Plus plenty more....
Although we are rurally situated and, yes, we all just want to laze about on our holiday, there is actually plenty to do for those who want to get and about, especially if you have children. The list is rather long so above we have highlighted the closest and most popular. You feel creative visit Ceramique de Charmé, there is also horse riding in Lizant at Les Boutiers, Nautilus in Angouleme with its numerous indoor and outdoor pools, ice-skating, windsurfing and sailing, Giants of the Sky, nature and wildlife parks, Angouleme City, Poitiers City and Cognac. Fabulous river and lake beaches are between 10 mins away in Ruffec (with Kayaking) plus accrobracnhing and Canoeing at Taizie Aizie. La Rejallant is on the river, 5 minutes away where this is a cafe/restaurant, Villefagnan has a lake with a beach and a snack bar, both have play areas. St Macoux is 15 minutes away, again with swimming and a snack bar. La Payre is about a 20 minute drive and has boats to take a small trip through a small canal, open air swimming pool with slide, small go-karts and play area worth a trip. Cognac town and surrounding areas are worth a visit and you can always go on a tour and do some Cognac and Pineau sampling. If you are a golfer there are plenty of golf courses nearby such as Golf du Cognac, L'Hirondelle in Angouleme, Golf de Preze at Montbron plus more nearer the coast. And for the fishermen plenty of lakes and rivers.
Further afield are the lakes of the Haut Charente. La Rochelle and other beautiful coastal resorts are within easy reach, plus the less busy St George de Didon that has catamaran sailing and you can also visit the Forest of Sensation and Adventures. All information can be found at the gite.
