The gite is situated a short drive from many places/towns of interest. Cognac is only half an hour away - visit the famous distilleries and sample their wares. Saintes also within half an hour, has a fantastic roman amphitheatre, take a riverboat trip or visit the many shops. La Rochelle and Bordeaux are just over an hour away, both worth a visit for their architecture, galleries and shops. For the children: La Palmyre Zoo is one of the best in Europe and is on the coast. Chateau des Enigmes (15 min drive) - a treasure hunt set in a beautiful chateau with a pirate theme. A bit further afield is Futuruscope, a theme park with spectacular shows. Visit the masses of vineyards in the area which welcome visitors and allow them to sample and buy their produce. Many tours are conducted in English. There are also weekly markets in the area selling anything from rabbits and chickens to local wine and honey.
