2 stone gites-each has private pool- near La Rochelle.

Welcome to Les Ribaudieres, our gite complex in the sunny Charente Maritime. Whether you’re looking for a holiday where you can relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.or perhaps something a little more energetic, then this is the place for you! Watch the world go by in this sleepy hamlet under your own shady pergola, retreat into the cool interior of your gite or take a dip in your private pool. We are sure you'll feel truly relaxed after a short while here. There are two private pools, birdsong in spring, long summer days, starry, starry nights, the food, the wine, the sun, the calm, the autumn colours, even the crisp winter days. Discount golf can be pre-booked- Saintes, Royan and Cognac are nearby courses. The atmosphere here is calm, clean, clear and blue. A world away from the grey skies we remember in the UK. We live here and are willing to help. However, if you prefer to do your own thing then so be it.

Accommodation and Facilities for Jasmine in France

DVDs and Videos available

We have a selection of DVDs and videos which you can borrow if you wish. The television is through an outdoor aerial- therefore, the picture is good. There is a freeview box in each gite. They are French- but some people do like French TV!

Bicycles and clobber

We have a stable of eight bikes which you are welcome to use if you're feeling energetic. The local roads are little used, picturesque and hills can easily be avoided. The countryside is rolling- there are some more challenging rides if you insist. We have provided a couple of children's bikes. There now two smaller ones ready and waiting! The table tennis table is up and awaiting high class opposition! The inflatables- boat, killer whale etc think they are indestructible. OK accidents happen: this is not a challenge! Football, basketball, volleyball, boules and various other bits of games gear is available free of charge. Golf clubs- left or right handed- are itching to be used! Advice on the use of these would be appreciated. There are a number of good golf courses in the area. We will arrange the tee offs if the language is a problem. And, the swings and slide are always available for the younger ones.

Flights and changeovers

We prefer to have Saturday as changeover day for convenience and for continuity. However, we are offering a service, and we are very conscious of budget flights flights being cheaper mid-week. La Rochelle, Poitiers and Bourdeaux are within easy reach. Nantes is now an improved option from Shannon! We are prepared to be flexible- particularly outside of peak season! From 2008 we offer 3 day (or weekend) deals outside of peak season. We have found that a weekend in or around La Rochelle, or three days on the golf course are now possibilities.

Golf Information:

The three nearby 18 hole courses are Saintes, Cognac and Royan. John is a member at Saintes and preferential rates are easily arranged. Royan and Cognac are excellent and arrangements can be made by phone (we would do the phoning if necessary!). Golf is cheaper, warmer and less crowded here than in UK or Ireland. It is, also, less hot and prettier than in Spain!
