Bourg Charente is an ideal base to explore the Cognac region with its vineyards and distilleries , discover the rich local heritage or spend a beautiful moment in nature. The nearby towns Angouleme, Saintes and Cognac with their festivals, museums and tourist attractions are worth a visit and famous Cognac houses and small distilleries welcome guests throughout the year. ​Le Domaine des Platanes is located directly on the river and for those guests looking for outdoor activities, walking and cycling paths start from the property. A Michelin star restaurant is located in our village and a small local brasserie is also a short walking distance from the house. The towns of Cognac (8 km ) and Jarnac (6 km) offer many more dining possibilities and feature beautiful markets where you can purchase local produce for a picnic. The Golf club with an 18 hole course, a practice course and driving range is only 3 km away. Jarnac and Cognac are both departure points for river cruises and where you can also hire canoes and bicycles.
