  Please click/mouse over on thumbnails above to view image
Manoir de La Foye built in the 1820s and has now been converted into this delightful complex of five gîtes. The Charentaise properties have been superbly renovated to a very high standard whilst retaining all of their original charm and atmosphere. Within the grounds are gardens with mature trees, a walnut orchard and a swimming pool. The stone gîtes are designed to provide year-round comfort in a supremely peaceful hamlet, well off the beaten track. Located in Charente-Maritime, the second sunniest region of France, Le Manoir de La Foye is in the rural hamlet of La Foye de Vinax. It is within 10 minutes drive of Néré, which has all the necessary amenities. Vineyards, extensive fields of wheat and sunflowers as well as the magnificent Forest of Aulnay surround the area. The region is renowned for its Cognac, Pineau, seafood, especially oysters, cheese and friendly people. A gloriously tranquil, unspoilt setting for a relaxing holiday.
