This area borders the Cognac Region and the Charente River valley. Known for being the second sunniest region after the Cote d’Azure, the Charente also benefits from its mild winters. The recent opening of the Ryanair service from Stansted to Angouleme (our regional capital and 30 minutes drive from our office) has meant that the area is now even more accessible to the UK. There are also airports serving the UK at La Rochelle, Limoges, Poitiers, Tours and Bordeaux, all between 45mins and 2 hours drive away. The port of St Malo is 4½ hours drive away and Calais about 7 hours.

Charente Region

The Charente has beautiful properties in lovely locations. Over the last few years the area has experienced growth and investment and property prices are still very favourable. We continue to see bouyant interest from overseas buyers and new interest from Parisian house hunters who, with the extension to the Eurotunnel network, will shortly be only two hours from Paris. With the Lille connections this also means that St Pancras, London will be about six hours from the city of Angouleme.

The present financial climate provides opportunities for buyers. We are contacted on a regular basis by buyers considering lowering the asking prices for their properties so now is the time to be making contact with us to find your home in the Charente.
