   About our region

We are in the centre of an area with a wealth of interests and activities. To name just a few, there are parks and boating for the family, local markets, châteaux, Futuroscope at Poitiers, an excellent zoo near Royan, go-karting at St Jean d'Angely, and picnicking and cycling in Aulnay forest. You can visit the wine cellars of Cognac, with a trip along the river, the Aquarium at La Rochelle, the fortified seaside resort of Fouras and the beaches at Chatelaillon, La Rochelle and the off shore islands of Ille de Ré and Ille d'Oleron, and why not take a pony and trap ride around the town of Rochefort with its historic naval background.
For those who come to the Charente for its links with the distant past, there is an abundance of Romanesque churches and architecture and at Saintes, which was the Gallo-Roman capital of the Aquitaine for a century, there is the amphitheatre.

The house is situated in a private lane on the outskirts of Gibourne, a quiet farming village surrounded by open farmland. The traffic free lanes around Gibourne a ideal for walking or cycling.

Gibourne itself is a traditional French village, untouched by modern times,View of Gibourne peaceful and tranquil and surrounded by rolling farm land.

The pretty town of Martha is only a ten minute drive away across open countryside. There are supermarkets, banks, a pizza restaurant, bars, an open air and tennis courts. This is in addition to the usual collection of typical French shops.

To the west, only 20 minutes' drive is the ancient town of St Jean d'Angely with its narrow streets and weekly markets. To the south, Cognac and the city of Saintes are both about a 30 minute drive. The coastline of the Charente-Maritime is ideal for lazy days at the beach.
