Customer comment for the "Pressoir"

31st July - 14th August

This is our second stay in Le Pressoir and it's been equally as wonnderful as this time last year. Staying this time for two weeks has allowed us to thoroughly relax yet still enjoy this beautiful region of France. Highlights: Ile de Re, Venise Verte, Saintes, the beach of Chatelaillon and of course the lovely town of la Rochelle. Nigel and Suzanne have been fabulous hosts once again and Hannah would like to thank Ellie for bike rides, bat & ball and the wii!
Hope to be back soon.

31st July - 7th August

Thank you Nigel and Suzanne for the most wonderful week in your farmhouse. We've loved the comfort and space of the house and gardens together with it's fantastic location!
Fouras plage with it's "infinity" sea pool was a big favourite but we also loved Marennes plage.
Tha market at Rochefort was great and as ever, we loved wandering the streets of la Rochelle.
The children have had a splendid week and really enjoyed making new friends and playing in the garden. We will definitely be back!

This was our first visit to France and we chose such a beautiful place. It's so peaceful and quiet. We have had some great days out visiting islands, beaches and forts. Le Pigeonier was very comfortable for the 4 of us. The pool was great ut Elliot enjoyed playing with Louis on the trampoline the most. It's a great place for adults and kids. It would be great to come bac in a couple of years to see you again. You've all made us most welcome.
Thanks for a fantastic week

Shade for the pool area

This year we have been updating our pool area, earlier we added the margelles (edging tiles) around the pool, outdoor shower and we also put a large sun shade at one end of the pool, so you can get some shade from the hot summer sun.

Bastille Day Celebrations in Landrais

Bastille Day on the 14th July is celebrated all over France usually with festivals & fireworks. In our little village of Landrais in the afternoon they have games for the children. In the evening the mairie organises a 4 course meal this usually consists of roasting a suckling pig or a choice of Charentaise escargot (snails) or sardines with a good local band playing. Then when it is dark the children are given lanterns & everybody goes through the village to the field where there is a firework display followed by a disco outside the mairie, all with a fantastic atmosphere.

Surf school on Ile d'oleron

Today we learnt to surf on the island of Oléron at the Grand village plage. We arrived at 9.30am & the lesson was for 2hrs for 26euros each & the monitors are bilingual.
