“Shall we go to the Charente this summer?” ... “The Charente? Never heard of it...”The unknown is often unloved, but precisely for that reason, the region of the Charente (named after the homonymous river that crosses this area) feels like a hidden pearl in the heart of France. Unspoilt nature, picturesque villages and a mild Mediterranean climate, far from crowded beaches and busy city centres. Here you can still find "la France profonde": rural peace, rolling landscapes, a relaxed atmosphere and markets filled with fresh produce, Cognac and Pineau that have developed their flavour in the cellars around the nearby town of Cognac. You'll find rustic Romanesque churches everywhere, nestled in timeless villages for centuries, interconnected by winding walking and cycling paths. A region where time seems to move more slowly and life feels softer. In addition, the Charente is an ideal base to discover two of France's most beloved regions. To the west lies the Charente-Maritime, where you are welcomed by vast Atlantic beaches and delicious oysters or "fruits de mer" straight from the bay. The coast and dunes are wide, sunny and perfect for a day of fresh air or exploring small fishing harbours. To the east awaits the Dordogne (also known as Périgord) with its dozens of castles, medieval villages, prehistoric caves and culinary delights. A region bursting with history, atmosphere and flavour. In short, from the Charente, the best of southwestern France is within easy reach. We also live on the property and are happy to provide you with tips on excursions, walking and cycling routes, markets, wine, Cognac and Pineau houses, and other gems in the region.
