Angoulême
Perched on a promontory and bounded by ramparts,  Angoulême dominates a meander of the Charente. The white stone houses with tiled roofs give this Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (Town of Art and History)  a southern feel, its maze of old cobbled streets teeming with life whenever the sun comes out.

​

Seaside and Islands
Facing the Atlantic Ocean, this area boasts an amazing variety of landscapes. You’ll find expansive, fine sandy beaches, exotic creeks, cliffs, bays, headlands, peninsulas, marshlands and vast river estuaries. Because of the Gulf Stream, this particular part of Charente benefits from an exceptional micro-climate and stunning light

 

​

Explore the river Charente
Whether on foot, by bicycle, by canoe, paddle-board or boat,  there are lots of ways to enjoy a trip along the river Charente.
Try out the 'Gabare', a replica 19th century bottomed wood boat formerly used to transport spirits, stones, etc. in St Simon.

GUEST REVIEW

Potlood

Tina, Roel, Belgian Family with 3 kids : 'Le Bonheur" like in 'Happiness' is a choice.  In this case an excellent choise.  We left with a warm heart and the desire to return soon...
