Paddle boarding and canoeing - all levels. If you choose your number of hours you want to do the friendly staff will pack you and your canoes into the van and drop you down the river with a map to make your way back - such a great idea! Stunning countryside and villages to see from the river. We went with the whole family - packed a lunch and had a great day.

If you order your bikes ahead they will drop them off at the house for the duration of your stay. English spoken so no worries if your French isn't up to it! Ride around the vines and get out to lunch or have a picnic on the banks of the Charente.

Amazing pool complex - great for winter day or summer day out. There are plenty of pools for everyone- fountains- river current area- olympic pool and kid's area. In the summer it opens up for an outdoor wave pool and lazy river. Careful - if you bring kids you may never leave!!

Look for the Chateau de Rochefoucauld. Wonderful current day castle. There are dressing up clothes on the top floor and if you want to get in the spirit - the kids (and you) can dress up like nobility to take the tour. We met the Duchess herself and she encouraged us to dress up with our American cousins - it was a total laugh. Recommend it! It wasn't remotely crowded. Afterwards wander into town and find a nice lunch in the many restaurants.
