Home description
Originally a small barn in the classical French courtyard, La Petite Grange has been cleverly converted on different levels into a comfortable 3 person cottage.
The property comprises of a kitchen at ground level. A step up leads to the living / dining area with a single room to the side. The stairs lead up to the shower room and mezzanine double bedroom. The property enjoys a private garden and benefits from easy access to the pool.
This property can fit four with a double bed downstairs if you don’t mind a bit of a squeeze!
Please note that we have six other different but equally charming two-bedroomed cottages on site, as well as a choice of larger or smaller cottages.
Longeveau itself adjoins a small hamlet in a beautiful valley designated by the Michelin Guide as a place of special beauty. Within the grounds, we have a 9 hole golf course, suitably challenging for golfers of all abilities, and three tennis courts. We also have three private swimming pools and a sports barn. A bar, restaurant and terrace are located at the Manoir, enjoying views over the grounds and beyond.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente region
The region is known for it’s great climate with sun drenched summers, rolling green hills and valleys as far as you can see, and all the history you could ever need. The food and drink is superb and the people are welcoming.
The area is a paradise for wine lovers who may wish to visit the numerous chateaux and wine caves on the Bordeaux wine trail.
Aubeterre sur Dronne area
Longeveau is located on the Charente / Dordogne border in a beautiful valley in rural south west France. Nearby villages are full of activity, with places to visit, dine and drink.
The picturesque old Roman town of Aubeterre, which was recently voted one of the prettiest villages in France is only a short drive away. Wander up through the winding streets to the 12th century subterranean church carved out of the rock or enjoy a drink on the village square with it’s variety of shops, eateries museums, all overlooked by a 1000 year old chateau. Alternatively walk down to the river beach for a swim, relax or a bite to eat.
Slightly further are the market towns of Chalais and Riberac (with one of the biggest markets in France!). Further still, about a 45 minute drive, are the capital towns of Angouleme and Perigeux which offer a wider and more sophisticated range of shops in a typically French setting. Brantome, nicknamed the ‘Venice of Perigord’ is well worth a visit and is under an hours drive.
Also within easy reach are towns such as St. Emilion, Bergerac, Cognac and Bordeaux, all famous for their wines and spirits and equally beautiful places to visit. Beyond Bordeaux are the unspoilt beaches of the Atlantic coast with several superb resorts all within a reasonable drive.
Local activities range from walking, sight seeing, fishing, cycling, canoeing or even jet–skiing and quad biking to name but a few. And of course wine tasting and dejustation are a staple part of the French experience!
There are a variety of local festivals, fetes and firework displays that take place throughout the summer in the local villages and towns. These are aimed at all ages and generally take place between the months of June and September.
Children will find plenty to occupy themselves and their families with activities ranging from crazy golf, horse riding and tree top adventure to daytrip’s to the popular attractions of Aqualand Water Park, La Palmyre Zoo and Futurescope.
Longeveau is fortunate to have a number of very good restaurants in the area, ranging from cafés to fine dining. As with everything, our staff will be happy to recommend or help you with decisions or to make reservations for you.
