Situated at the end of a little country lane, with our neighbour's lake about 100 metres away (fenced and safe!), it is in an idylllic rural location. However, you are only 5 mins away from the medieval hamlet of Ronsenac, which has its own cafe, and 10 mins away from the town of Villebois Lavalette, a town with plenty of history, complete with chateau and church dating back to the 12th century and a magnificent medieval Halles - see picture where the Saturday market takes place..

Villebois Lavalette has all the amenties, including a large supermarket and petrol station, as well as banks, chemists, estate agents and bakers. Angoulême, the capital of the department of the Charente, is an ancient walled city only 25 minutes away with the River Charente flowing through it. Angoulême frequently hosts festivals (for locals and tourists).


We are situated in a beautiful area of south west France, close to the Charente/Dordogne border. The Charente exudes history, good living and serene natural beauty. It has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful departments in France. There are an abundance of rivers, undulating countryside, deep forests, dramatic gorges - similar in many ways to the neighbouring department of the Dordogne, favoured by the British for many years, but without the number of tourists that inundate the area in the summer months.

The Charente exudes history, good living and serene natural beauty: undulating hills, wide horizons, rivers and big skies.
Blessed with many hours of sunshine due to a micro climate, there is an abundance of locally grown vegetables and fruit, particularly organic and many other excellent things to eat in this gastronomic region, such as foie gras, duck, pineau and cognac. Just north of the Dordogne, this is lovely countryside, unspoilt with many woods and walks to discover. An abundance of activities await you, such as kayaking, swimming, walking, cycling and horseriding. Prehistoric sites, caves and cave paintings, historic chateaux, traditional unspoilt villages, and vineyards are waiting for you to discover them.
The interesting towns of Angouleme, Limoges, Cognac and Royan are near enough to discover in a day.

Under two hours away is Futuroscope in Poitiers, a fantastic day out for all the family. See their website (also in English).

However you want to spend your time on holiday, you are sure to be able to do it here.
