Out & about

La Rochelle, said to be one of the prettiest ports in France, laze on the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic coastline. The canals of “Green Venice” and the vineyards of Cognac are all within easy driving distance. Vallee de singes (Monkey World) is a short drive away & is well worth a visit. It has become a real family favourite.

The beautiful & historic city of Bordeaux is about 2 hours drive or for something completely different visit Futuroscope.

Wander through the local markets & enjoy the freshest French produce. The local supermarket & bakery is approximately 1.5 miles away. Larger hypermarkets & shopping centres are in Niort & Poitiers.
