"en Campagne" Camping and Gîtes . A mere four hours' drive from
Paris, the small hamlet of Essubras is part of the community of Saint-Christophe
and is located in the beautiful and hilly landscape of the Charente-Limousine in the
Département of Charente "en Campagne" (which means "on the
countryside").

Limousin.

up the night sky. More information on the nature around us at our page:

You will find the
hamlet of Essubras and our Camping and Gîtes, in the centre of Charente-Limousine
and the ‘Pays de la Mandragore’.
The pays de la Mandragore in fact, is more than just a beautiful place
to be. It is also reputed to be the home of a legendary monster… the
Mandrake (or as the French call it, Mandragore)! In fact, the Mandrake
is a poisonous plant that originally comes from Southern Italy and
Greece. It possesses a root, once thought to resemble the human form and
is said to shriek when plucked!

The total
"En Campagne" property
covers 1.5
hectares, and features a large area
for campsite.
The
main building of the complex is an old 17th century former farm
house. Which was enlarged and renovated after 1970 into a holiday
centre. We created, after extensive building and renovation works, in
2004 a welcoming and comfortable environment of high quality: a
gîte/apartment complex with campsite. Four gîtes (apartments) are in
the main building and two gîtes (cottages) are 17 th century cottages
retaining many original features.
