These privately owned attractive gites are in the peaceful rural hamlet
of Chez Baillargeon, near to the village of Londigny, in the heart
of the Charentaise countryside in South West France.
This area of France abounds in historic sites and buildings notably rich in Romanesque architecture. Then there are the many colourful local markets to explore with speciality foods and wines to sample. We can advise you about local restaurants or you may prefer to enjoy your purchases, with a sample of our organic home-grown vegetables, “chez-vous”. An excellent choice of major supermarkets can be found within 15 minutes drive, with a boulangerie and bar/restaurant a little closer to your gite.

about amenities
This is a beautiful area of South West France for a relaxing quiet holiday enjoying French country living yet the buzz of café life is not too far away. Near to your Charente holiday cottage there are lakes with beaches in Villefagnan and Sauze-Vaussais and the well-known leisure area of Le Rejallant in Ruffec with a restaurant, and swimming and canoeing on the quiet River Charente. We are equidistant from the ancient cities of Poitiers and Angouleme with their winding cobbled streets and lots of restaurants and bistros to sample. The historic and chic seaside city of La Rochelle is about 90 minutes drive with the famous beaches of Royan a similar distance. We can tell you about other lovely beaches mainly known only to the French – after all this area is said to have one of the highest sunshine records in France. Don't forget the theme park of Futuroscope (Poitiers), Puy du Fou with it's medieval spectacles, and the wonderful zoos at the Vallee des Singes and La Palmyre. Another way to enjoy the weather is to slowly wind your way by boat along the lovely canals of the Marais Poitevin (the Green Venice of France) with it's wealth of plant and wildlife. There are many local fetes to choose from throughout the summer like the International Festival of Dance and Music held each August in Confolens where street theatre abounds.
