B&B Au Bellefleur

Au Bellefleur makes the ideal base to explore this beautiful part of the Poitou Charentes. Summer and winter can be a wonderful time to get out into the countryside and explore the rich variety of scenery and places in and around Au Bellefleur.

Alternatively, you may wish for nothing more than a lazy day in our spacious garden to finally read that book. Then round off the day with a drink in the evening sunshine in summer or by the roaring fire in winter, then a leisurely home-made 3 course dinner.
