OUR ‘FAMILY ACTIVITY PACKAGE’

We aim to be as flexible as possible with our ‘family activity package,’ if there is a particular activity your family would like to focus on we will try and accommodate this. Most of the activities are suitable for children aged 5 and above, if you wish to bring younger children we have a range of baby and children equipment available for your use, please contact us to discuss your specific requirements. If you have any doubts about the suitability of our holiday for your family please contact us and we will be more than happy to offer the best possible advice

Some activities are undertaken at our activity centre, for others we will transfer you to nearby centres and use fully qualified guides and instructors who are best placed to know the local rivers, rock faces, caves and countryside. Throughout your stay you can make use of the pool, games room, bikes, tennis rackets and fishing rods. 

EXAMPLE WEEKLY ACTIVITY PROGRAMME

Saturday       Arrival and Introduction

We recommend that you arrive between 4pm and 6pm at our Activity Centre. You will be given a tour of the centre and allocated a bike for use throughout your stay. In the evening we will meet both families for an introductory drink and welcome.

Sunday         Taizie-Aizie

Today we set off for a fun and varied day at the river at Taizie-Aizie. Following the bank of the river, you will partake in adventure games which will provide a real opportunity to get to know the other family. During the day there will be plenty of opportunities to swim in the river.

Monday         Tree Climbing & Mountain Biking    

In the morning we set off to nearby woodland on an exciting tree top adventure Traverse among the treetops on rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides up to 35 feet in the trees. You will be fitted with a climbing harness, given instruction and then trek from tree to tree high above the forest floor. After a picnic lunch we take to the mountain bikes to cycle through the local lanes and tracks of the Vienne countryside.

Tuesday        Canoeing

We travel to the nearby village of Condac where we will prepare for a 5km paddle along the peaceful River Charente in a choice of two or three man canoes or one man kayaks. We will descend several exciting weirs and travel along narrow overgrown jungle like backwaters. We stop for a late leisurely picnic lunch with opportunities for fishing and swimming. 

Wednesday  Horse riding  

We visit the local equestrian centre. After tacking up and practising a few rounds in the outdoor arena you and your family will follow our local guide on horseback as you head out for a promenade through the countryside. The hack will take you through fields, woodland and rivers! For those more nervous there’s the opportunity to take a leisurely trip on the horse and cart. For anyone whose rear end is up to it we can head out for another cycle ride afterwards!
