Welcome to Les Petits Coins

Set in  the  heart  of  the small  village of Semoussac,  in  the  Charente  Maritime  region  of France,  "Les Petits  Coins"  was  originally  a   typical  Charentaise village farm.    It  has now  been  lovingly  restored  and  comprises  three pretty,  stone  cottages  and a converted  barn apartment  which  are  available for holiday rentals. Though surrounded by open countryside, we are only 10 minutes drive from the market town of Mirambeau, so shops and restaurants are within easy reach.

 Essentially a wine producing  area,  the  region  offers  beautiful, rolling countryside, air that is clear & clean, a micro-climate  with around  2700  hours of  sunshine a year,  and a bounty of winding lanes and  unsophisticated villages. Add to this the golden, sandy beaches of Royan & St. Georges (about 35 minutes drive away) and you have all the ingredients for a perfect holiday.

There’s lots to do & see in the area:-  

• Within easy reach of many well-known towns - Bordeaux, Cognac, Royan, Saintes etc
  

• Sporting facilities nearby - golf, tennis, horse-riding, water-sports,  fishing.  
  

• Village boules area just behind the house  
  

• Bicycles available to borrow  
  

• Or simply relax by the salt-water swimming pool, (heated for early & late holidays) soaking up the warm sunshine & the tranquil atmosphere.    Paradise!

Getting here is easy:-

By car & ferry - 

We are around 4-5 hours drive from the ferry port of St. Malo, around 6 hours from Caen and 7 hours  from Cherbourg.   

By plane -

Bordeaux airport  (served by British Airways, Air France, BMIbaby  EasyJet & others) and  La Rochelle airport (served by Ryanair)  are both about an hour's drive away and just a bit further away are Poiters, and Bergerac airports also served by Ryanair and Limoges airport served by Ryanair and Flybe.
