Further details for Detached Farmhouse in Charente, France
There are many, many local restaurants but our favourite is The Chateau in Chalais. Elegant surroundings with excellent food and first class service. Ensure you book well in advance for this very reasonably priced treat. Two alternatives are Le Bonne Humeur at Yviers for wonderful fresh food and a friendly welcoming atmosphere and probably the best local lunch is at La Poirier in Bardenac. There really are too many to list but we would be happy to advise you when you arrive.
