Everything is at hand, the area is swamped with beauty and history, vineyards (that produce wine, pineau and cognac), beaches, lovely countryside and a sense of well being.

Montendre caters very much for families and the facilities also include a nine-hole golf course and a beautiful lake and leisure complex sprawling amongst the pines at the edge of the forest with a beach and supervised swimming for the youngsters (July & August). There is also boating and quiet places to fish, picnic areas, an open air swimming pool, a children's playground and a restaurant. Royan, Angouleme, Auberterre and Talmont, Cognac, St Emilion and Bordeaux are all within easy driving distance.

Accommodation consists of four comfortable rooms in the main house (including a large family room). All rooms have their own ensuite with shower, wash basin and toilet.

Montplaisir is in southern Charente Maritime part of the Poitou Charente Department, just on the edge of the town of Montendre and within a few miles of the Dordogne and Aquitaine.

Montplaisir is on the D19 and just 20 minutes from the A10 (and easy to find.) Both are the main roads to the South and Spain. It is ideal for a half way stopover.

In addition to our Chambres d'Hotes we are pleased to offer an evening meal on the traditional Tabled'Hote basis.

Montplaisir is a lovely old house, built over 140 years ago. It is set in over two acres of lawn and shaded wooded areas. The gardens are ideal for for lazing away on a summers day or enjoying wine by candlelight on a balmy evening. We even have a small, above ground swimming pool (21ft x 12 ft), to cool you off on hot sunny days

Close to local amenities it is an ideal location for holidaying in this glorious part of France either on a Bed & Breakfast vacation or half board.
