High-quality accommodation in Charente-Maritime for a short stopover or for your holidays
This is a very pleasant hotel just around the corner from our store. Formerly a post and stagecoach inn, this unique hotel located in the city of Saintes was built entirely from Charente stone in the 17th century. During your stay Virginie and Laurent, the hotelkeepers, will offer a quiet atmosphere. The bedrooms are all differently decorated and open onto the hotel's inner courtyard or onto charming pedestrian backstreets.

You need a rest, some peace and quiet and a friendly atmosphere? Marie-Pierre and Fabrice will be delighted to welcome you into their home which is located 12 km from Saintes, right in the middle of the country, not far from the energy of the ocean. The guest bedrooms in their house are very tastefully decorated, each one based on a particular theme - water, earth, air and fire. It's a wonderful place to recharge your batteries, even during a short stay. Marie-Pierre and Fabrice will also give you advice on how to discover the region's treasures.
If you are looking for a guest house right in the centre of Saintes, you will love this old house whose owners have skilfully combined the comforts of the modern world with the charms of the past.
Those of you who like eating at "tables d'hôtes" will enjoy their refined cuisine and discover the local produce.
The Château de L'Yeuse, a hotel with character and a gourmet restaurant, is located in the outskirts of Cognac. Gracious living and relaxation - this is the best way to describe the atmosphere at this hotel-restaurant where we had the pleasure of discovering a very good white Charente wine (Domaine Cazulet).
This very well-designed website provides the addresses of hotels, guesthouses (chambres d'hôtes), restaurants, etc. and will help you plan your trip to Charente-Maritime and other parts of France. You will find useful information and advice in the sections "Heritage", "Going out" and "Directory".
