Welcome to

VINGT GRAND RUE

A quality Chambre d'hôtes / Bed & Breakfast   in the  POITOU-CHARENTE

20 Grand Rue’ was built circa 1835 as the 'Gendarmerie National', basically the local “Nick”. We still have some of the original jails, it was used as the Gendarmerie until approx 1910 and then the house was used by the area Notaire. During WWII it was used by the German occupying forces as their headquarters, the local commander actually lived here.   It was converted to a private house around 1955 and then became empty in the 1980's and left to the elements. There were several changes of ownership with no work being done until we purchased the building in early 2004.  We spent 3 years renovating the house trying to keep to the original layout as much as we could while introducing all the necessities required by the weary traveller such as en-suite facilities and tea and coffee in all rooms.  We are sure you will enjoy your stay.
