For your visits, Alain and Claudy, keen on regional history and tourist attractions, will take pleasure in advising you on short or long trips. If you enjoy sports or shopping, the proximity of the Charente river (5 kms), the towns of Saintes (15 kms) and Cognac (12 kms), offer a varied choice. The village of CHERAC, located at the top of a hill, dominating the river Charente, is far from the busy roads and often unknown by the tourists.

There are many interesting sites in the area and the possibility of lovely walks. Chérac is part of the nine picturesque villages of the Buriaud Country. Burie, cradle of Pineau des Charentes, is the capital of the district. Situated in the Saintonge Romane, the Buriaud Country, with its rich historical and cultural heritage, its nature (hills, rivers, vines, forests...), its small hidden villages, provides a wonderful environment for relaxation, sporting activities or tourist outings. Chérac is on the border of the Charente and the Charente Maritime Departements. This makes it an ideal base for excursions to the Atlantic coast and its islands, the Poitevin marshes and indeed into the depths of the Charente countryside.
