Les Hauts de Font Moure
Where the vines of Bordeaux meet those of Cognac, in the gently rolling hills above the Gironde estuary our typically ‘charentaise’ holiday home is waiting to to welcome you.
On the ground floor a big south-facing kitchen/dining room, well equipped to cater for a large group. On the other side of the hall a comfortable and equally large sitting room with a fireplace for the odd chilly spring or autumn day. Also a shower room and wc. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms leading off the landing, of which 3 have double beds and the other twin beds, a spacious bathroom and separate wc. Thus we can comfortably accommodate 8 people. Outside, there is a small garden in front of the house, and behind it, a terrace for breakfast with steps leading down to a lawn and then to the pool, which you will occasionally have to share with us who live just next door. There is a large gravel area for parking plus an area under cover.
The house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers, corn and of course vineyards. Whilst you are here you could just relax and wind down, but there is so much to discover in this calm and unspoilt part of France that you won’t have time to get bored. The romanesque churches of Saintonge, fishing ports on the estuary, Blaye and its citadel and then there are all those wines to taste. We are situated only 10 minutes drive from exit 37 of the A10 motorway, within easy reach of La Rochelle, Saintes, Cognac and Bordeaux, not forgetting the atlantic beaches.
