About the home

Detached and recently refurbished villa in an enclosed garden. This house is 70sq/m (750 sq/f) with a shaded wooden decked terrace and a small inviting garden, including your own barbecue and outdoor furniture.

Open plan kitchen/diner and living room with a modern feel, light and bright. One double bedroom on the ground floor with a large attic bedroom suitable for 3 people. Plenty of cupboard storage space.

Modern 'wet room' style shower room with on-demand hot water, with a separate toilet.
The house is newly furnished in a contemporary style - clean and comfortable.

In the area there are many activities for adults and children. Bicycles can be hired in the village (400m) and the extensive dedicated cycle lanes offer safe and beautiful cycling through woodlands all right by the sea....
St Palais' pretty beach is a 5 min walk away, and offers supervised swimming (in season) and is cleaned daily - superb family fun. All restaurants are within easy walking access, so no need for the car in the evenings.

The area is well served for all beach, sea and outdoor activities. Bordeaux is just over an hour and La Rochelle (the most visited city in France) 45mins. Royan's incredible weekly covered market is well worth a visit. Oyster lovers will be in their element.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

The Charente Maritime area of France is situated on the west coast between Nantes and Bordeaux. Charente Maritime nearly boasts as much sunshine as the French Riviera. This is a beautiful region of France where vineyards, oyster farms and beaches abound, not to mention historic places and Romanesque churches.

Safe family beaches with calm waters or endless wild sandy beaches, lined by sand dunes and pine forests, a paradise for nature lovers or watersports enthusiasts, we have them all!

These beaches offer a wide range of watersports (windsurfing, surfing, sailing, pedaloes, jet-ski in Royan, etc)
The aptly named “Wild Coast” - “La Côte Sauvage” stretches out from Saint-Palais to Ronce-les Bains: famous for its waves, it is the meeting point of surfers. All these areas are accessible by bike.

The region is also famous for its cultural heritage: medieval Romanesque churches of all kinds abound. Saintes was one of the halts on the Santiago de Compostella pilgrim route.

The old harbour and the city of La Rochelle, the citadel of Brouage, Rochefort and its maritime heritage, Saintes and its Roman ruins, the pretty town of Talmont, near the Gironde estuary are but a few examples of the cultural wealth of the region.

Last but not least, discover our typical products: try tasty Charentais melons, grown in open fields, Charentaise "galette", fish, shellfish (oysters and mussels are famous here), salt from the local marshes, local wines, Pineau and Cognac ! The vineyards of Cognac are worth a visit.

The Saint Palais sur Mer area

*Seaside resort of great character on the Atlantic coast, just a stone's throw from Royan with its gentle and sunny climate...

*Huge pine forests, five sandy beaches and leafy streets lined with belle-epoque villas, each with their own unique name...

*Young and vibrant with the fun and attractions of a major summer destination - there's always something going on at Saint-Palais-sur-mer, and there's something for everyone!

*An all-year-round relaxing environment makes Saint-Palais-sur-mer the destination of choice for holidays, weekends and short breaks with family or friends...

* The Beaches of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer (http://www.bernezac.com/StPalais_general_uk.htm)
There are four beaches. From the quietest to the more animated, there is a beach to suit everyone in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer.

*Getting away from the beaches, St Palais offers a different face, more reserved but just as authentic.

-Visit the twelfth century Roman church with its exhibitions.

-Check out the quarters of town that were neighbouring villages in times past - the dwellings of farmers and winegrowers. Today they're highly prized locations in which to live for the locals: Courlay, Maine Bertrand, la Ganipote, la Palud, Puyravaud.

-Here you'll get a feel for the side of St Palais more in tune with the lesser known, gentler and more discreet character of the Charentes.

*In the Platin and Nauzin quarters of town you'll find youself surrounded by sumptuous villas called 'fantasies' and the slightly more modest 'chalets' built by rich holiday makers at the turn of the 20th century - the period known in French lore as the 'Belle Epoque'.

Guestbook for Sanibel

A real find and we felt privileged to be one of your first guests - we will certainly recommend you. This was our first visit to Cognac/Bordeaux which we wanted to experience - particularly the "côte sauvage" . A good time to visit Saintes , the colours are spectacular!! (Eva ) July 2009..

Just a quick note to thank you for a great holiday... The bike rental shop you suggested was great, and we can't believe how far we cycled each day! Our 6 yr old couldn't believe there were 'special roads' for bikes (cycle lanes)... So overall a great week away. We'll certainly be back! (Ronan, Sally & the boys)

Great house, great facilities, lovely garden, good location for beaches and exploring local towns

Thank you for all your help and assistance. We had a lovely holiday in a great little resort. The coastal walks you recommended were absolutely beautiful. Best Wishes (Ross and Hazel) September 11
