Things to do on and around Les Rivieres

Here are some of the on-site or nearby activities.

Swimming – Although we have our own large pool, there are other places to swim. River beaches are popluar in France and two are close to Les Rivieres – Aubeterre and St. Aulaye.  Aubeterre is especially attractive with a lovely shady square full of restaurants and Art Galleries. There is also an amazing Monolithic Church carved our of rock to explore.

Gym – Introduced for 2009, our Gymnasium offers the opportunity to work of the wine and croissants.

Cycling – The lanes surrounding Les Riviere offer a great opportunity to see the beauty of the Parc Naturel without a windscreen between you and its fresh air. We have a good stock of bikes for all ages and strap on bike seats for little ones – all at no charge.

Games Barn – Two pool tables, ping pong, babyfoot and toy corner. Great for evening entertainment.

Badminton – We have a badminton court set up on one of our lawns. Bats and shuttle-cocks loaned free of charge.

Walking – Lanes, woods and trails in abundance. If you are looking for nature then here is your heaven.

Canoeing – The river Dronne offers safe canoeing from 5 years upwards. Try Aubeterre where you can be dropped off with your canoe to enable a slow paddle back.

Horse Riding – There are several locations where horses can be hired for trail riding.

Pizza Evenings Pizza evenings have proved popular with guests making their own pizza and watching them cooked in our restored original bread oven. – If your party wish to celebrate an occasion, perhaps a birthday or anniversary, then can we organise catering, cakes etc.
