Fribaud is a traditional French hamlet famous for its apple, peach, nectarine and cherry orchards which give spectacular blossom in the spring and a feast of fruit in late summer and autumn. It lies off the tourist routes but is only 20 minutes from the nearest beaches. The coast has some of the finest in France with family beaches and wilder, natural stretches among the forests to the west of the region. The many islands just off the coast are perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle.The area is steeped in history with a wealth of Chateaux, Roman & medieval remains. Saintes is 15 minutes away, Royan 25 minutes & La Rochelle 60 minutes. These & the many smaller towns have wonderful food markets which offer amongst other fresh seafood, the famous Marennes oysters from the local beds which claim to supply 75% of the oysters eaten in France. Within a short drive we have many fine restaurants & we must not forget the fine wines produced on our doorstep.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Saintes area, France

This is a recent barn conversion to a very high standard. The owners live in a traditional, Charentaise stone farmhouse on site and you can be sure of a warm welcome. To find out more please do not hesitate to contact them and they will only be too pleased to share their love of this beautiful corner of France. Fribaud is an ideal spot if you just want to chill out and enjoy the peace and tranquility or perhaps sit and watch the sunset over the fields and sip a glass of the local wine. Or maybe a stroll round the beautiful leafy lanes. But it is also ideally situated to tour the Charente Maritime with its many and varied coastal resorts, the oyster beds, the vineyards, the historic towns and villages (Saintes is ten minutes away - it is rich in roman architecture, the Charente river gently flows through the town and it has wonderful markets selling local produce every day except Mondays but on the first Monday of the month all the roads are closed to accommodate a huge foire).

Fribaud Pastorale Guest Book: A great week - great accommodation in a great location. Very quiet and peaceful. Sat and watched the sunset over Fribaud. Josie and Roy were always on hand for help and advice and have done a fantastic job in their barn conversion. We really enjoyed our stay and everything was provided for an excellent holiday. Very impressed and we will be recommending Fribaud Pastorale to our friends. Had a lovely week, the barn is very comfortable and has all you need for a relaxing holiday. After watching the sunset over the fields, the stars begin to appear. Never seen so many. Then slept like a log. Wonderful. Everywhere is easy to get from here - Royan, St Palais, Ile d'Oleron, Ile de Re. All have great beaches. Thank you for having us - its been fantastic. Lovely weather, lovely food, great accommodation. Coming back soon. Roy and Josie are spot on - Roy even came to find us when we were lost!
