About the home

Traditional Charentais barn, recently restored. Located in the middle of the Village, off a quiet lane, close to all amenities in the heart of the Cognac vineyards.

The Village of Reparsac is located half way between the towns of Jarnac and Cognac (both are about 10 mins away). Both towns have lots to offer and are located on the famous Charente river. Cognac has a lovely park area alongside the river with a fantastic play area for the kids. 30 mins drive from the historic city of Angouleme, with its old town full of lovely restaurants. On the outskirts you will find a fantastic swimming lake with its own beach and watersports available. There are also many other bathing lakes and beautiful clean rivers to swim in.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The barn itself comprises of two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms also has a bunkbed in it - ideal for the kids. An additional mattress and baby cot are also available should you wish to use the other bedroom for a family room. Ideal for two familes sharing. The upstairs boasts open ceilings with feature trusses.

Downstairs is a large lounge with a traditional Charentais fireplace with log burner, very comfortable sofa bed, TV with Satellite receiver and patio doors. The separate kitchen has a spacious dining area. It is fully equipped with modern appliances built around original features such as another Charente fireplace and an original stone thrawl.

Outside there is a very private yard area (a real sun trap) and a private parking area. New 2011 a 4m x 2m x 0.8m high swimming pool. There is also additional parking opposite if required.

Further details outdoors:
Very secluded yard area, south facing. Gates can be shut to make it very private. There is parking for one car within this area along with two further spaces opposite. New to 2011 is a 4m x 2m x 0.8m high swimming pool, ready for your use. There are also two adult bikes and several childrens bikes available for your use.

This part of France has loads to offer - you can switch off and enjoy the French way of life or you can go sightseeing and visit some of the historic towns located nearby such as Cognac, Jarnac, Angouleme, Saintes, La Rochelle or Jonzac. Alternatively explore the local countryside and discover the vineyards and chateaus of the region or maybe spend a day at the beach at St George de Didone, which is less than 60 mins away. During the summer months there are numerous rivers to explore, some with their own beaches to bathe in.

For evening entertainment there are lots of good local restaurants to whet your appetite (don't forget your glass of Pineau), bars to enjoy a drink or two and you don't need to look to hard to find a village festival to enjoy.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente region

The Charente Maritime is renowned for its warm & sunny summers. It is a diverse region which includes beautiful beaches, islands, coastal ports and villages along with a diverse and scenic country more inland.

Inland you find a landscape dotted with vineyards, medieval towns and villages full of history and heritage. Must sees include La Rochelle, Ile de Re, Ile d'Oleron, Angouleme, Futurescope (Poitiers), La Palmyre (Zoo) and much more.

The Cognac area

Cognac and Jarnac (both only 10 mins away) are famous for the cognac and pineau distilleries such as Remy martin and Hennesay. These distilleries are open to the public. Try one of the Cognac routes and go and visit the Chateau's of the region and try some of the local brew or take a walk around these lovely old towns which are full of history and character.

Alternatively you can hire a boat or canoe and cruise the Charente river. Other activities include walking, cycling, fishing, golf, horse riding, tennis, water skiing and swimming (there are open air pools at both Cognac and Jarnac). We fully recommend swimming in the rivers, there are numerous delightful bathing areas, some with their own beaches! Or simply sample some of the culinary delights of the numerous local restaurants. Cognac hosts numerous festivals in the summer including a world renowned Blues Festival in early July (this year including ZZ Top, Jamie Cullum, Texas and Moby!).

The area is great for cycling and bikes are a great way to explore the area. There are two adult bikes and several children's bikes available for your use.
