Le Bourg is a traditional
Charentaise house, formerly a vineyard owner's property. It is located
amongst the vines and sunflowers of the Charente countryside, yet
within easy reach of the beaches around La Rochelle and Royan.
The house is nearly 300 years old and still retains many original
features, including marble fireplaces. Now run as a bed and breakfast /
chambres d'hôtes, there are three guest bedrooms and a private,
secluded swimming pool. As well as breakfast, evening meals are served,
with many of the menus based on recipes collected
during travels around the world. Le Bourg provides the perfect setting
for a
relaxing and comfortable stay in an informal and casual atmosphere. The
village of Mareuil is not far from the popular riverside towns of
Jarnac and Cognac and nearby local activities include
golf, swimming, canoeing, fishing, cycling, river trips, wine
and cognac tasting.
After more than 30 years of
working and living in different parts of the world I have finally set
down roots and made Charente home. It really is a lovely, unspoilt
part of the world. I look forward to welcoming you to Le Bourg and
hope you will enjoy your stay.
