The architecture is ancient & unspoilt, the magnificent chateau at La Rochfoucauld has been in the same family for 1000yrs. Cognac offers tours of the distilleries or you can just enjoy the many rivers in the area. For the more active local facilities include tennis, kayaks and fishing at Mansle. Angouleme (30km) has a lake complex with sandy beach, jetskiing, water-skiing, windsurfing and a leisure centre with children’s pools, chutes & lazy river. The area also has horse riding & karting. Futuroscope is 60min away and Le Vallee des Singes monkey sanctuary is great family fun. Maybe try the Velorail and pedal your way through forest trails.

Fabulous holiday at Le Petit Parc

twtwhite Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: May 26, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We absolutely loved our vacation at Le Petit Parc. The property was exactly as described and then some. Linda provided us with all kinds of advice and recommendations about the region and the guest book provided everything else that we could have asked. The house had everything we needed and provided a lovely homebase to this picturesque region.

We loved the region so much that we have considered purchasing there some day.

My wife and I and our 7 month old had a wonderful time and will think fondly of this vacation for years to come. We will be back!!

Thank you.

Le Petit Parc, Charente

Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had an amazing holiday at Le Petit Parc. There was plenty of space for our extended family and good facilities for ages ranging from the young children up to their Nana!
We particularly enjoyed the outside areas; barbequeing most nights in the (still hot) sunshine; spending the days lazing by the pool or playing treasure hunts or running races in the long garden.
We're really suffering from Post-Holiday-Blues since our return!

Absolute Perfection, I dont know where to begin !!

Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
My wife and I stayed at Le Petit Parc for over 8 months. There are not enough words to describe this place, haven, or paradise. The experience began with the owners Linda and Russell Taylor, great, easy going, caring, fun people. They go out of their way to ensure that you get the most from your stay and enjoy time at Le Petit Parc. The second part of the experience is when you walk through the gates you enter a world of its own. Complete and utter privacy, very spacious and confortable surroundings. The garden which is extremely well kept is huge, a fantastic setting in itself with a lovely lawn, a wooded area which is great to have a picnic in the shade away from the hot sun. Then there is the magnificant pool, this too is immaculate.
Now onto the accomadation, WOW ! The pictures on the website dont do justice to the property. Everything in this house is super. Linda and Russell have gone to great efforts to ensure that you have everything you need to have a fun holiday. They provided us with some literature about the area, places to go and see, things to do, places to eat and they even included maps and phone numbers to show how to get there. I could go on forever about Le Petit Parc. In all, the attention to detail and the tailoring of this property to short and long term renters is the best you will ever see, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Linda, Thank you Russell for our wonderful experience, it was way more than we could ever expect. All the best for now. We will be in touch again and again.

Wonderfully charming!...

Erynsmum nottingham, England
Review Submitted: July 11, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
This was our first family holiday and we could not have chosen a more perfect destination or property! We imagined travelling with a 4mth old to be a nightmare but Le Petit Parc had everything to accomodate us and we had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing holiday!
The property is very large and spacious and more importantly private! The house oozes with charm and we were very sad to come to the end of our stay but we WILL be back!
I cannot speak highly enough of this house and if you are looking for a relaxing family holiday then this is the place for you!
Hidden away from the hustle and bustle and with no noise other than the song of the birds Le Petit Parc is warm, homely and inviting; i guarantee you will not want to leave!
With the kindest regards
Marie, David, Eryn, Paul & Gill

See you next year! x
