We have 2 young children and we have also been letting out our cottages to families with toddlers and children here since 1996, Wendy is a registered child minder; so we have some experience of what children of all ages enjoy and what makes their parents holidays enjoyable too. Its usually the case that if the children are happy then the parents are too.

This large (200 square metres) light, spacious and self catering house is situated in South-West France in the department of the Charente Maritime (part of the Poitou Charentes region) and is only 6km from the thriving market town of Aulnay. Situated in peaceful countryside dotted with sunflower fields and vineyards, the Charente Maritime offers long hot summers, short mild winters, clear skies and fresh unpolluted air. The quiet roads and gentle terrain are ideal for family cycle rides. Cognac is very convenient for a day out. The many and varied Atlantic beaches betwen La Rochelle and Royan are within easy reach.

White Shutters is only five hours driving time from the Western Channel Ports (7 hours from Calais) on good auto routes and is less than an hour from two low cost airports, Angouleme and La Rochelle, with Poitiers 90 minutes away.

White Shutters offers the perfect French self catering holiday for your family and friends. There is so much to do that a fortnight will not be long enough!!
