Roussillon is in a pretty hamlet just outside the village of St Germain du Seudre. The market town of Gemozac is 5 mins away by car and provides supermarkets, banks, post office, restaurants and a weekly market. The beautiful sandy beaches of Meschers and St Georges are 30 mins away as is the Roman town of Sainte, with its Roman amphitheatre, pedestrianised shopping streets and golf course. The Gironde estuary fishing ports are within 15 mins, with a variety of al fresco restaurants overlooking the harbour. There's a fantastic zoo at La Palmyre near the seaside town of Royan and a multi-activity centre at Jonzac. Bordeaux and La Rochelle are fascinating towns within easy reach, as is Cognac where you can enjoy a guided tour of the distilleries. The area is home to Pineau des Charentes and there are numerous producers offering tasting locally.
