Grange aux Chouettes

Welcome to Gîtes Ruraux Charente
Tucked away in a peaceful hamlet just five minutes from the nearest village and 15 minutes from a small town and the main Paris–Spain route, Gîtes Ruraux Charente offers the ideal rural escape in the heart of southwest France.

Our gîte is a beautifully restored former barn, dating back several hundred years and thoughtfully renovated to combine historic character with modern comfort. Sleeping up to six guests, with space for a travel cot, it’s perfectly suited for families, couples, or small groups looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Guests enjoy their own private, gated garden, ideal for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation, as well as shared access to a swimming pool, an orchard with a hammock and chair swing, children’s swings and a slide, and a ping pong table. You’ll also have access to free Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

With walking and cycling routes in abundance, it’s easy to immerse yourself in the scenic countryside, discover nearby villages, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of rural France at your own pace.

Whether you're here to explore or unwind, Gîte Ruraux Charente offers a warm welcome and a place to truly slow down.
