Photos and Description of this Royan area holiday cottage 2 bedroom cottage, sleeps 4, with use of large garden.

Libellule (Dragonfly) is a recently converted 2 bedroom barn in Liboulas, a quiet hamlet overlooking the Gironde estuary, near the historic village of Talmont sur Gironde and just 5 miles from the nearest beaches at Meschers. If you have young children, you'll find the 5 sheltered beaches at nearby Meschers ideal for your summer holiday. For older children, the long sandy beach at St Georges de Didonne (just fifteen minutes away) provides loads of waterports and activities. If you are a birdwatcher, Libellule is a great base for the rich estuary habitats. We provide you with information on all the local birding spots, as well as field guides. You'll find high quality produce in the local markets & vineyards to tempt you to make good use of the well-equipped kitchen or the barbecue. If you'd rather eat out, the nearest restaurant is in the village of Arces just 1 mile away, and there are plenty more within a ten minute drive.

Liboulas is one mile from Talmont, one of 'France's Most Beautiful Villages', with its beautiful Compostella pilgrim church & hollyhock-lined streets. Talmont has several tourist & craft shops, as well as restaurants. On one evening a week in high season, you can soak up the atmosphere of the candle-lit streets to do some late shopping. Closer is Arces, with its boulangerie and well-regarded Franco/Irish restaurant Le Cottage. Local produce is used as far as possible for the modern irish & french dishes which attract the locals and tourists alike, and the music evenings are great fun. The Whitsun flower festival at Arces draws in the crowds, and the fireworks for Bastille Day out-do most British towns ten times the size. Meschers' little port is lined with fish restaurants - try one for Sunday lunch after shopping at the market. Or you can relax over brunch at Tina's Cafe at Meschers' Plage des Nonnes while your children play on the beach.
