For maximum safety, the pools are guarded by a security cover and the area is surrounded by a locked security fence. The cover and the fence both conform with the strict French swimming pool security standards.

Swimming pools open at the beginning of May to the end September.

Boules piste

The Boules Piste at dusk.We have a traditional French boules piste (petanque).

It is just behind the bar and has a small seated area. So, grab a drink, take a seat and watch all the big kids (i.e. the husbands) get over-competitive just like on your last holiday.

Bar

Our licensed bar is stocked with an extensive range of drinks for all ages, including local ciders and beers from the region.Bar Terrance and Table Tennis
Bar and Games Room
 
The bar has a large 42 inch screen which shows all the major sporting events.

The bar has a terrace area that overlooks the play areas, so you can relax and enjoy a drink while watching your children.  The soft play area is also in the terrace of the bar.

The complex has a Wi-Fi connection allowing you free access to the Internet and your e-mails.

Your accommodation is equipped with a satellite television that receives all the free UK channels.

Evening events

Depending on interest we hold a weekly cheese and wine tasting, where you can relax and mingle with the other guests. 
 
Luxurious touches

There are luxury robes and REN beauty products for the adults in each gite along with luxury linens on all double beds.
 


Games roomTable Football and Dartboard

To keep you occupied we have a games room with a pool table, table tennis table, table football, Nintendo Wii and an electronic dart board (with plastic safety darts, suitable for children).

We also have a selection of board games, books and DVDs that you are welcome to borrow.
 

Food and drink

Although the idea of a gite holiday is that your accommodation is fully equipped for self-catering, we also offer fresh bread and patisseries for breakfast which are delivered every morning from a local boulangerie. 

In addition, we prepare a fresh home cooked "Plat du Jour" on selected days of the week, which you can either have delivered to your gite or eat in the bar if you decide to order it.   Please note, that during school holidays, the number of Plat du Jours offered per week reduces as experience has shown that less families order food as they are going out for meals in the evenings. 
 
Some typical Plat du Jour menus are:
 
Starters
Coquille St Jacques (scallops in cider and cream)
Tempura Tiger Prawns with sweet chilli sauce
Roquefort and Pear Tarte
Charentais Melon and Mint salad
 
Main courses:
Cous Cous Royale (lamb, chicken and merguez cous cous)
Moules Frites
Scallop and Salmon Brochettes
Fillet Steak and chips cooked to your liking.
Fish pie
Vegetarian Burritos
 
Deserts:
Tarte Normande (apple, almond and calvados tarte)
Dame Blanche (traditional ice cream desert)
Chocolate fondant and ice cream
Fresh fruit salad


Prices for adults start from €15 depending on meal offered. 
 
We also offer a selection of frozen adult meals, as per the childrens meals, that you can take out, defrost and heat up.  Again these are all cooked by Lesley and priced at €6.  As lots of guests previously have requested this service it includes a number of curries amongst other things!!!!   We will try and offer a home cooked Indian Night in a bag by 2013.  Again all cooked by Lesley using fresh ingredients.
