Not far from the coast, with its extensive beaches, beautiful towns such as La Rochelle, and resorts such as the isles of Oleron and Ré, and within striking distance of regions such as the 'Venice Vert' or the Marais Poitevin where you can hire a punt to spend the day amongst the secluded canals and waterways. Within 20 minutes drive are many Romanesque villages with weekly markets, Aubeterre with its extraordinary underground cathedral, and the beautiful river of the Dronne which you can explore by hiring canoes. There is also horse riding nearby for all ages, and La Vaure is 5 minutes' drive from a swimming lake with a sandy beach and restaurant, a great change for young children.

Further details for this vacation rental in Charente, France

The southern Charente: The area around La Vaure is characterised by beautiful rolling countryside, punctuated by vineyards that produce Cognac, Pineau des Charentes and red and white wines. The countryside is criss-crossed by charming rivers such as the Charente, and the Dronne which can be explored by hire canoe or kayak. Nearer the coast the landscape changes, becoming much flatter. This is where oysters are farmed in the estuaries of the rivers, and in the oysterbeds that punctuate the picturesque island of Oleron and Ré. The whole area benefits from being between the great weather systems to the north and to the south, a micro climate that gives us sun to rival the Cote d'Azur.

Other Activities: Safari Park, Jet Ski, Quad bikes
