The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente region

La Voute is situated near the village of Mainzac which is mid-way between Angouleme and Brantome on the border of the Charente and Dordogne, on the edge of the Perigord/Limousin natural park. The area is renowned for its gourmet food and local produce including fois gras, truffles and the delightful local aperitif, Pineau.
We are surrounded by picturesque villages, chateaux, working mills, prehistoric caves, churches and vineyards.

The Angouleme area

Angouleme is a historic walled city, home of the National Comics and Image Centre and the venue of the historic vintage car race 'Circuit des Ramparts' in the autumn. There is a wide choice of gourmet restaurants, bars and shops.
The gite is 3km from restaurants and bars in Haute-Faye, Marthon, Charras, Varignes and Javerlhac. The market towns of Montbron, Piegut, Nontron and La Rochefoucald, with its beautiful chateau, restaurants, shops and brocantes, are within a 10 to 30 minute drive away. Many of the local restaurants offer 5 course lunches with wine for around €14.
The towns of Perigueux, Aubeterre and the world famous Cognac are all within easy reach. The coast at Royan and La Rochelle, with its beautiful beaches, is 1½ hours away.

“The best family holiday we have had in France” We have just returned from the best family holiday we have had in France, the gite, the swimming pool, the dogs and horses and Paula and John have all been fantastic. There is lots to see and do in the local area it kept us busy for 2 weeks and there is more we would like to come back and do. We hope to return again and would definitely recommend La Belena. Thank you again Paula and John the information you gave us of things going on in the local area helped us to experience a bit of real French life. The Fletcher Family, Pool-in-Wharfedale

Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The gite is perfect, you asked if we had any suggestions to improve it, but we dont because you have thought of everything. We will definitely recommend this location.
