Reviews
Guest reviews displayed below have been taken from the visitors' book left in the property
A very warm welcome from Mr et Mme Brothier with a glass of pineau des Charentes & local biscuits.
The Campion familyThere is a hoopoe living in the village. He (she) can been seen in the mornings sitting on the TV aerials.
The Campion familyTake the little electric water taxis at La Rochelle - saves the feet a little & takes you between the two towers into the harbour.
The Campion familyIf you like oysters & mussels you'll be in heaven, they're everywhere in this area and so cheap compared with home.
The Adams familyTried almond biscuits at the boulangerie and on Sunday they had some very amazing cake/pudding-strawberry & chocolate.
The Taylor familyFor beaches, visit Chatelaillon Plage & Isle d'Oléron which is pretty isle with lots of little fish restaurants.
The Ashworth familyNew baker in town, she's very chatty, likes to teach me new French words, as my French is very bad
The Adams FamilyCoulon in the Marais Poitevin (Venice-verte) well worth a visit for a guided punt ride. Like the Louisiana swamps without the crocodiles! Also recommend Phare de la Coudre if you're brave enough
The Simpson Family
