MAISON TOURNESOL: Set in the Deux Sèvres region of the magnificent Poitou-Charentes, said to be one of the sunniest regions in France, this 200-year-old recently renovated property is full of original handcrafted features with magnificent fireplaces and log burners. The house -- which has seven large double or multi-bed bedrooms -- is furnished to a very high standard and provides flexible and comfortable accommodation for two to 17 people in different combinations (see tariff and conditions). Part of our garden is landscaped with a waterfall, bog garden, ornamental fishponds and secluded walkways and this area; together with the 9 x 5m swimming pool; is fenced and gated to ensure your childrens' safety. See page 2 for the breakdown of accommodation and Page 3 for amenities and our tariff!
Bagnault is a beautiful medieval village on the Route du Chabichou - a gastronomique route of 200 km devoted to goats cheese dairies, organic farms and producers. The area is famous for Pineau des Charentes, the delightful aperitif; tastings are available at the many local producers or for something a little stronger visit Cognac!
 
There are countless walks and cycle tracks with a wealth of wildlife and nature to explore.The area is charming and well worth exploring for yourself. Bagnault and its neighbouring village Exoudun has been awarded the status of "cite de caractere en Poitou-Charentes" only given to the most picturesque villages in the region.
 
Vist the nearby towns of La Mothe St Heray, Lezay and St Maixent l'Ecole to experience the local way of life and sample the unique weekly markets selling everything from
sun hats to garlic!
