Things to do

Villemorin

This little village, known for its Cognac production, is located within vineyards and sunflower fields.  The landscape by day or night will inspire you to paint, write, relax and enjoy a little photography.  It is also the perfect place from which to explore the beautiful countryside on foot or by bicycle.

Aulnay

Villemorin is situated less than 3 miles from the market town of Aulnay-de-Saintonge, where all amenities are available: supermarkets, bakeries, banks, pharmacies, post office, garages, bars and restaurants.  There is a large market on Sunday mornings, and a smaller produce market on Thursday mornings, in the town square.  Aulnay hosts the beautiful and National Monument listed romanesque church Eglise Saint Pierre. 

Néré

Just less than 4 miles to the east of Villemorin is the little town of Néré, with a bakery, butchers, bank, pharmacy and a welcoming little bar in the square.

St Jean D'Angely

Only 20 minutes drive away is St Jean d’Angèly, perfect for discovering the local heritage and magnificent architecture of the area.  Built on the banks of the Boutonne River, this large market town boasts a beautiful lake and leisure area for water sports and lakeside activities.  Nearby is the impressive swimming centre – Atlantys – with water slides, diving pool, jacuzzis, gym, sauna and sun terraces.

In and around the town are all amenities including major supermarkets and a good selection of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes.
