Here are a few more photos of Le Moulin de Beaumont, its pol and garden, along with a few of the surrounding places of interest in the Charente Maritime
We hope these photos will give you a idea of the mill house and its tranquil surroundings, along with the towns such as Cognac and Saintes, beautiful beaches like the Grand Cote, St Georges de Didonne and Royan; the pretty ports at Talmont sur Gironde and Meschers. They illustrate just how diverse your holiday in the picturesque Charente Maritime will be.
