Charente holiday rental gites in Cognac, Poitou-Charentes, France
Le Moulin de Chazotte is a French watermill dating back to the 15th which has been lovingly restored to create four exclusive and high quality self catering holiday gites in a wonderful setting in the Charente department of France. Each gite enjoys access to all the grounds and facilities, has its own private terrace with barbecue and has full use of the large heated and floodlit swimming pool (12m x 6m), plus an indoor and outdoor games area. Be sure to visit Cognac and the surroundings towns in the area, such as Angoulême and Saintes which are steeped in Roman and Medieval history with fascinating architecture and markets. Fantastic sea-food restaurants and sandy beaches can be found at Royan only an hour’s drive away. There are many activities to keep any holiday-maker occupied including on site including badminton, canoeing, cycling (some bikes available), swings, table-tennis, table-football, and boules. In addition there is a 7 acre play field which is ideal for football, kites, rounders and golf practice.
L'Abricotier is located in half of the grand main building (belle demeure) with its own separate entrance via an arched doorway at the West end of the mill. The property is named after a wonderful apricot tree which was growing against the west-facing wall but which unfortunately didn't survive the builders who re-rendered the wall for us. L'Abricotier was formerly the coach-house and has an interesting split-level ground floor arrangement. The building features lots of exposed stonework internally and also exposed roof and ceiling beams.
