About the host
Hosted by Monica
Warren and I are friendly New Zealanders (Kiwis) living the Good Life in the glorious Grand Champagne Premier Cru, Cognac region. Having spent the previous 6 years living on our boat and travelling 7500 miles throughout the USA and Canada (America's Great Loop Adventure), we are now earthbound and loving this new phase of our retirement.
We are 'Cognac Cottages' !
Les Vignes in Merignac, 16200 Charente, and La Maison de Riviere complete our trio of gorgeous properties.
Why they chose this property
What's not to like about a view of the Charente River! This property and its next door neighbour La Maison de Riviere, enjoy a special place in this small Grande Champagne town of Bourg-Charente. You don't really need to go anywhere for fun, it's all here!
We are located very near to the Local bar/restaurant/ depot de pain, 50 paces to the right, and next door to the Michelin Starred restaurant, La Ribaudiere. Treat yourselves!
What makes this property unique
It's all here in Bourg-Charente. You might have to venture to Cognac or Jarnac for your groceries, but you can get your morning croissants and baguette right along the road 50 paces. The river is the focus of course, and you can walk, ride, bike, kayak, swim, all from the doorstep. Golfing? Just across the bridge a short way to Golfe De Cognac. You can sit by the river in the shade of a tree with a good book or do nothing at all. The garden is a wonderful private alternative, with shade structures, picnic tables and some ball game activities to enjoy. You will be soothed by the proximity to the River and cozy inside this cute wee cottage. Just enjoy it all!
