The Experience
This is the kind of house that even on a dull day has plenty of space and light. Walk straight into a hallway with lovely floor tiles and a curved wooden staircase, then an elegant, comfortable living room with open fire, a big kitchen (with a welcome hamper) and dining room for convivial cooking and eating. Lofty windows illuminate some truly beautiful furniture and pictures. Patrice has chosen carefully and with exquisite taste.
Bedrooms are on the first floor, all different but with gorgeous views – one across the sunflower fields in summer. Beds have thick mattresses and toppers, colours are warm and muted, bathrooms (one up, one down) have stone tiles and are immaculate. In summer you’ll be cooling in the pool, or eating in the covered dining area under fairy lights or taking a picnic to the little orchard.
You can walk to the village shop for fresh bread and essentials, or the little market town of Aigre is only a short drive and has an excellent weekly market full of farm produce.

Had the most magnificent return visit to Le Petit Bosquet. Having previously visited in the autumn of 2021, it was just as we remembered, beautifully appointed and a true turn-key holiday experience. The lovely owner provides up to date information with suggestions for visits and meals out as well a "top tip" for a local patisserie which oozes charm and fantastic cakes and goodies. It's an ideal launching pad for exploring Cognac, Bordeaux and beyond. However, our favourite days were spent at home, at the pool with dinners enjoyed outside under the stars. Can't wait to return.

Many delights of this lovely comfortable house, garden & location, We ate outside every night. The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools one could need. Having a stocked bar was nice; we made sure to re-supply & add some other choices. The bedrooms & bathrooms provided excellent comfort. We all wanted to take the grand staircase home with us. Walked the village every night & sometimes up to the cemetery. Loved the folks at the épicerie & picking up our crossiant & baguette every morning. if you have never been to this region, many pleasures await you…not the least meeting Patrice!

A gorgeous, magical slice of heaven where time stands still and you can slip away and become part of the beautiful countryside lifestyle. The lovely furnishings and comfortable well appointed rooms are right out of my favorite shelter magazines. Everything to cook meals and make yourself at home was thoughtfully available. Can’t wait to return to see even more of the beautiful region. Highly recommend.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're just 20 minutes from Angoulême for narrow streets, interesting shops and good restaurants - peer over the ramparts for magnificent views of the Charente valley. Cognac is 25 minutes in the opposite direction, through lush farmland and vineyards. Take a tour of a distillery or explore the ancient cobbled streets of the old town. You're surrounded by many vineyards for wine tastings.
Local points of interest from Patrice Bevans
- The Charente river winds its way through the countryside a short bike ride or a drive away...kayaking and canoeing awaits under a green leafy canopy to explore the charming riverside villages- the perfect thing on a hot summer afternoon
- The grand Rouillac "27 Market" takes over the entire town every month on the 27th & features everything from farm animals to fresh produce & everything in between. Don't miss out on this classic country market. but go early...its a wildly popular day out!
- Surrounded by vines, Le Petit Bosquet is less than 5 minutes away to producers of Cognac & the regional favourite Pineau des Charentes. Let us introduce you to our neighbouring distillers who offer personal tours & tastings of their very special Spirits.
- For the culture vultures, the magnificent Roman Amphitheater at Les Bouchauds is set in a natural bowl surrounded by lush country greenery and just a hop, skip and a jump from Le Petit Bosquet.
- The buzzing and trendy city of Angouleme is just 20 mins away and offers an eclectic mix for the foodies in your family. Soak up a little cafe culture, museum hop and shop the boutiques in this pretty hill-top town.
- A drive through the vines takes you to Cognac and Jarnac where you can visit the premiere Cognac makers & tour their prestigious river-side facilities, with a very worth-while detour at the well-presented Museum of Cognac. Cheers to that!

What a beautiful home, fantastic kitchen, large bedrooms and comfortable beds. The garden and pool area is stunning, we did manage one swim but the weather was a little fresh. The house is located in a great area for visiting all the Charente has to offer. The communication from the owners was excellent, nothing was ever a problem. We would highly recommend especially to a family with all the lovely spaces inside and outside.
