There is a stream in the garden which runs under the house, but is generally dry in the Summer, and as there is a wall of approximately 1 metre down into the stream, it is therefore only suitable for young children if supervised.

The village of Loire sur Nie is approximately 1 hour from the airports of La Rochelle and Poitiers, and one and half hours from Bordeaux. It is within 4/5 hours from St Malo and Caen and 6/7 hours from Calais/Dieppe.
Loire is a pretty rural village with a local shop, small lake, church and lovely walks in the beautiful surrounding countryside, which in the Summer months are full of sunflowers and vines.

Bordeaux. 90 mins away, very lively City lots to see and do.
Cognac. Very pretty town on the river with parks, markets and good value restaurants. There are organised trips round the distilleries.
La Palmyre. Lovely zoo, you can look through the glass tanks and see the polar bears performing aqua acrobatics. There is also a water park here and small theme park.. This area has many sandy beaches. Look out for the sign for the Naturist beach!
La Rochelle. Beautiful old port, with many fantastic shops, fish restaurants, and is a great place to sit on the water front with a drink and people watch. Boat trips are available from the harbour. You can drive over the bridge to Ile de Re and although there is a toll it is a beautiful island to explore, and the toll is only one way. There is a lovely old fort to see, and St Martin de re is a lively place to eat. In the evening in the Summer there are market stalls. Look out for the donkeys in pyjamas by the fort.
Rochefort. This is a naval town full of history and has a very impressive naval building, the reconstruction of an old sailing vessel is being undertaken and visitors can view this. It also has lots of lovely shops and restaurants.
Royan. This is a new town as it was razed in World War 2. Many fish restaurants. Beaches of fine sand famous for the blue and white changing tents. Plenty of local markets and fine restaurants. You can get a car ferry from here to the tip of the Gironde estuary. The beaches here are on the Atlantic so the tide is quite rough. This is a very lively sea side resort.
Saintes. A roman town with an impressive Germanic arch, also has a spectacular amphitheatre with performances in the Summer. Many markets both daily and monthly. Lots of lovely shops, restaurants and walks by the river. Boat trips available along the Charente river.
St George de Didonne. This is a beautifully wide sandy beach, with pine trees and dunes at the far end. There is sand yachting and water sports available here. Lovely restaurant over looking the beach.
St Jean D’Angely. It is a beautiful town with a lovely park and lake for fishing, boating, and canoes. Play area for small children and pony rides during the Summer. There is a new leisure centre with indoor pool and slides etc. Very old ruined abbey, superb market every Wed and Sat. indoor and around the streets. 2 or 3 restaurants, and several bars. This is probably our closest town for shopping.
Chatelaillon-plage. Lovely old fashioned sea side resort, with fine sandy beach. Lots of restaurants along the front and the most superb ice cream shop outside the casino.
There are 3 lakes South of Matha, one at Thors, for bathing and boating, and 2 at Mons (5mins away from Thors) for fishing.Take the D121 out of Matha.
Most towns seem to have excellent information offices, giving information about market days, local events and tourist attractions.
There is a lot more information in the folders at the house.
