Welcome to L'ABear Vie
We are situated in a small and friendly hamlet close to the village of St. Claud (3 minute drive) and town of Champagne Mouton in the Poitou Charente region of France.
The Property catering 2/4 people (La Maison D'Or) sits within the grounds of our home and outbuildings totalling approximately one acre and offers a relaxing and peaceful holiday retreat and base from which to explore the many delights of this region.
One interesting fact about the hamlet is that it was used in the making of the 2005 film "Zone Libre". A WW2 story based on true events, in which a french farmer helps a jewish family take refuge from the Nazis.
St. Claud offers all your daily requirements - bank, post office, restaurants (1 with cyber-cafe), local store, tabac, bakeries, hair salon, pharmacy, swimming pool etc. A larger supermarket is available in Chasseneuil, just a 10 minute drive away.
The property consists of a spacious 1 bedroom cottage that has just undergone complete refurbishment and offers the following:
- Fully fitted kitchen which includes oven, hob, microwave, fridge and a full range of utensils.
- Washing machine
- Bedroom with double bed

In the garden you will find:

So whether you simply wish to get away from it all for a week or two, or you need a base for the longer term to allow you to find your own perfect property in the area, then L'ABear Vie will be the ideal place for your stay.
We hope this site gives you an idea of the property and its location, along with details of the Charente region and its many attractions. Finally we should boast of the fabulous weather which is renowned in this particular area of France; over 2400 hours of sunshine per year, second only to the Cote D'Azur!
