Chez Rillat
Montboyer

France
Some
of you may remember one of our old members Woolie, who has set up home
in the south of France running a bed and breafrast as well as a lovely
selfcatering cottage that sleeps 6. Located between Montboyer and Chalais
just south of Angouleme, in a beautifull part of France.
At about 500 miles down from Calais or 380 miles from Le Harve. It is
an ideal place to stop over a couple of nights or just one night on
the way to the south or into Spain.
A beautifully restored Charentaise cottage with views over open countryside and the garden. The ancient village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is close by. Visit the various river and lake beaches which are close by and are all child friendly. There is also golf, horse-riding, canoeing etc.The Atlantic coast is an hour and 15 minutes away. You can visit the local vineyards and sample the speciality of the Charente; Pineau. Trust us it's good! Visit the underground caves, explore little villages nestling on the banks of rivers, or drive to one of the towns close by and treat yourselves to some retail therapy. House hunting, then we can introduce you to the local agents and help with info on the area. But if it's rest you want then find a shady spot, a glass of wine and read that book you've never seem to find time for. Watch the magpies hassle our chickens for their dinner and the pretty French birds looking for titbits (feathered variety!). In the evening dine alfresco under the stars.
