	Chez Baiges 16230 Saint Angeau Nearest town: Angouleme
	Chez Baiges is situated in a quiet secluded setting and has a 10 x 5 metre heated swimming pool set in 2 acre gardens. We are on the edge of the Braconne forest - an area of wooded hills and valleys that is ideal for walking and cycling. Our buildings are arranged around a large and secluded courtyard and include 3 houses, several barns and the winery (or "chai"). The courtyard is a real suntrap and gives access to the south facing gardens, pool area and orchard.
	We have a choice of 4 cottages and 3 B&B rooms available. Cottages sleep 2 to 5, have exposed stone walls, ancient oak beams and a wealth of character yet are comfortably equipped with modern amenities.
	4 course table d'hotes dinners available for 22 euros per person including wine. Low cost flights are available from various parts of the UK to Poitiers and Limoges airports - both about an hours drive.
