We live in North Yorkshire, England but have always loved holidaying in France with our twin daughters and over many years have explored a number of regions. We kept coming back to this part of Charente-Maritime so decided to buy our own home here and it has become our ‘retreat’ , where we have shared many memorable holidays with friends and family.

Arces is a small village among a friendly farming community and benefits from an excellent bar/restaurant and ‘epicerie’ and the workshop of a local artisan sculptor. It's such a relaxing place to spend time, in a tranquil rural setting amid fields and vineyards and yet only a very short distance from some of the best beaches in France. And with lots of opportunities close by to get involved in a wide range of activities including horse riding, golf, cycling, walking and all the water sports you can think of! And the resorts of Royan and La Rochelle, towns steeped in history like Saintes and Cognac, the beautiful Ile d’Oleron and the city of Bordeaux all a short drive away.

La Bergerie is equipped for all your family's needs and offers the opportunity to ‘get away from it all’ by enjoying the large garden, with plenty of room for outdoor games, swimming in the pool, or just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine for which this region is well-known. Or within a short cycle ride are some beautiful sandy beaches and the port at Meschers, with bars, restaurants and shops, the picturesque Romanesque 12th century church at Talmont and the busy market town of Cozes. And a short drive gets you into the wine-growing region of Bordeaux boasting some of the finest wines in the world or the prime Oyster and Mussel beds at Marennes-Oleron if your tastes are more gastronomic!
