Nestled
between the historic towns of Cognac
and Saintes,
on the banks of the Charente River, blessed with its unique micro
climate, making it the second sunniest region in France, is the picturesque
village of Dompierre sur Charente. Le Logis (Manor House), an old
Cognac distillerie has been sympathetically restored to its former
glory by its present English owners.
Surrounded by vineyards and sunflower fields, half an
hour from the beach by car and with a wealth of family activities
and places of interest on the doorstep, Gites du Logis offers an ideal
location for a vacation in France.
The
Manor House dates back to 1471. It has been home to "Seigneurs"
up until the Revolution, its most famous guest in 1590, being Henry
IV, King of France.
The newly renovated distillerie has been converted into
a stunning 3 gite holiday complex, offering superb facilities for
all generations, including a gym, bar, pool, gamesroom, kids play
area, and pet corner.
Gites du Logis offers a relaxed environment and its facilities make
it a great venue for groups. Golf, Yoga, Painting etc groups are welcomed.
