We really are very much in the heart of the French countryside. A car is essential to enjoy the beautiful Charente Maritime area and to visit all the lovely towns such as La Rochelle, Bordeaux and the beaches. A car is also essential to get to our local shops and restaurants in St Jean d'Angely as there are no shops in the village. The boulangerie is 3km away.

Petite Hirondelles private villa with heated pool stands alone in its own grounds with open fields all around. Very peaceful and relaxing. It is on the edge of a rural hamlet so you can take walks right from your front door along quiet country lanes and tracks, there are also some lovely walks through the woodlands too. Get away from it all.

There is no public transport. Taxis are very expensive and must be ordered well in advance (30€ for a 12km journey to our local town - one way) so not practical.

There is a train station in St Jean d'Angely (12km) but no car hire.
The nearest airport to Villa Hirondelles is La Rochelle at about 1hr15 drive; Poitiers and Bordeaux airports are about 1hr30 drive and Limoges and Nantes about 2hrs drive.
