Surrounding Area: La Charronniere is situated in the midst of arable country where the crops rotate from colza to wheat to sunflowers to maize with the occasional little row of vines cultivated by a local farmer. Wildlife and wildflowers abound. Just off the RN10 between Poitiers and Angouleme, La Charronniere is ideally situated for exploration of the surrounding area.
Lezay, about 15 minutes drive away, has a large market on Tuesday mornings, and most of the towns round and about have markets during the week. There are so many things to see and do in the area during the season that you will be spoiled for choice. Out of season the larger towns have plenty of attractions - Poitiers, Angouleme, Cognac, La Rochelle, etc. Paris is just 1.5 hours away by TGV from Poitiers. Details of all attractions are to be found in the folder in the cottage.
