"Lovely accommodation near the Beautiful Charente River"

Le Mangou is a traditional french house, set in the heart of Vienne, just a few hundred metres from the lovely Charente River. It offers the perfect holiday in a part of Rural South West France which remains completely unspoiled. Whether you enjoy walking or cycling through the fields of sunflowers, relaxing in the pool and spa, picking the in season fruit and vegetables in the extensive gardens, there is something for everyone, all year round. 

Hire cars are available, for those that travel by air to explore more of the country. The nearest town is Savigne (2km away) has the local supermarket with everything you could need: a vast selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, a beautiful meat and fish counter and bakery. Civray (only 5km away), a small market town with traditional French markets being held on a Tuesdays and Fridays, with a beautiful park and restaurants.

Further afield are the towns of Poiter and Anguleme, full of beautiful french boutiques, perfect for a days shopping, or traveling to La Rochelle, to enjoy the beaches and harbour. Nearby is the region is famous for Pineau des Charentes, a regional French aperitif made almost exclusively in Poitier – Charente and local produce, crafts and brocantes. Visit Cognac and discover the famous Brandy producers or head a little further South into the Bordeaux wine region.

In fact everything you could possibly hope for is available either at home or just a short distance away... 

Le Magnou was originally designed so that we could have 2 separate situations - "The House" and "The Gite" - but we have discovered that the vast majority of guests prefer the privacy of sole occupancy and as a result we now only offer the whole property but with a sliding scale of charges depending on the number of guests.
