The
area of Charente is well known for its excellent cuisine,
cognacs and wines. In the local area alone, there are several
fantastic auberges and many fabulous restaurants to visit.
The Charentaise people are well known to be the friendliest
and warmest of people, especially to the English, with whom
they share a romantic historic past. In nearby towns, there
is a wonderful variety of shops, as well as historic and
futuristic sights to see, and places of interest to visit.
Maquignon, set in rural South West France, is such a peaceful
place for unwinding and relaxing and enjoying the countryside,
yet set in such a way that you can travel around and enjoy
the "chic, splendour and culture" that France is renowned
for.
