Bike ride in the Cognac vineyards
Segonzac is the capital of the ‘Grande Champagne’ area, 1er cru de Cognac. This ‘terroir’ is the lifeblood of the area and this fascinating 500-year-old Cognac industry is well worth exploring. The town of Cognac and its world renowned Cognac houses such as Hennessy, Martell and Rémy Martin are only 15 minutes away and a wealth of wonderful local producers also offer tours of their distilleries right on our doorstep, in Segonzac.
But the Charente is not just about Cognac, the area is full of fun activities to do and beautiful sites to see, so the whole family can have a good time!
Within 30 minutes of L’Ancienne Distillerie, you’ll have a hard time choosing between canoeing down the river, cycling in the vines, zip lining through the woods, walking in the woods, riding ‘off-road’ electric scooters, going treasure hunting, visiting roman churches or even going water-skiing!
And of course, further afield you’ll find the wonderful towns of Angoulême, Saintes, La Rochelle and Bordeaux. A day-trip to the coast is only 1 hour away and you’ll be able to enjoy sandy beaches, quaint villages and, whilst you’re there, why not try land sailing!
We’ll be happy to recommend activities and visits during your stay.
