Charente Maritime Area Information
The Old Shades (known as Les Vieilles Ombres in French) is situated in the Charente Maritime region of France, famous for its long summers and mild winters. Its 370 kilometer stretch of the Atlantic Coast boasts some of the most beautiful costal scenery, with long beaches of white sand combined with pine woods and rugged cliffs.
We are located in the small village of Bagnizeau just 4 minutes drive from the market town of Matha where you will find a variety of shops and amenities. We are also within easy reach of the world famous town of Cognac, where a tour around around one of the well known names such as Hennesy or Remy Martin will help you understand the history and making of this very famous drink. Saintes, Angouleme, St Jean D'Angely and La Rochelle are amongst some of the other places that are well worth visiting during your stay in the Charente Maritime.
The beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Coast are within an hours drive. There is so much to do in the beautiful countryside surrounding us golf, cycling, horse riding, walking, fishing to name but a few.
