Location
The local area Chalais is a small market town nestled in rolling countryside.

Dominating the town is the château of Talleyrand, standing guard over the town and looking out over rolling vineyards and sunflower fields.

Inside the château is the nationally renowned restaurant. Chalais has a good range of shops including a supermarket for all your essentials.

Chalais has a year round Monday market - not to be missed.


The picturesque village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is very popular with French and foreign tourists alike as it has been voted one of the top ten prettiest towns in France. Here you can spend the day on the river beach, swimming or canoeing and then stroll in to the town for a pineau in the old village square.




Bordeaux is a 1 hour drive away. The town has an excellent park and ride tram system. This enables you to travel into the heart of the city and view the beautiful architecture and river without having to drive. Bordeaux has an easy mix of shops, cafés and exotic emporiums.

Also, within easy distance of Chez Fely is Angoulême


Chez Fely is 5 minutes from the Charente/ Dordogne border and the River Dronne. Where you can canoe the day away stopping only to enjoy a lazy picnic watching the kingfishers and otters.

Ten minutes away from the cottage is the water park of Paradou. It has a sandy beach, trampolines, swings, tennis, crazy golf, a water slide and last but by no means least a friendly bar for a beer when the temperatures soar.

If you wish to have a day at the seaside we are just over an hour away from the beaches of the Charente-Maritime at Royan and La Rochelle and less than two hours away from the beaches of Cap Ferret and Archachon.
