Welcome to our charming Gite La Frédière *** with large pool.

You will have the sole use of a private garden with a barbecue, picnic table, and benches. A private pontoon by the river offers a unique idyll to picnic or simply listen to the water.
Situated directly on the Saint Compestella pilgrimage route, there are many lovely walks straight from your door. The region offers cycling, canoe, and water ski as well as boat trips on the Charente. The beautiful village of St Savinien has a choice of food shops, a pharmacy, doctors, cinema and a market twice a week (10min drive). The historic valley of Saintonge is enriched by the fascinating, lively market towns of Saintes and St. Jean d'Angely, both of which have great open markets and boast a range of independent shops with a wide choice of restaurants, cafes, cinemas and theaters.
