Description
Winding through tiny hamlets near the market town of St Jean d’Angély brings you to this sprawling homestead where a cluster of traditional pastel-shuttered houses surround the courtyard. The world famous vineyards of Cognac are on your doorstep; until fifty years ago both Cognac and Pineau des Charentes were produced here. Explore the region's stunning coastline or make use of the sturdy pushchair available or bicycle baby carriage and get close up to those beautiful sunflowers.
