Sans Souci cottage

My beautiful French cottage is set in a small rural hamlet overlooking sunflower fields in Charente. A simple idyll with warm sunny days and balmy starry nights. A wonderful place for long walks, cycling, watersports and swimming, visiting chateaux and local markets. You'll love the cosiness and tranquility of my cottage.
