Home description
La Cotonne is a delightful cottage in a quiet location situated amidst the vines but within easy walking distance of the village centre, (200 metres to the boulangerie) it makes an ideal location to relax and unwind. The village of St Thomas de Conac also offers a range of facilities including a grocery shop, bakery, butchers, Post Office, bar/restaurant, hairdressers, village hall and riding stables. From the garden there is a view of the Gironde Estuary and Medoc beyond which is especially stunning at sunset. The beaches at Meschers sur Gironde, St George de Didonne and the busy town of Royan with its wonderful promenade, marina and market are close by, as is the pretty and historic village of Talmont. There are several large supermarkets all within easy driving distance. Fresh oysters and mussels can be bought from the village square on Sunday mornings.
The cottage has been extensively renovated and sympathetically updated to provide comfortable and modern accommodation on two floors for up to 4 persons. Tables, chairs and a barbecue are available to enjoy relaxed meals on the patio.
The Charente-Maritime has a mild temperate climate thanks to the Gulf Stream, which embraces the coastline; this combines with the second highest number of sunshine hours in France (after the Cote d'Azur) to give temperatures that reach the high 30s in July and August.
With only a 15 minute ferry trip across the Gironde from Blaye you will find yourself in the Medoc, where you can visit renowned chateaux and savour the delicious world famous wines of the region. The busy towns of Saintes, Cognac and Pons are all within easy driving and are all well worth a visit.
