Features

We are a couple who moved to France from the UK. Our house is adjacent to the campsite, so one of us is always on site to offer assistance.

The campsite is situated in Grosbout, a peaceful small hamlet. We are in the Charente department in South West of France. We enjoy long hot summers and short mild winters. With no light pollution we have the most amazing clear night skies. We are surrounded by farmland and small woodland. The roads nearby are really quiet and ideal for walking and cycling, there is hardly any traffic. The area is dotted with picturesque villages, beautiful stone houses, churches and chateaus.

It also has recommended cycle routes or you can just borrow one of our maps to plan your own routes.  Ruffec; a small town with supermarkets, food markets, bars and restaurants is only 10 minutes drive away.
