Pretty holiday cottage in the Royan area, near the sea with swimming pool

A charming cottage, newly created from antiquated farm buildings in a pretty enclosed garden with a swimming pool [shared with the owners]. Situated in a vineyard & sunflower-surrounded village overlooking the sea, near many beautiful, safe, sandy beaches: Meschers (15 mins), St Georges de Didonne (20) as well as the Atlantic rollers & dunes of the Cote Sauvage. There are little fishing ports nearby, two in walk able distance. The area is full of wildlife & great for bird watchers. Numerous excellent restaurants cater to all tastes - the local seafood is legendary. Many of the local wine growers open their doors to visitors for tastings of cognac, pineau & wine. There are plenty of places of interest nearby, e.g. Talmont, one of the prettiest villages in France, & La Palmyre with its wonderful zoo. Cognac, Saintes, Royan & Bordeaux are all beautiful historic towns with excellent golf courses. The Medoc on the opposite side of the Gironde is easily reached by ferry from Royan.
