Our fully licensed bar provides a welcome retreat from touring the wonderful French countryside. Please order dinners in advance so that dinner will be ready when you get here As from this year we can also offer guided tours, We have a number of beautiful routes which we would gladly show you. Our hotel was built in 1883 by the brothers Dumas who were Parisien stonemasons, it has had many uses in its history, it was last used as a hotel in 1925 after which it was bought by Jean Baptiste Desplobins who used it as a family home. (The telephone number at that time was simply, no 1) During the war it was a low key detention centre housing refugees and POWs, but now it is back to its original intended purpose of welcoming guests to Bussiere Poitevine. Drive through our gates into the enclosed courtyard and you are immediately transformed back in time to a more genteel and relaxed way of life. We have secure indoor parking for about 50 bikes, giving you the peace of mind to relax without worrying about the safety of your pride and joy.

 

We are 28 miles from the Martyr village of Oradour sur Glane which was destroyed by the 2nd SS Panzer 'Das Reich' division. The burnt out village now stands as a monument to the 642 people who died on that day.

Happily there are more beautiful attractions in the area like the Racing Circuit 'Val du Vienne', and the roads and villages around here are a joy to explore with very little traffic to hold you up. Explore by yourself or take one of our guided tours. We have our own licensed bar and restaurant but there are numerous bars and restaurants to explore in the vicinity.
