SURROUNDING AREA: Cognac, with its on-going attachment to the wonderful liquor production, to which it gave its name, is an excellent centre to explore the rest of the Charente and Charente-Maritime areas, as well as being handy for the St Emillion, Bordeaux and Medoc wine producing areas. You can reach the coast within an hour, and from the Gironde estuary up to the old port of La Rochelle, you will find plenty of diversity. You will marvel at the endless fields of sunflowers in the summer, and even more endless vineyards marching across the landscape.
You will be able to wander through timeless villages and hamlets, or take trips up and down the rivers. Evenings in Cognac need never be dull. There are various festivals throughout the year. Four airports within 90 minutes, (new Ryanair link at Angouleme only 30 mins) and TGV links from Cognac throughout the area, and to Paris.
The owners live permanently about 20 minutes away by car, and are happy to help with all aspects of living in France, house hunting, property searches and relocation questions.
