Local area

Domaine de la Garenne is in a rural location on the outskirts of the market town of Sauzé-Vaussais, peaceful amidst fields of sunflowers and corn, closely bordering the neighbouring departments of Charente and Vienne.

Sauzé-Vaussais is a small town within easy reach of the N10. Markets are held twice weekly and the town is well-provided with a range of shops and services including two boulangeries, a small hotel, bars and restaurant. There is an outdoor pool, tennis courts and small lake with picnic area, children’s play area and walks.

Poitou-Charentes

This vast region of France is one of many contrasts, enjoying a verdant landscape, yet second only to the Mediterranean coast in hours of sunshine. Comprising 4 departments – Deux Sevres, Charente-Maritime, Charente and Vienne, it is steeped in history, with medieval (especially Romanesque) churches and sculpture much in evidence. The region stretches from the Atlantic coast with the towns of La Rochelle, Royan, Saintes, through the Marais Poitevin (Venise Vert) and its network of waterways, to the Charente River, meandering peacefully through picturesque towns and villages, flanked by vineyards near Cognac, on its way to the sea.
