An Oasis of Discovery

Set in an idyllic riverside location on the southern border of the Charente and Charente Maritime in sunny South West France,  Le Coin Arboré is the ideal place to get in the holiday mood, whether you want to just relax by the large sunny pool or explore the local countryside & market towns, enjoy simple barbeques on the terrace or sample the delights of different restaurants & bars. On-site dining is also available if you want to spoil yourselves one evening & not worry about driving!

Beauvallon Lagoon with its lovely clear aqua blue lake & manmade beach is just 10 minutes, a great place to enjoy a swim, mess around in  pedallos, have a drink at the bar or eat at the BBQ restaurant. Or Brossac Lakes is nearby for many more outdoor activities & panoramic views of the lake from the restaurant/bar. For high energy fun try 'le lac de frisson' for jet skiing & quad biking, or the moto-sport circuit near Martron.  For food & wine lovers, it's an opportunity to sample the regional  specialities as well as great wine, pineau & cognac, from traditional street markets & local producers, to famous chateaux.  At night, you can enjoy the simple ambience of  local bars & restaurants or treat yourself to gastronomic dining at places such as the renowned Chateau restaurant at Chalais.

Many interesting places to visit further afield, such as, Aubeterre, Cognac, Jonzac, Blaye, St. Emillion & Bordeaux & the fantastic beaches & resorts along the the estuary & Atlantic coast, from quaint Talmont, the extensive golden sands at Royan onto pretty coastal spots on the côte sauvage, such as St Palais sur mer.

Just a few comments from our guests...

Wonderfully relaxing two weeks in this rural idyll!!. Great for a family with two young teenage kids; plenty of space for us to spread out.
A real home-from-home with everything we need.
A real 'extra' to be able to eat in and sample Carole's great cooking!....

Found on the internet, descriptions and pictures sounded and looked promising....and the result was beyond expectations! What a lovely place this is! We had a wonderful and very relaxing week.  Thanks for all the good care.  We'll spread the word in Holland for sure.

Welcome to Le Coin Arboré, a lovely traditional stone Charentais farmhouse with spacious comfortable gite accommodation for up to 6 people. South-facing with views across the pool & a private covered outdoor terrace with gas barbeque for al fresco dining day & night. Lots of rustic charm combined with high quality furnishings & all modern amenities.

Specially designed so there's plenty of space for families or a group of friends to make themeselves at home, yet ideal as an intimate retreat for couples to take a break away from it all.  One couple even spent their honeymoon here!

Open from April to October, it's a great place to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle, excellent cuisine & wide variety of fêtes & festivals in the Charente & Charente Maritme throughout the seasons.
