If you are searching for peace and quiet in the tranquil French countryside and love the Charente summer climate

Then La Petite Gravelle is the place for you!

La Petite Gravelle is a beautiful, traditional cottage, renovated

and equipped to a very high standard and one of the very few

Gites in the area which caters for couples

(A comfortable bed-settee, additional single bed or a cot is available for a third person)

Set on the edge of the tiny, quiet hamlet of La Gravelle with open

countryside views it is only ten minutes from the historic

old town of  St Jean d'Angély. The distillery tours and fascinating
architecture of Cognac are only 30 minutes away, and
Saintes' impressive Roman triumphal arch and amphitheatre are even
closer. La Rochelle's beautiful harbour is within easy reach and the
seemingly endless beaches of the Cote Sauvage
are only about an hour away.

Charente Maritime is the second sunniest part of France and

the summers are usually hot and dry

The weather in Spring and Autumn is often beautiful and La Petite Gravelle's
log-burning stove will also keep you snug during a Winter break.
