We stayed for 2 weeks in Pervenche with
our 2 young daughters and had a wonderful time during August. The
gite has been restored to a very high standard throughout, spotlessly
clean with modern kitchen and bathroom. Everything worked, well equipped
and we never ran out of hot water. The TV with more channels than
you could possibly need was fantastic for catching up with the Olympics
after a hard day relaxing in this charming region of France. The location
is perfect for day trips to Pons, Saintes and Cognac. The newly constructed
pool area is fabulous, as the heated salt water is a real luxury.
The swimming pool is child safe as it's 1.4m deep, and great for getting
those little fishes confident to learn the basics. Vanessa and Tim
are great hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable on the surrounding
area. To find cold beer, wine and fresh local bread, cheese and snacks
for the girls was a lovely surprise after the drive down from Calais.
Our family all agreed we would love to return next year.

Pâquerette at Les Gîtes du
Vigneron - the best place to stay near Pons!
We had the most fantastic week at the
Pâquerette - combining a week of sight-seeing and comfort at
the gîte with a week of french lessons for myself and my two
teenage children. The gîte is exceptionally well kitted out
and nothing has been forgotten. It is all new, modern, fresh and clean!
If you are not lying by the pool or swimming in it, you can play boule,
or retreat to the cool of the gite where a flat screen tv and reliable
wifi keeps teenagers happy during the heat of the day! Tim and Vanessa
are wonderful hosts and they have answers to all your questions -
be it logistical or linguistic! Vanessa's language school was a definite
bonus for us as finding a place to brush up and practise our french
had been key and it is a great USP for their collection of gîtes,
if others want to have the same facility on the doorstep - literally!
Around Pâquerette (St Seurin de Palenne) there are many wonderful
places to explore and we particularly enjoyed our day trips to the
coast, Pons, Saintes and Jonzac. So much to do - and in such comfort!
We will definitely be back!
