Gite la charrue
La Charrue is a former 18th century posthouse set in its own 6 acres of parkland. We are situated just 13km from the beautiful town of Brantome "the Venice of the Perigord."
La Charrue is situated directly off the main Angouleme to Perigueux route (D939) and is ideally placed in the Parc Naturel du Perigord/Limousin. Within a short drive there are numerous chateaux, museums, caves and historic sites.
We have three comfortable gites sleeping from 2 to 6 people, and three bed and breakfast rooms sleeping 2, 3 and 4. We also have a small campsite for up to 8 caravans.
On site we have a 10x5m swimming pool with sun loungers and parasols, solar shower and security cover. The pool and terrace face south. We also have a kiddies play area next to the tea garden with swings, slides, table tennis etc.
Food and drink is available all day and every evening from the Terrace Restaurant and Tea Garden. During high season we have daily deliveries of fresh bread and croissants.
As well as an abundance of centuries old villages to discover, such as Brantome, St Jean de Cole, Nonton and Perigueux within one to two hours you can reach Bergerac, Sarlat, Domme, Rocamadour, Bordeaux and Cognac.
During the Summer months we hold Music nights and other Events on the Terrace restaurant and garden. Music is normally on a Friday so that customers can avail themselves of a Fish and Chip supper and a bottle of wine.
Events are usually fundraisers staged in conjunction with Twilights, the Old Dogs Home, run by Leanne and Mike or a Cancer charity.
