Les Voiles Blanches, Mortagne sur Gironde, Charente Maritime
Waterfront Duplex Apartment
2 bedrooms, Sleeping 4
Close Atlantic Beaches

Waterfront duplex apartment in old flour mill conversion, with ground floor entrance door, all brand new for 2010. 2 bedrooms, sleeping 4 people. The ground floor is open plan with views towards the river and harbour. Fully fitted kitchen and comfortable sitting room with large Plasma TV (French channels).

The kitchen has a cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and full crockery and utensils. It is separated from the living area by a breakfast bar style dining area.

Stairs lead to the two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds, and the shower room with basin and wc.

There is secure parking at the rear of the building.

Just a few steps away, with level access, you will find a variety of restaurants which are open all year, with local seafood top of the menu. However, the menus are varied, and you can also, of course, get an excellent variety of other foods such as steaks, chicken, pizzas, etc. Or, just simply have a glass of wine and watch the world go by! During the summer months, bread, fruit, vegetables and many other delicacies are available on the port, including fresh fish, just a couple of minutes walk away. There is more commerce in the main village, including a bank, post office, bar/tabac, butchers, bakers and a well stocked Co-Op store for most provisions. Whilst it is quite possible to walk up to the main village, (and many people do!) it is not for the faint hearted; it is a comparatively short walk, but it is a very steep climb! There is a large supermarket (Super U) at Gemozac, which is a 10 minute drive, where you will find just about everything else that you may need. There are plenty of restaurants in the various villages and towns, within a short drive, to suit every taste and pocket, ranging from the exclusive to the more simple.

Mortagne-sur-Gironde, Le Port is, of course arguably, the prettiest village along the estuary, and off season is generally fairly peaceful. However, it hosts many fetes, brocante fairs and functions, usually free, during July and August, and at the weekends can be fairly lively. It is not a place particularly suited to the very young, and lends itself more towards the "young at heart"; there are no discos or noisy bars, but on some weekend evenings in the summer, you can expect to hear the sounds of people enjoying themselves in the local restaurants until the late evening. It can also be described a fairly peaceful the rest of the time!
