Le Petit Bosquet - Self-catering house in Charente
2 Chemin du Pontour, 16170 Genac, Charente
Poitou - Charentes,
France
This is the kind of house that even on a dull day has plenty of space and light. Walk straight into a hallway with lovely floor tiles and a curved wooden staircase, then an elegant, comfortable living room with open fire, a big kitchen (with a welcome hamper) and dining room for convivial cooking and eating. Lofty windows illuminate some truly beautiful furniture and pictures. Patrice has chosen carefully and with exquisite taste.
Bedrooms are on the first floor, all different but with gorgeous views - one across the sunflower fields in summer. Beds have thick mattresses and toppers, colours are warm and muted, bathrooms (one up, one down) have stone tiles and are immaculate. In summer you'll be cooling in the pool, or eating in the covered dining area under fairy lights or taking a picnic to the little orchard.
You can walk to the village shop for fresh bread and essentials, or the little market town of Aigre is only a short drive and has an excellent weekly market full of farm produce.

Local points of interest from Patrice Bevans:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Patrice Bevans:
- The Charente river winds its way through the countryside a short bike ride or a drive away...kayaking and canoeing awaits under a green leafy canopy to explore the charming riverside villages- the perfect thing on a hot summer afternoon
- The grand Rouillac "27 Market" takes over the entire town every month on the 27th & features everything from farm animals to fresh produce & everything in between. Don't miss out on this classic country market. but go early...its a wildly popular day out!
- Surrounded by vines, Le Petit Bosquet is less than 5 minutes away to producers of Cognac & the regional favourite Pineau des Charentes. Let us introduce you to our neighbouring distillers who offer personal tours & tastings of their very special Spirits.
- For the culture vultures, the magnificent Roman Amphitheater at Les Bouchauds is set in a natural bowl surrounded by lush country greenery and just a hop, skip and a jump from Le Petit Bosquet.
- The buzzing and trendy city of Angouleme is just 20 mins away and offers an eclectic mix for the foodies in your family. Soak up a little cafe culture, museum hop and shop the boutiques in this pretty hill-top town.
- A drive through the vines takes you to Cognac and Jarnac where you can visit the premiere Cognac makers & tour their prestigious river-side facilities, with a very worth-while detour at the well-presented Museum of Cognac. Cheers to that!
