About the host

Hosted by Susan Lowe

Host profile image
When I was at secondary school I took part in the Birmingham Poitiers exchange, for 6 weeks over the summer, and this gave me my first taste of France, at the age of 13. I stayed with Annie in Angoulême, and got to know her family. Since then we have had many great holidays here, and when we retired we decided to buy a French property to renovate, as you do, so here we are. We like gardening, recycling, cinema, food, building renovation(just as well, really) having the right tool for the job, reading, family gatherings. And since you may be wondering, I'm still in regular contact with Annie, we became grandmothers in the same fortnight, and she lives about an hour away.

Why they chose this property

We enjoyed holidays in SW France with the family over many years, usually staying in a VFB gite. We explored parts of the Pyrenees, and the Bordeaux region, as well as the Charente. So when we retired, and decided to move, it seemed logical to look for a project in the Charente, since we both like renovating old buildings. We didn't have a precise location in mind, but we have grown to love the rolling countryside, and the peace, and discovering new places to visit, this year it was the Jardin Ephemère at St Fraigne, and the chateau de Galmoisin. But each of our guest families has found new and different things to like.

What makes this property unique

A peaceful rural environment, a sense of space, birds and wild life, many interesting places to visit- chateaux, gardens, Roman ruins, beautiful small villages; Angouleme, Poitiers and Limoges within easy reach, a feeling of history all around us, friendly and responsive hosts.
