Thouvenin is situated in the peaceful, ancient village of Migron, the heart of the Cognac/Pineau producing area, surrounded by acres of vineyards and sunflowers. Excellently furnished and equipped throughout, with large, airy living rooms which stay cool even on hottest of days.

The house gets its name from when it was Hotel Thouvenin, in the days when the railway used to come to Migron. Before that, it was a typical Charentaise farmhouse dating back to the 18th century. it is close to the beautiful historic towns of Cognac, Saintes and St Jean D'Angely, and just 40 from from the beautiful sandy beaches of Royan and an hour to Bordeaux. There are several low cost airports within an hours drive and full directions from all ports are supplied.

The house sits in landscaped grounds with covered terraces, barbecue area and and a games area, including table-tennis and a boules area. The pool is fully fenced and there is an ample supply of sun beds.

Downstairs, the kitchen leads out on one side to the extremely spacious sitting room which includes two sofas and further armchairs, large TV with BBC/ITV channels as well as French television, DVD, VHS and CD players. Broadband is available.

On the other side of the kitchen is the dining room, with a long dining table (seating for up to 10) and an 18th-century Charentaise stone fireplace. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a large fridge/freezer, ceramic hob, multi-function oven, full-size dishwasher and plenty of pots, dishes, etc.
