From Baignes St Radegonde, we are 7km accessed via quiet country lanes with very little traffic.. From Barbezieux we are 10 km from the cycle route.
Although you leave the Voie Verte to reach us, you can rejoin the route further along, meaning there is no need to backtrack — making us a convenient and stress-free stop for cyclists travelling in either direction.

Beyond the Voie Verte, the region offers many signposted cycling loops that take you through picturesque villages, farmland and historic sites. These routes vary in length and difficulty, so whether you prefer a gentle ride or a more challenging outing, there are plenty of options to explore.
Whether you prefer a gentle ride along a traffic-free greenway, a leisurely exploration of vineyard lanes, or a longer cycling adventure through the Charente countryside, the area offers something for every level of cyclist.
Bring your own bikes or hire locally, pack a picnic, and discover the beauty of the region on two wheels.
Cycling here is particularly enjoyable thanks to the network of small rural roads with very little traffic, allowing you to discover hidden corners of the countryside at your own pace.
