Location

Our houses are located in the country side between the towns of Gemozac and Cozes. They are only a 15 minute drive from the extensive sandy beaches of Royan and St. Georges de Didonnes and the smaller more intimate coves of the Gironde Estuary. The region has its own micro climate (due to the effects of the Gulf Stream) and as a result receives the second highest number of sunshine hours of any region of France. This gives us an extended season from April-May through to October.

Due to the numerous budget airlines travel to our region has become much easier and cheaper. Click here to view travel options.

Our properties are well appointed for local shops, bars, restaurants and markets, further information on which will be provided after reservation depending on which property you have booked.
