Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesRevel in the rural charms of southwestern France while staying with your family at Les Volets Verts. In addition to the three bedrooms, a cot, highchair, changing table, changing mat, and pushchair can also be requested for little ones.
In the fenced garden children can play freely and safely, enjoying games of table tennis and badminton and, of course, spending hours splashing in the private pool while parents relax on the terrace.
Beyond the villa, you will find plenty of scenic walks and cycle routes winding through farmland, vineyards and sunflower fields. Horse-riding is a special way to explore the Charente-Maritime region and there is an abundance of water-based sports along the region's rivers and the vast Atlantic coastline.
Water-lovers can hire boats along the peaceful Charente River near Cognac or take leisurely boat excursions to tour the scenery near Saintes, Cognac or Jarnac. To the north, the Marais Poitevin network of rivers, canals, and marshland can also be explored by canoe, kayak or boat. In the pretty town of Saint-Jean-d'Angély, around a 30-minute drive away, there is also a playground, skatepark, and even summer inflatables in the spacious park by the riverbank.
For a day at the seaside, nearby beaches such as Chatelaillon or a little further, the Île de Ré and Île d’Oléron, have plenty of family-friendly activities on offer. After hours of sandcastle building and paddling in the sea, everyone will enjoy a feast of local cuisine followed by a delicious ice cream.

Ideal base for discovering Charente Maritime
The house has all the comforts to accommodate a family of 6 people. The swimming pool and large private grounds are a real plus for "lazy" days. I sincerely plan to stay there again in order to extend our discovery in the region... It worked a miracle... to have won over my children :-)
