Le Boisdalon is located at the end of the “Route de Boisdalon” (dead end) in Yviers, Charente, France, on 45°16’29.5″N and 0°00’09.6″E at a height of 124 meters. It has 5,5 hectare (13.6 acres) of land. You will be far away from the hectic and stress of daily life. The perfect readers or writers retreat. On the other hand there are plenty of sights and activities around. At about 1 hour drive above Bordeaux/Bergerac it is also well-positioned to spend a holiday being able to discover loads of beautiful and typical French villages, events and landmarks. The house is over 150 years old. It all started as an old shed and was extended becoming a typical “Longère de Charente”. In 1966 the house was bought by a general of the French Airforce (Cognac) who did the first renovation and eventually became a well-respected mayor of Yviers for 18 years. Consequently nowadays it is known as the Mayors House. We bought it in the beginning of 2018 and after a thorough renovation (new bedrooms/bathrooms and kitchen etc.) with respect for the old Charente atmosphere, it now is our permanent residence.

Since the beginning of 2018 we (Lise & Bernd) are the proud owners of “Le Boisdalon” in Yviers, located in the Charente, France. We are enjoying it to its full extent. The house is on a hill of 124 meters high with an astonishing view and there is lots of peacefullness as it has no neighbors! We would like others to enjoy it as well.

There are plenty of opportunities to make trips: for example to Aubeterre sur Dronne (one of the most beautiful villages in France!) or go from Chalais by train to Angoulême or of course visit the beautiful city of Bordeaux. We are happy to inform you about many more.
