    Séjour en famille très agréable ! Le gite est très bien équipé et bien pensé; il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour de jeunes enfants (vaisselle, jeux, marche pied, barrière de sécurité..). La maison a été rénovée avec goût. L’extérieur est très sympa également. L’emplacement est idéal pour rayonner dans la région sans faire trop de voiture. Très peu de circulation dans le hameau à part des cyclistes qui empruntent le sentier juste à côté. C’est calme et paisible. Piscine très bien pour que notre fille prenne confiance dans l’eau. Très belle vue sur l’estuaire. Bref, tout était parfait ! Et Ellen et Jean sont très sympathiques. Merci pour le cadeau de bienvenue.

Restaurants, food & wine

During your holiday in the Charente-Maritime you must try the Pineau des Charentes, Cognac and wine at one of the local vineyards. Pineau de Charentes is very popular in France. It is made from Cognac and grape juice; delicious as an aperitif, but it also very good with a dessert.

It is more fun to visit a local producer, than to buy in a supermarket or a souvenir shop and there is more than enough choice nearby. You will see their signs along the road sides, but we can also organise tasting tours for you.
