Description for B&B:
Experience a heartwarming welcome at La Vieille Distillerie, a beautifully restored Maison de Maitre from the mid-nineteenth century, complete with its own former Cognac distillery.During the winter months, our centrally heated house offers an even cozier atmosphere with crackling log fires and candlelit dinners to make you feel right at home.
Located in the charming south Charente region, there is a multitude of activities to enjoy, such as cookery classes with renowned chef Reza Mahammed at Chez Cartier, visits to local Cognac distilleries, wine-tasting, golfing, fishing, horse-riding, and bird-watching. Additionally, there are numerous historic towns and villages nearby, boasting captivating Chateaux and gardens waiting to be explored.
Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Le Tatre, just 4 kms off the N10 route to the South and Spain, our location serves as a convenient stopover or an idyllic base for discovering the breathtaking French countryside.
Surrounded by vineyards, sunflower fields, and rolling landscapes, the quiet roads are perfect for cyclists, walkers, and birdwatchers, offering sightings of magnificent species like the Hoopoe, Black Redstart, Serin, Black Kite, and Zetting Cisticole in the Le Tatre area.
For those seeking a new home, our proximity to the borders of three Departments - the Charente Maritime, the Gironde, and the Dordogne - makes us an excellent base for house hunters. Additionally, a fishing lake and tennis court are just a few yards away from our house, while an eleventh-century church overlooks our charming garden.

Appréciations pour La Vieille Distillerie, Le Tatre:
Pour une nuit
La maîtresse de maison nous a acceptés au pied levé en lieu et place d'une collègue défaillante.
L'accueil, la chambre, la SDB, le petit déjeuner... c'est simple et très correct. Nous recommandons sans réserve. La maîtresse de maison d'origine britanique est très sympathique, à l'écoute.
