The property's charming owners live in a cottage onsite with their two daughters. They have thought of everything that you might need to have a wonderfully relaxing time while on holiday. The daily housekeeping service is a welcome break from your daily routine and home cooked food is available, meaning you can arrange to have anything from a picnic to a formal dinner party delivered to the Chateau.
This family friendly Chateau provides an elegant base to enjoy the lovely gentle countryside of the Charente. Just a stones throw from the Dordogne but without the crowds, there is so much to see in the area that you will never be short of things to do,
For days out there are markets, golf courses, horse riding, swimming, beaches and activity parks all within 20 minutes.
The beautiful ramparted city of Angoulême is just a 30 minute drive away and is a wonderful place to wander and explore. The city itself is the world capital for Bande Dessinée (comic strip), and here you will find many of the buildings decorated with beautiful art work and a fascinating museum dedicated to the art. Alongside this, the city itself has stunning architecture, traditional markets, beautiful gardens, pavement cafes and a variety of restaurants.
Accrobranche in Soyaux, only a 15 minute drive away, is a fantastic place for all ages from 3 years upwards to have fun together, climbing the trees with ropes and harnesses, completing differing levels of difficulty. For the very small there is a traditional playground with swings and slides next to this, or if this is too energetic for you, there is plenty of space to just sit in the shade of the trees with a coffee while the children burn off some energy: www.accroparc - de - soyaux.com
If energy burning is what your small people need then Toboggan & Cie is just the place for the odd inclement day. An indoor adventure play ground with all the usual ball pools, ropes and soft play: https://tobogganetcie.com/angouleme/
For those of you for whom a beach and a bucket and spade is a necessity on holiday then the 23Ha Fresh water lake at the Plan d'Eau just outside Anglouleme is a fabulous place for a grand day out. It has lovely sandy beaches and a large range of water sports on offer. Just next to this is Angoulême's water park Nautilis where you will find indoor and outdoor pools, flumes, rapids, wave pool and gentle areas for small people to play: www.nautilis.fr
