Further details
The main attraction of this area of France is the peaceful, slower pace of countryside life and Cognac! The countryside surrounding the house is gentle and full of quiet lanes which criss cross through vineyards for walking and cycling. Yet within a short distance you will find historic and Roman churches to visit or more modern leisure centres with outside wave machine pools etc. There is a hotel restaurant with bar and alfresco dining within walking distance from the house, very handy for the evenings you want to give the barbecue a rest. The area around Jarnac is particularly well know for the production of Cognac and you can take a tour around one of the Cognac houses and ageing storehouses or learn the art of barrel making or visit one of the open farms and wander through the Cognac grape vineyards. There are many local brocantes, festivals and fireworks throughout the season and a 3 day Blues/Jazz festival in Cognac in July. If all this tires you out, you can choose to relax by the pool and do nothing!
