Ample parking for cars.

A lovely place to relax, and organize nice meals in this quiet time (Sea food, and other specialities of the place..) visit La Rochelle or the region: L'Ile de Ré, l'Ile d'Oléron, l'Ile d'Aix, ........, or explore simply 10 mins away the beach of Chatelaillon..

This lovely cottage is situated only 17mins away from La Rochelle airport .
(budget flights to La Rochelle with Easyjet depart Gatwick also Ryanair fly from Stansted).

5 mins away by car:
Big shopping center and hyper market CARREFOUR , Mac Donald's, Buffalo grill.....

10 mins away by car:
La Rochelle: is certainly among the most attractive port towns of France, and is a very pleasant place to visit and to pass a few days because there is a great deal to see and do. Known as La Ville Blanche (the White City) the light limestone facades of La Rochelle glow in the light of the sun. The focus of the town is the old harbour, very picturesque with its two monumental towers (St Nicolas Tower and the Tower of the Chain) either side of the port entrance. A third tower, the 'Tower of the Lantern' is connected to the Chain Tower by a section of the ramparts that originally defended the town.
The old town, just behind the harbour, is extensive and also very well preserved dating mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The main shopping streets especially have many fine buildings, but you will also need to explore the side streets in this part of the town. The town has an impressive unified appearance, with arcaded streets, houses constructed in the local light stone, and light grey shutters. Boutiques now occupy the ground floor of many of the buildings.
Les Minimes was built on reclaimed land, and now is the largest marinas in Europe.

Aytré: lovely little town with all the local facilities.

Chatelaillon-Plage: When you arrive in Châtelaillon-Plage you have no doubt about what attracts the visitors - it is very much a typical modern seaside village, developed along the beach. The beach itself is the longest in the region, at almost three kilometres long, and sandy and popular. A stretch of about 200 metres of beach is also supervised for your safety. The rest of the resort contains all the ingredients you would expect: a casino, a spa treatment centre, a racetrack, mini-golf, various beach ensure you make the most of your visit.

***********
Take a boat from la Rochelle or Fouras alternatively you can drive to some of the beautiful islands in the area.
l'ile de Re
l'ile Madame
l'ile d'Aix
l'ile d'Oleron

Day out by car:
Rochefort: 30 minutes - Rochefort was a strategic location from the 17th century and Louis XIV built in the city "the most beautiful and largest Arsenal" of his kingdom by the Charente river. Within the naval yard there are museums and the 'Royal Rope' where rope was made for the French fleet. Rochefort was instrumental in the maritime destiny of France.
Threats of invasions gave birth to a whole system of fortifications including Fort Boyard, Fort Vauban, Fort Enet, Fort Lupin, Fort Liédot in the area.

Marennes: 45 minutes - Marennes is a lovely town with a 12th century church, famous for its fine Oysters and speciality of mussels, fish and seafood

Saintes: 45 minutes - Saintes is a Gallo-Roman city, City of Art and History, a mosaic of landscapes, monuments and gastronomy and there is a great deal to enjoy when visiting this lively town. Because of its gallo-roman, medieval and classical heritage Saintes is officially listed as a 'Ville d'Art et d'Histoire'.
You will notice this as soon as you arrive in the town centre and see the large Arch of Germanicus (a Roman triumphal arch) on the banks of the river, a good place to start your visit of the town.

Cognac: 1hours 15 mins...... The name of Cognac is known the world over because of the brandy produced in the region, and the chance to visit the Cognac distilleries certainly attracts many visitors, but the town itself is also very interesting to explore with an attractive riverside and historical centre to discover. The buildings in Cognac are mostly constructed from the local white stone that is found throughout the Poitou-Charentes region and makes the local architecture so distinctive and attractive.
Cognac 'old town', the medieval part of the town, is a region of narrow cobbled streets, hemmed in by attractive houses from the 15th to 18th centuries, and a multitude of brandy maturing warehouses along the riverside.
A few of the older houses are half-timbered, while most are in the local white stone. Your visit will focus around the Chateau and river a little south of the 'old gateway', and into the old town around Rue Grande, Rue Saulnier and Rue Magdeleine.

Le Futuroscope: 1hour 30 mins and discover the future...Futuroscope is a French theme park of multimedia, cinematographic futuroscope and audio-visual techniques.

We left after one night
Als wir die Bilder gesehen haben, waren wir neugierig auf dieses „romantische“ Objekt. Die Dame des Hauses war sehr freundlich und erklärte uns alles. Dann mussten wir 66 und 64 Jahre, 200€ in bar als Sicherheit hinterlegen. Leider mussten wir dann feststellen, dass das Haus vollkommen heruntergekommen war. Gefühlte 50 Jahre wurde nicht mehr renoviert. In den Ecken schwarze Schimmelflecken. Und vieles wurde provisorisch mit Klebeband repariert. Das Bett von der Großmutter war unbequem und im Schlafzimmer war ein unerträglicher Geruch. Wir schliefen also bei offenem Fenster. Leider gab es an der Straße so viel Verkehr, dass von der beschriebenen Ruhe keine Rede sein konnte. Deswegen sind wir trotz Bezahlung am nächsten Tag abgereist. Die Besitzerin zuckte nur mit den Schultern. Auf der ganzen Welt habe ich noch nie so eine Diskrepanz zwischen Angebot und Realität erlebt. Schade, dass wir keine Bilder anhängen können.

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble.
La maison est bien située, proche de La Rochelle, d'un centre commercial, de la côte. La dame est gentille, serviable et généreuse. Malheureusement, chez elle, ce n'est pas assez entretenu, ce n'est pas très propre. C'est dommage, il suffirait de peu pour que ce soit bien.

A little surprised by the quaintness of the oroperty at first but it was thouroughly charming and homely. Wonderful garden and patio areas with lots of interesting features. Very clean and very well equipped. We loved it, was always a joy to return after a busy day out and about. Lovely beach 6 mins away by car with good parking and nice restaurants. Opposite a really beautiful chateau. Host, Was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again

We are in our Seventies and are retired.
I have inherited from my parents this little house that I have all relooked for the pleasure (I hope) of British Tourists. I fell in love of Great Britain in my youth... I suppose I have transmitted to my daugthers as 2 of them married an English man.
