The name means 'the lost stream' and the wells are here still. Two centuries old, in three acres of peaceful meadow down a little lane, your charming gîte was once half cattle stall, half cottage – roofless when Alison and Francis took it on. Step into an interior of honey coloured stone and paint-washed floorboards, thick French linen draped at sweet windows and charming paint hues executed with perfection. Downstairs are the living areas and a cook's dream of a kitchen with every mod con, upstairs are bedrooms with delicious rafters. For winter cosiness: heated floors and a toasty wood-burner in the beautiful Charentais fireplace. All feels fresh, rustic, spotless; an old armoire here, a chic basin there, country checks and elegant toile de Jouy, and art by the English owners. Sniff the scent of roses and lavender in the summer sun, cool off in the salt water pool that sits next to a sturdy oak hangar. Stray beyond these delights and you come to the sands at La Rochelle and the exciting Futuroscope at Poitiers. Francis and Alison, a lovely couple, live nearby. Shops and restaurants are a short drive.

Local points of interest from Francis & Alison Hudson:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Francis & Alison Hudson:
- Guests with little ones really appreciate our baby kit. This includes a cot & bedding, high chair, buggy, baby bath, paddling pool & is supplied free of charge. Bikes with child seats, kids trailer and safety helmets are also available.
- Fabulous countryside walks along limestone 'chemins blancs' bordering fields of sunflowers and sweet chestnut groves. Take one of our bikes out in the morning sunshine and bring back fresh bread and croissants from the local boulangerie.
- There's a wealth of local 'brocantes' and 'vide greniers' to forage for wonderful gems of French bric a brac. Why not join the locals for a long lunch at the traditional 'mechoui' (spit roast) and discuss the origins of your found treasures !
- For a cosmopolitan hit, café culture and a spot of shopping therapy, there’s the beautiful Medieval towns of Cognac, Angoulême, Poitiers and the chic port of La Rochelle all within easy reach.
- Set in the heart of the 'Pays d'Art et d'Histoire' of the Pays Mellois. Peppered with delightful Romanesque churches which become the focus for 'Les Nuits Romanes' - a rich array of quality concerts and performances throughout the summer months.
- We’ll tell you about small producers of Cognac and ‘Pineau des Charentes’ but we’ll leave the delight of discovering hidden gems of the little known but exceedingly good wines of the Poitou-Charentes to you!
