LA RENAUDRIE – LA PETITE MAISON DE MAITRE

The sounds of a family holiday. Laughter splashes over from the pool and just distantly the pock of boule hitting boule and a shout of triumph declares the end of a game. It’s the evening and the ice in your Pineau de Charente chinks and settles as you laze back, the book still unread beside you.

The sun begins its descent across the rows of vines and sunflowers. It’s still hot and sunny by the pool. But what of dinner tonight? Another barbeque? Or perhaps the local Cheval Blanc restaurant? Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere. And the day tomorrow? Well, there are always the beaches to explore.

Then again, you haven’t really touched chic Bordeaux, and Cognac sounds very tempting. And of course, there’s the zoo at La Palmyre. But not yet? Save that one. Besides it’s so nice to just stay put at La Renaudrie. The kids haven’t got tired of the Wendy House or the play area and perhaps you’ll find time for a little private go on the trampoline? But maybe not just yet.
