Le Manoir de Longeveau is a former Cognac Estate on the Charente / Dordogne border, nestled in a valley designated by the Michelin guide as ‘A Place of Special Beauty’!
 
Longeveau offers a selection of thoughtfully renovated stone cottages with an excellent range of facilities, including a multi-national Golf Club, Tennis courts, Bar/ Clubhouse & Restaurant, Heated Swimming Pools and Children's play areas.
 
We are only a bike ride to one of the prettiest villages in France, with nearby river beaches, restaurants, historic sites, vineyards and plenty more. Le Manoir de Longeveau offers you a unique opportunity to relax, refresh and enjoy our little corner of paradise!

 

Bar / Clubhouse
 
Stop for a morning coffee, perhaps after an early morning swim in our heated pool, or a post golf cool down with an ice cold beer and some big screen sport. Alternatively, catch up with your friends or find some respite with your book/Kindle/ipad! Our clubhouse bar at Longeveau offers wonderful views across the tennis courts, golf course and open countryside. It is an eclectic mix of rustic French pub and contemporary bar, a special find in the rural Charente!
 
We offer a great selection of wines and drinks to suit all tastes and ages. Visitors can enjoy their food and drink from the comfort of a sofa or sit on the bar’s veranda and terraced areas with an enviable vantage point over the grounds. Most major sporting events can be viewed on the bar's TV. We open the bar every day throughout the summer and offer wine tasting nights, welcome dinners, BBQs and more. Please get in touch for further details.
 
 
Restaurant
 
Our restaurant opens seasonally offering a selection of local dishes, served in the Manoir or on our west facing terrace. Other options available throughout the season include pizzas.   In high and peak season our weekly BBQ nights guests unwind and children serve themselves at their own children's bar, get tucked into the fancy dress box and challenge the oldies to a game of football on the tennis courts!
 
Lunch box style kiddie hampers are available daily and there is a selection of organic baby foods for younger guests, as well as the option to have mini versions of menu items or select from the children's menu. We supply high chairs and ‘colouring in’ to keep everyone happy. 
 
We offer a daily delivery of fresh bread and viennoiseries (breakfast pastries) for collection from the our clubhouse every morning from 08h30.
 
 
Swimming Pools
 
We have several swimming pools available for the sole use of residents staying at Longeveau. Our main pool (12m) is heated and accompanied by a smaller children’s splash pool. There are plenty of sun loungers available for relaxing and the surrounding gardens are well tended.
 
Properties at L'Hameau development share another heated pool, and properties at Old Puygironde share a pool - with amazing views! Pressoir de Pierre and L'Olivier share a heated pool. Plus there are also private heated pools with L'Emilienne, Merisier, Catalpa and Lavoir. All pools at Longeveau are securely fenced and gated, with safety in mind.
 
 
Children’s play areas
 
We have two children’s play areas at Longeveau, plus a indoor room with toys and arts & crafts materials so you can get creative!  The main play area is fully fenced with an amazing new climbing frame, swings, slides etc. Adjacent the bar and terrace we have a toddlers play area, to keep our littlest guests happy! This also happens to be great for preventing escapees - while you are enjoying a relaxing drink or bite to eat! A secret play house can also be found in the back garden of the Manoir!
 
 
Golf d’Aubeterre
 
Nestled in a beautiful valley on the Charente / Dordogne border and set within the grounds of the Longeveau estate, our 9 hole, par 64 (2x32) golf course offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities. The greens and tees are fully irrigated and there are plenty of bunkers and other obstacles that come into play. We pride ourselves on the quality of our course, with a fleet of machinery to the keep the course in top condition.
 
Daily, weekly and annual rates are available with discounted green fees for residents staying at Longeveau. Equipment hire, supplies and tuition are available from the bar-clubhouse.
 
Tennis at Longeveau
 
Le Manoir de Longeveau provides the perfect setting for a game of tennis. We have three all-weather tennis courts, two of them floodlit, attractively landscaped into the sloping ground below the clubhouse. The courts are open throughout the year and the tennis can be as serious or relaxed as you wish.

Local Attractions

The region is known for it’s great climate with sun drenched summers, rolling green hills and valleys as far as you can see, plus all the history you could ever need. The food and drink is superb and the people are welcoming. The area is a paradise for wine lovers who may wish to visit the numerous chateaux and wine caves on the Bordeaux wine trail.

Longeveau itself is located on the Charente / Dordogne border in a beautiful valley in rural South West France. Nearby villages are full of activity, with places to visit, dine and drink. The picturesque old Roman town of Aubeterre, which was recently voted one of the prettiest villages in France, is only a bike ride away. Discover the 12th century subterranean church carved out of the rock or enjoy a drink on the village square with it’s variety of shops, eateries and museums, all overlooked by a 1,000 year old chateau. Alternatively walk down to the river beach for a swim, relax or a bite to eat.

The market town of Riberac (20 mins) has one of the biggest markets in France! The capital towns of Angouleme and Perigueux (45 mins) offer a wider and more sophisticated range of shops in a typically French setting. Brantome, nicknamed the ‘Venice of Perigord’ is well worth a visit at a similar distance. Also within easy reach are towns such as St. Emilion, Bergerac, Cognac and Bordeaux, all famous for their wines and spirits and equally beautiful places to visit.

Local activities range from walking, sight seeing, tree climbing, canoeing, cycling, fishing, or even jet–skiing and quad biking to name but a few. Wine tasting and degustation are of course a staple part of the French experience! There are a variety of local festivals, fetes and firework displays that take place throughout the summer in the local villages and towns. These are aimed at all ages and generally take place between the months of June and September.

Children will find plenty to occupy themselves and their families with activities ranging from crazy golf, horse riding and tree top adventures to daytrip’s to the popular attractions of Aqualand Water Park, La Palmyre Zoo and Futuroscope. Longeveau is fortunate to have a number of very good restaurants in the area, ranging from cafés to fine dining. As with everything, our staff will be happy to recommend or help you with decisions.
