About the home
La Grange has been beautifully renovated to produce a stunning gite which successfully blends contemporary and traditional features. Share the tranquility and the wonderful climate of the Charente Maritime - relax in an idyllic setting in Poitou-Charentes. Our luxury family-friendly gites and chambres d'hôte are nestled in the heart of the 'Grande Champagne', the grape growing region that produces the world renowned Cognac brandy and the local aperitif, pineau.
La Grange is located in six acres of well-maintained, landcaped grounds on the outskirts of Brives sur Charente, just ten minutes' drive from Cognac. Quiet and peaceful, the gite has easy access to all amenities, including local markets for bargain hunting, and many excellent restaurants for eating out.
La Grange benefits from having lots of honey-coloured stone walls and traditional oak beams (in 100M2). La Grange has two bedrooms upstairs and a shower/toilet room. Downstairs, there is a large lounge/kitchen/diner (with a sofa bed) with a washing room and an additional toilet leading to an additional bedroom (with double bed and en-suite shower). Upstairs there is a further double (king size bed) and one large, twin bedroom, the gite is ideal for families. The gite enjoys shared use of a large, floodlit swimming pool, children's play area, table-tennis table, boule and badminton courts and gym.
We are minutes away from a superb choice of local restaurants and some thirty minutes' drive from the superb beaches of the Cote Sauvage. There is a mouth-watering choice of places to visit locally (the beautiful beaches of the Cote Sauvage, Royan, La Rochelle, Cognac, Pons, Saintes, Angouleme, Bordeaux, La Palmyre Zoo and sleepy villages) and a host of activities, including walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, horse-riding, golf, tennis, swimming and surfing. You can enjoy a relaxing walk or cycle ride to the nearby villages for your breakfast croissants or bread.
We hope you will choose Gites de Brives to savour what France has to offer the discerning visitor with something for the whole family!

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region
The Charente Maritime enjoys fantastic weather! The Charente Maritime is the second sunniest region of France, after the Mediterranean; we enjoy a quite superb micro-climate. We also have short but cold winters - so we have the best of both worlds!
Dining alfresco and enjoying the long warm evenings while you are on holiday is the stuff memories are made of...
The Brives-sur-Charente area
The surrounding area has a great deal to offer from the buzzing town of Cognac (lots of cafes and boutique shops, not forgetting the world-famous distillery tours - Hennessy, Otard, Remy-Martin, Martell and Camus!), to the beautiful ancient towns of Pons and Saintes. Weekly local markets are held in Cognac, Pons and Saintes. There are a multitude of local restaurants and bars all within an easy drive. Some are (luckily!) only about 15 minutes by bike.
The beautiful beaches of St George-de-Didonne and St Palais-sur-Mer are a 30 minute drive way and La Palmyre Zoo (one of the biggest zoos in Europe with over 1600 animals to delight all the family) is about an hour's drive.

Guestbook for La Grange
'We found the gites at Brives an absolute haven of calm and tranquility. This was a wonderful contrast to our busy life at home and our two weeks were a wonderful break. Phil and Glyn, you were excellent hosts who were always available when required. The facilities in the gites were well beyond our expectations and had everything you could need for a family holiday. The pool and 'games' you provided also gave the children lots to do.'
Julian, Caroline & Family - Herts., UK 2010
'Just to say thanks a million for a great stay with you both. The accommodation was top notch and we will certainly recommend you to friends travelling to the area.'
Kimmitt, Edel & Family - Drogheda, Louth, Ireland 2010
'Visiting your beautiful 'domain' was like going back in time. We know quite a few other aussies (and poms!) who will be staying with you next year. What a wonderful end to the European 'leg' of our trip. Can't wait to bring the rest of the family in 2011!'
