The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vienne region
The Vienne, with its two major river systems of the Charente and Vienne, is an area of varied natural beauty and extensive history. Visitors who are looking for either complete relaxation or activity will not be disappointed.
With its exceptional climate, second only to the South of France, the beautiful countryside lends itself to rambling, cycling, water sport and most other forms of gentle exercise.
The two major attractions of Futuroscope and Monkey Valley are close by. If it’s history you are looking for then look no further as this part of France has been fought over from Roman times onward.

The Couhe / Vaux en Couhe area
La Ferme des Châtaigniers (Sweet chestnut tree farm) nestles in the pretty little hamlet of Les Chaumes (The thatches) in the heart of the gently undulating countryside of the Vienne.
Our picturesque village of Vaux en Couhe boasts a lake, picnic area and straddling the river an 18th century communal washing area.
The bar and restaurant serves excellent value for money food and is open for lunch throughout the year and for dinner during the holiday season.

It has never been easier to get to this beautiful part of France. Our location in the Vienne Department is served by a major road network extending from the channel ports almost to our door. Driving time from the ports is now a mere four to five hours.
Budget Airlines have also made a great difference to accessibility, with daily flights to Poitiers, all year round, and to other nearby airports from May onward.
Or why not consider letting the train take the strain. Eurostar to Paris and TGV to Poitiers.
An alternative is to fly budget to Paris Charles De Gaulle and jump on a TGV in the airport direct to Poitiers in about 2 hours. The choices for getting here are endless.
During the holiday period there are now numerous budget airlines flying to this part of France. We have four airports conveniently located to us, Poitiers (30 minutes drive), Limoges (1 hour 20 minutes), Angouleme (1 hour 10 minutes) and La Rochelle (1 hour 35 minutes).

This is without question the best Gite we have ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. This was the first time I've ever had a Kitchen almost as well equiped as my own at home, and it was just brilliant. The Pool was amazing and we cannot recommend this Gite enough. Fantastic place and amazing owners on site.

We have travelled extensively in this part of France and have never stayed in such perfect accommodation. It is a testament to how good it is that we will definitely return - and in more than 20 years holidaying that is something we have never done before..
