Guest Lounge

You might choose to relax in our comfortable Guest Lounge, read a book from our extensive choice, or grab some sun in the garden, but for the more adventurous, there are lots of leisure facilities available.

Fishing, Sailing and Swimming. Just 15 minutes from Montemboeuf, the Lacs De Haute Charente, offer two stunning lakes for fishing or sailing. Lac Lavaud boasts a number of sandy beaches, café bars, and a sailing centre for dinghy hire. At the café bar you can also hire a pedelo, table tennis equipment, crazy golf or join in the fun at the volleyball court. Safe swimming is provided by an on site lifeguard during the summer months. Mas Chaban is quieter and boasts spectacular scenery, excellent fishing spots and numerous woodland trails for the nature enthusiast.

Swimming can also be enjoyed at the outdoor swimming pool in the village – just 3 a minute walk from the house.
Bicycles are available to explore the quiet country roads and trails around The Lavender House.
Tennis courts are available in the nearby village of Chevres.
Horse Riding and Pony Trekking is offered by a number of stables within easy access, with the stables at Lac Lavaud particularly popular.
Adventure Playground and high ropes excitement can be found just outside the nearby village of Massignac – on route to the lakes
Golf can be enjoyed in nearby Ecuras at Golf de la Preze or at Angouleme. Established in 1955 as a 9-hole course, Golf de l'Hirondelle is one of the oldest courses in France.

For the historian a trip to the Memorial Centre at Oradour-Sur-Glane is awesome and leaves one totally shocked and stunned. It is a monument of a village ransacked by the Nazis in World War 2. The buildings remain unchanged from those times as do relics of rusty old cars and bikes. All the inhabitants we rounded up in the church, shot and the church set on fire. A walk in the silence is very moving, particularly with peoples' name and profession above the battered doorframes. You pass through a modern, high tech museum showing the history of the event. It includes many pictures and old newsreels and the film show is a must. We should never forget.
