The area
Festivals, celebrating the traditional way of life of the region, are staged at the Musée Rurale in July and August and, every two years it stages a "Grand Spectacle" involving a large cast of local people.
Close to Chez Bernardeau is the La Vallee des Singes, a beautifully managed wildlife park featuring a huge range of monkeys, chimpanzees and apes in natural surroundings.
For those interested in horse riding there is an excellent equestrian centre at La Ferme Equestre de la Boutier, halfway between Civray and Ruffec.
The Poitou-Charentes region of France is a wonderful area for walking, cycling, bird watching, river fishing and touring by car.
The house is within an easy drive of Poitiers to the North (Futuroscope) and Angoulème to the South (Musee de la Bande Dessinee) and is 5 minutes from the lovely market town of Civray, which has all amenities including a large outdoor swimming pool. River swimming is available by the campsite where there is also a café/bar.
A short drive away is Ruffec which has very good recreational facilities at "L'Aire de Rejallant " on the banks of La Charente. These include picnic areas, kayaking/canoeing, river swimming, fishing and a cafe/restaurant.
