The property is situated in a picturesque and tranquil hamlet near to the village of St. Fort and close to the tiny fishing ports of the Gironde estuary. It is surrounded by vineyards, sunflower fields, and woodland, and the views are lovely. The safe beaches of Meschers and Royan are less than half an hour's drive away. There are naturist beaches and good surf on the wild Atlantic coast further west.
Saintes is nearby with its extensive Roman ruins, and is a very beautiful and ancient town. Cognac also is not far away. There are several good local restaurants nearby. The hamlet is remarkably friendly and the way of life there hasn't changed for years. The climate is good with long, hot summers and short, mild winters.
