About Paizay Le Tort in Deux-Sèvres, Poitou Charentes

With the medieval market town of Melle within minutes with it's silver mine that used to serve the kings of France, the situation is quite lovely. The very discreet French and English owners who live in one end of the Mill are on hand for help and advice. Easy access to La Rochelle, Golden beaches, Marais Poitevin (Green Venice), Cognac, Futuroscope, Puy de Fou, Monkey Valley and much more.

Ideally located in the heart of the Poitou-Charentes, the department of the Deux-Sevres remains a land of secrets for many visitors. Those who have been lucky enough to discover its many tourist sites, sheltered within an unspoilt countryside, will tell you that it is well worth the journey.

The many attractions of the area include Poitiers, a town with over a hundred church towers and full of surprises. Partially built on a rocky promontory, inhabited for over 2000 years each generation has left its marks. With the close proximity of the Futuroscope theme park, the nautical base of Saint-Cyr, the aquatic centre and its golf courses make Poitiers a favoured destination.

The Ile De Re and La Rochelle with their extensive beaches on the Atlantic Coast are about an hours' drive away with the spectacular "Green Venice" (Marais Poitevin) only a pleasant 40 minutes drive. An hour to the south is Cognac with its several distilleries offering guided tours, including the famous Hennessy, Martell and Remy Martin. Wildlife parks, historical buildings, chateaux, museums, aquariums, golf courses and theme parks make this area the perfect choice for that very special holiday.
