The property is located in a quiet hamlet within a few minutes walk to the River Sompteuese, with a children’s play area and walks through the wonderful countryside with an abundance of wildlife. The market towns of Melle and Chef Boutonne are within easy reach and each has a choice of restaurants, bars and shops.

Location
La Pagerie is the perfect base to explore the beautiful region of Poitou-Charantes, and below is a selection of attractions within easy reach:
Melle - the Romanesque town Melle boasts medieval chateaux, art treasures, a weekly market on a Friday and the old silver mines which are well worth visiting. The town also has a good selection of bars and restaurants, along with supermarkets and boutiques.

Chef Boutonne - with it`s 15th century fairytale Chateau Javarazy, park and fishing lake. This market town is a short drive away and has a weekly market on Saturday mornings.

La Vallee des Singes - a great family day out, with 350 free roaming monkeys and 30 different species to discover. You have direct contact with the animals and a feeding schedule allows you to plan your day in this nature park.

Futurscope - near Poitiers has futuristic architecture and pays homage to the technologies of tomorrow. See 3D films on the giant, flat, circular or spherical screens featuring dynamic cinema, new video techniques and virtual pictures. 2006 has seen the park introduce new attractions that will expand your horizons.

Marais Poitevin - known as `green Venice`, is France`s largest collection of man-made waterways, covered with waterlilies and irises, and is the second largest area of wetlands. The leisure elements of the area are mixed and varied with walking, horseriding, cycling, boating, fishing, birdwatching and many more. Explore the area by boat perhaps taking a guided tour on a `platte`, or hire a canoe and make your own way through the waterways.

Cognac - home of Hennessy, Remy Martin, Martell and a hundred other makers of Cognac. Take a distillery visit or discover the architectural heritage by visiting the Château and Saint-Jacques Gate and Priory of Saint Léger.
