The best accommodations Charente

A La Mère Michelet... you will find the father Michelet, Jean-Paul of its name, a plug endearing and funny, former rugby player who runs from chandeliers this family-run institution. You will eat with your hunger at the local specialties such as duck breast with pineau, the Saint-Barthélemy sweetbreads or lamb chops with the confolentaise.

Looking for a single room and a comfortable bed, near the airport, the motorway or a large road crossing, it is likely that you will then shine the blue ensign of Ibis Budget. The former Etap-Hotel, which is renowned, today relies on low-cost. Correct benefits with very clean rooms, TV, private bathroom, desk corner, free Wi-Fi… which allows a stop not too expensive in good conditions. In the Ibis Budget, breakfast is not included in the room price and you will need to spend a few euros to access the buffet at will. Smart Council: the best rates are available on the website ibisbudgethotel. ibis. com.

In front of the church, Micheline Besson holds a simple and rustic establishment in a beautiful building with a white facade enhanced by a beautiful glycine. The workers'menu is rich but extremely banal (we all know to make coquillettes and when we do it is often an easy solution). The house is clean, the restaurant as the whole, simple and rustic.

You are well at Arlette and Jean-Paul's place. They have built up a small campsite with pitches in the shade or in the sun, at choice, at the edge of their pond. A sanitary building is built by it, with hot water, three showers and three toilets. And at 600 m, runs the Drone. The added advantage of these rural holiday: you can go swimming in the pool fitted with a slide, at Saint-Aulais on foot, in flip-flops and towels thrown over the shoulder.

You will find our friendly craftsperson, Yveline Renou in her role of host because it is in the birthplace of Ludovic Trarieux - founder and first president of the French League of human rights that she lives, Yveline arranged on three guestrooms upstairs. One of them overlooks the charming square, the two others enjoy the magnificent view of the Dronne.

This "Styles" concept has many advantages for the family on the road to holidays. Indeed, there are cheap services for one night in a chain whose charm is not necessarily the main asset. First good point: excellent bedding. Second: children are welcome (family suites for 4 people, adapted breakfast, kids corner to play...). Finally, the refined but colourful decoration, certainly not very personalised, has the merit of being pleasant to the eye. All rooms have a private bathroom, television and free wifi. We should also note the presence of storage space in the rooms and Ibis' commendable commitment to environmental protection.

At the foot of this beautiful village you can pitch your tent and enjoy the landscaped sandy beach and leisure base, while strolling through the historic streets or trails of the countrymen.
