offers a fantastic choice of restaurants and shopping.

Take a stroll through the quaint streets in the old town and visit the artisan indoor market. A walk around the old city ramparts is a highlight, providing excellent views of the city and countryside.

Nabinaud 30 minutes (33.1km) by car offers a great day out at La Base de Pleine Nature de Poltrot which offers zipline and aerial adventures. Take a swim in the beautifully cool river, go for a walk in the forest.

Brantôme 60 minutes (73 km) by car, is recognised as a Les Plus Beaux Villages and famous for a monastery which is is partially built in rock with caves to explore. The river running through the town is a great place to take a small river cruise, or if you’re feeling energetic, hire a kayak to traverse the river. There many cafés and restaurants to take in the lovely views or walk around the peaceful quaint streets.

Saint-Émilion 1 hour 7 minutes (81.4km) by car, is one of the most famous and prestigious wine-producing villages of the Bordeaux wine region. Visit one of the many artisan shops and independent wine producers, who offer wine tastings and advice.

Book a tour of one of the vineyards in advance. Enjoy lunch in the historic square or take in the beautiful views from the old ramparts and city walk.
