The Local Village Marthon (0.5km): Just a 5 minute gentle stroll takes you into Marthon, a typically french village with a small river running through its centre. Complete with boulangerie,patisserie, tabac, boucherie, pharmacie, vegetable market each Thursday morning, a typical french bar, small hotel, pizzeria, a small cinema, and a very quaint little nightclub frequented by all ages from the village!! The village parc has a tennis court and is a wonderful spot for fishing. Steeped deep in history this beautiful village with its castle ruins, ancient church, and pretty houses with painted shutters is a pure delight.
The Charente is still very unspoilt where one can truly appreciate the wonders of the French way of life. The annual calendar overflows with festivities held throughout the summer in the small towns and villages, from bric a brac’s every Sunday to full blown music festivals, international cycling and car tours, and many other events throughout the year.
