Owners Recommendations

'Base de Plein Air'
"During the summer this is a great activity area. Young children will love the bouncy castle and swings while teenagers and the young at heart hire a pedalo or a canoe. Trampolining and mini golf are also available. And for the less active in the family it is a lovely place for a walk along the river. There is a bar/restaurant or you can take a picnic!"

'Cognac Distilleries'
"A stay in Cognac would not be complete without a visit to at least one of the great brandy houses. Tours are run frequently (depending on season) and are fascinating even if you do not like brandy! The Remy Martin tour is taken by train, whilst Hennessy take you on a boat across the Charente. "

'Cognac Market'
"The indoor market has excellent quality food and is an entertaining way to shop! Best produce can be found later in the week (particularly good on Sunday). Recommended for fish and seafood (particularly oysters), charcuterie, vegetables, local cheese and wine."
