  About our region

Welcome to the second sunniest area of France, the beautiful countryside of Poitou - Charentes. Situated midway between the N10 and Civray, our gite is set in the small hamlet of La Tourenne, within easy reach (within 15 minutes' walk) of the picturesque village of Blanzay, which offers all local amenities including post office, bread shop, grocery shop, telephone, bar, restaurant and a Norman church.
Just five minutes drive away is Civray, the picturesque market town with its open air swimming pool, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and twice weekly market.
Poitiers is under an hour's drive away, with its attractive squares, narrow alleyways and cobbled streets. It is also home to Futuroscope, the futuristic 3D cinema and evening laser show.
Cognac can also be reached in under an hour. There are many shops and cafés to be found here, and of course the famous distilleries of Rémy Martin and Martell.
At approximately eight miles away is Romagne, with its large Monkey Sanctuary. The monkeys all live wild in natural wooded islets and there is not a cage or a barrier to be seen.
Other places of interest include Le Château d'Epanvilliers Brux, Le Château de Gencay and Le Parc Floral Gardens which are only fifteen minutes drive.
The towns of La Rochelle and Bordeaux can be reach in about an hour.
