The Charente region is known for its excellent climate, only beaten in France by the south coast! Local wine-tasting tours can be enjoyed tasting the local Pineau, various red, white and sparkling wines. We can recommend a few.
The region benefits from beautiful undulating hills and valleys, pretty little villages & market towns, and local freshwater lakes with sandy beaches (Etang Vallier, Aubeterre sur Dronne, St Aulaye ) jotted around the area - all within a short drive from the domain. During high season you can enjoy various evening markets, live music etc.
