La Vieille Distillerie Bed and Breakfast South Charente France

Site created by Wyedean Web World

Welcome to our home in the heart of the unspoilt Cognac vineyard region amongst the beautiful rolling Charente countryside in south west France between Cognac and Bordeaux. Dating from the mid-nineteeeth century it has been carefully restored to provide spacious and comfortable ensuite accommodation. Across the lane at the side of an 11th century church is a tennis court and a boules pitch.

Situated in the tranquil hamlet of Le Tatre, 4 kms off the N10 route to the south, to Spain and Portugal, we are a convenient stop-off point half way from the Channel ports. We are an ideal place from which to explore the beautiful and varied French countryside or simply to relax. Ancient towns and villages are within a short drive. Close by is the Grande Champagne with acre upon acre of Cognac vineyards where you can visit distilleries famous for the best Cognacs and Pineaux.

Bordeaux and the vineyards of St Emilion and the Medoc are an hour's drive. The beaches of the Atlantic coast are within 45 minutes drive.

Part of the Garden

Our gite, set over the old distillery, is perfect for couples or a family of 4. This former cellar master's house has been tastefully and lovingly restored to provide a relaxing ambience. Although attached to the house it is completely separate, has it's own private courtyard and access to our large garden.

We offer a special rate during the winter months for long-term rentals, ideal for house hunters.

Being at the southern most point of the Poitou-Charentes we are located on the borders of three departments making us an ideal location from which to discover the Charente Maritime, the Gironde and the Dordogne.

We are surrounded by vineyards and local distilleries Our Special Interest Holidays, which are tailored to suite individual requirements, include taking you to a vineyard chateau for wine-tasting, a visit to a local distillery, pre-arranged golf, cookery, painting with artist's tuition, fishing and horse-riding. We can arrange walking holidays. For those wishing to improve their french, tuition is available at a very small cost.

The rural green roads and cycle paths make this area a cyclists' paradise both for serious cyclists or families who just want to explore the rolling countryside and sleepy villages, a perfect area for people who do not do much cycling. Along many of the routes you will find famous Cognac distilleries where you can stop off and taste the local aperitif, Pineau des Charentes (grape juice and Cognac). The quiet roads and tracks through woodlands are ideal for walkers and birdwatchers where the Hoopee, Black Redstart, Serin, Black Kite and Zettling Cisticole can all be seen in the area of Le Tatre .
