Location/Activities



location



We are situated in the Charente but on the border with the Dordogne. The Natural regional park of the Perigord Limousin is also within 5 kilometers of the property. Pretty wooded hills and valleys criss crossed by sparkling rivers and streams make the area perfect for walking and cycling or horse riding on the many tracks.
The medieval town of Angoulême is only 45 minutes away and has a good offering of restaurants, shops and ativities.
La Rochefoucauld is only 20 minutes from us and has a beautiful castle which you can visit as well as a good selection of shops including a hypermarket.
Montbron is about 10 minutes from here. The pretty high street has a good selection of shops and there are also a couple of supermarkets.
Brantôme, the venice of the Périgord can be found 45 minutes south of here in the Dordogne. There are shops in the caves, restaurants and hotels alongside the river on which you can take a boat trip to discover the town from the water. There are restaurants elsewhere in the town too.

Activities



The lakes of the Haute Charente are also easily accessible from here and offer a range of outdoor activities including walking and cycling, fishing as well as swimming and sailing in the summer.

Golf de la Prèze



The Golf de la Preze is 500 metres from our property. The renowned international 18 hole course and pitch and putt is very beautiful. There is also a clubhouse where you can have lunch or just a drink overlooking stunning surroundings of the course.

Horse riding



At Domaine des Limousines, Laura Kendall will be happy to take you out for a ride so you can enjoy this beautiful area on horseback. Alternatively she also teaches so why not treat yourself or your children to a riding lesson.

You are also welcome to bring your own horse and stay with us. We have plenty of grazing.

Hiking



You can walk, cycle or ride on the many beautiful tracks in the area. We can provide you with maps and suggest routes as well as making you a picnic if you would like one. Locations such as the Gorges de Chambon and the valley of La Renaudie among just a few places you can see. It is also possible to stop in Montbron for lunch or coffee on some routes.

Cycling



There are many well signposted cycle tracks of varying lengths and difficulty. We have a few maps however the Tourist Office in Montbron has more information. Furthermore we are close to several long distance cycle routes such as the Flow velo and the Scandibierique so why not plan to stay with us for a night en route. We can keep your bikes locked up at night and have some equipment should you need to repair or simply wash your bike. Last but not least we can provide an evening meal and a picnic for the next day if required. Lastly it is possible to rent bikes in Montbron
