Location
The property is situated in a small hamlet just outside the medieval town of Vouvant which is about a 10 minute walk. The town has a good selection of shops, restaurants and an excellent weekly market. Vouvant is officially classified by the French government as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Surrounded by lovely countryside and far-reaching views, this is an area with lots to explore. The nearby forest and lakes are ideal for walking and water-based sports.
?Many outdoor sports are available locally including tennis, golf, horse riding, boating, walking, kayaking, cycling and paragliding. Thanks to the effects of the Gulf Stream, the region enjoys the highest number of sunshine hours on the Atlantic coast and that, coupled with its glorious sandy beaches, makes it the perfect holiday destination.
