La Grange du Moulin offers family-friendly gîtes in the heart of Charente-Maritime, southwest France. Our location is perfect for exploring the region’s main towns, attractions, and beaches.
Coastal gems like La Rochelle, Royan, and Rochefort are all within about an hour’s drive, while inland cities such as Poitiers, Angoulême, and Niort are also easily reached. Saintes and Cognac are even closer, offering plenty of activities to keep adults, children, and toddlers entertained. For a bigger adventure, Bordeaux and its world-famous vineyards are just 1.5 hours away.
The coastline stretches for hundreds of miles, but for a quicker dip, our inland beach and swimming lake is only 30 minutes from the gîtes.
