Bois d’Eleis is a group of semi-detached holiday villas set in the pine forest in the heart of Charente-Maritime. The properties share a outdoor swimming pool (open from mid June until September) and close by you will find good tennis courts and a children’s play area.  The house has a compact yet comfortable interior, with a small secluded south facing garden with patio (garden furniture and BBQ provided). From Bois d’Eleis, it is a short walk to many shops, restaurants and bars in La Palmyre. The village also offers a colourful market, wine tasting of the local speciality "Pineau", with an excellent zoo and funpark (Luna park) nearby.  Magnificent long sandy beaches and the fishing port are a twenty minutes walk from the house through the pine forest.

Coming from Saintes / Royan: 
Coming from Saintes  follow the directions for Royan. You bypass Royan following the directions for La Palmyre Zoo (national road, N150),  approx. 16km from the zoo. As you pass by the zoo (it cannot be missed from the road on your right hand side), take the first road on your right (approx. 150 meters from  Zoo). You keep driving for about 250 meters and take the first road on your left (signpost  "Bois d'Eleis"). You are now on "Avenue des Alouettes", keep driving for approx. 500 meters, the house is on the right. The parking spot No. 5 is reserved for the house.

Coming from Arvert / Les Mathes: 
Follow signs for La Palmyre Zoo. When approaching La Palmyre, you pass by the hippodrome on your left hand side, take the first left. Keep going for another 300 meters and take the second turn right which will bring you onto "Avenue des Alouettes". The Residence No. 5 is the first house you will see on your left.

For a complete change, the vineyards to the south of Royan or in the Medoc region (direct ferries from Royan - 45mins) are a delightful visit, as is the old Phare de Cordouan (lighthouse).  Ile d’Oléron  France’s second largest island, famous for its oyster beds, dunes and pine forest is a great day. La Rochelle a beautiful historic town with a charm all of its own is great for shopping and the choice of restaurants is endless.
