Local Information

The property is situated in open countryside 2 km from Chadurie and 30 km south of Angouleme.

All amenities (supermarkets, shops, café bars and restaurants etc) 5 min away in either Blanzac, Villebois or Montmoreau.

Lovely countryside all around to explore with many small, traditional villages. The Dordogne lies just to the south with its beautiful scenery and famous caves.

Brantome is a very popular and pretty town. Well worth a visit, there are several churches and abbeys to discover as well as the Musée de Reve et Miniatures. Perhaps the best thing to do in the town is to firstly take a stroll along the beautiful balustraded river banks and then to choose your evening fayre at one of the many excellent restaurants.

Great area for walking, fishing and riding.

Just north of Brantome is the hamlet of Villars. The hamlet itself is unexciting, but it is surrounded by lovely countryside and is a great base from which to explore Chateau de Puyguilhem and St Jean de Cole. The Grottes de Villars (pre-historic caves) are just past the hamlet and were discovered in 1958 and feature cave paintings.

Cognac (60 min) is a charming little town famous of course for its eponymous digestif. The town has a number of medieval stone and half-timbered buildings in the narrow streets of the old town. Don't miss a visit to the 'Hennessy Cognac Company'.

And for wine lovers, endless opportunities to sample the local Pineau des Charentes or to venture into the Bordeaux region.

Atlantic Coast beaches less than an hour away.

Airports within 90 min of the property; Bergerac, Bordeaux, Limoges and Poitiers.
