Family-friendly site in the scenic Poitou-Charentes region
On-site relaxation area with hot tub, sauna, aromatherapy and library
Cognac country: 15 minutes’ drive from top distilleries

Worried about winding up with a boring holiday? That won’t be a problem at Les Pilotis du Cognac, a family-friendly site less than five minutes’ drive from the village of Bourg-Charente in Poitou-Charentes – there’s piles to do (it’s funny in French…). Explore the Charentes region from Les Pilotis: take to the country roads and banks of the Charente river on foot or by bike, or get out on the water to see it all by canoe. If that sounds too active, pull up a piece of riverbank and cast out a line to see, or head to the nearby golf course (less than five minutes’ drive) to play a round. Back on site, you can get nice and relaxed: have a leisurely game of ping pong or rack up the points in pétanque before taking a dip in the heated on-site pool (open during the high season). You can also reserve the private relaxation area on for its hot tub, sauna and aromatherapy, and its library full of books and magazines... Once you start to feel that familiar gnawing in your stomach, grab some supplies in one of the supermarkets in Cognac or Jarnac (both around 10 minutes away) and either cook them in your private kitchen or fire up the barbecue. If you’d prefer to have someone else look after the meal plan, there are plenty of restaurants within 15 minutes of Les Pilotis to try.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The place is very easy to find amongst some beautiful and plentiful vineyards. Martine was there to welcome us through the gate and then showed us around the facilities. Frank stopped his mowing to book us in and gave a very in-depth description to what was on offer within the site as well as within the location. We were shown to our space which was flat and each unit has a nice fencing to give you a little privacy. The site is very small but very functional and value for money. No issues arose but without hesitation I know Frank would have resolved without fuss. Very quite with only nature making a noise which is very pleasant, make sure you have a torch because the whole area is a no light pollution so very dark, which yet again is relaxing when you can see the stars above. A most enjoyable stay with two very pleasant owners. Oh and yes the WiFi is excellent.

Disliked: Nothing

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die überaus hilfsbereit sind. Die Sanitären Anlagen waren einwandfrei. Das Spa Angebot konnte ich leider nichz nutzen.
Geräumige und geschotterte Stellplätze.
Zentral gelegen zwischen Jarnac und Cognac.

Disliked: Die Stellplätze sind noch nicht so einladend, da sie nur aus Schotter und braunem Sichtschutz bestehen. Da der Rest der Anlage toll ist, denke ich das es noch im Aufbau ist.

Liked: Fabulous location for exploring the area around Cognac and along the Charente. Frank and his wife couldn’t have been more helpful and the site is immaculate.

Pitches are flat with gravel and grass with some shade. Lovely stop, we plan to come back.

Reliable WiFi a real bonus.

Local attractions

This is cognac country. Start with tours and tastings at Courvoisier, about five minutes’ drive from Les Pilotis du Cognac, then head in to Cognac for the same at Camus, Remy Martin, Martell, Hennessy and Cognac Meukow. While in Cognac, stick around for more than the brandy – there are plenty of museums, and the Château Royal de Cognac, Jardin Public and La Maison de la Lieutenance are must-sees, plus the scenic medieval streets are super strollable. Once you step away from the cognac of it all, there’s still plenty to do in the area around Les Pilotis. Montendre (around 50 minutes away) is a worthy visit, with its old buildings, château and lake where you can hire pedalos and canoes or laze on the beach – to see everything, make sure to call in to the tourist office for a guided tour. Stick with history with stops at the Roman ruins at Saintes, the châteaux de Dampierre-sur-Boutonne and de la Roche Courbon, and the stunningly scenic village (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) of Saint-Jean-d’Angély, or stick with the scenic at Pons and Jonzac. Kids chafing at the bit? Try a trip to the coast (roughly an hour away) or stick closer to home at Les Antilles de Jonzac waterpark.
