 Where
is it?
Chez Hirondelles is located in the
Département de Charentes (16). It is to be found halfway between the
cities of Limoges and Angoulême. The nearest town is Chassenieul-sur-Bonnieure and the property overlooks the village of
Cherves Châtelars.
 By
car ...
The journey by car to Chez
Hirondelles from the UK can be done using the the longer ferry crossings from
the South Coast of England to Caen or Le Harve on the Brittany
coast.
The Channel Tunnel and the shorter ferry crossings from Dover
and Folkstone can also be used, although the drive from the
Northeast corner of France is quite a long one.
