Owners Profile
Blissful Location for Holidays and Weddings
Charente lives up to its reputation as the second sunniest region in France, after Provence. Where Saint Severin is; down at the southernmost tip where it meets the Dordogne, you can expect long hot summers with temperatures reaching 30C in May. They gradually soar to 40C or more from July to early September and drop to 26C by mid-October. The utter tranquility of the region and friendliness of the local people will appeal to anyone looking for a stress-free holiday with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the gentle pace of living.
For couples wanting to celebrate their wedding in the region we are fortunate in having English-speaking wedding planners and caterers living locally to organise the event from start to finish. From the marquee at the end of the garden, guests have a panoramic view of the countryside and as evening draws in, can watch the sunset over the hills. At night the garden came alive with the lights in the marquee and underwater lights in the pool. Guests have said this was one of the most romantic wedding venues ever.
