La Cour de Husson - Gîte no.1 - Self-catering house in Charente
5 Route de Husson, 16140 Charmé, Charente
Poitou - Charentes,
Francia
The pretty pale stone and wooden shutters are redolent of so many buildings in France but the fresh and vibrant interiors are a breath of fresh air. There's a light, arty feel with some beautiful mid-century pieces and splashes of abstract colour on the walls here and there. The large kitchen is a boon for those who love to cook and the owners offer a fridge-fill service and two breakfasts if you stay a week - all vegan.
Roomy bedrooms (one downstairs with direct access to the little private terrace at the back of the house) are charming and one has a balcony - perfect for coffee while gazing over the sunflower fields. A string of lights lead you down a secret path to the pool and you can also use the big courtyard, garden and orchard.
Walk, cycle, visit nearby villages and towns, take a day trip to Angoulême for shops, museums and galleries.

Local points of interest from Jen & Nick Thompson:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Jen & Nick Thompson:
- You can be winding down the stunning River Charente on a kayak or paddleboard within 15 minutes from the house.
- We have the most incredible sunrises and sunsets, watch from the balcony with a coffee or a glass from wine!
- Walk to the area renowned Gateaux in 30 minutes or a 2 minute drive. It's a very sought after tea room and flower shop, they have a huge array of homemade cakes every day, always with at least one vegan option too. Definitely worth a visit or three.
- Take a walk through the sunflower fields which surround the house and whole area in the summer, it's really quite magical walking amongst them.
- Let us book you a local cognac tasting tour, we are surrounded by Cognac vineyards and there are lots of wonderful distilleries in the area that offer tours and more importantly tastings!
