Shopping

The village of Mauprevoir (2 kilometres) has a small but well stocked supermarket with a butchery counter. There is also a boulangerie, pharmacy, bar & post office, thus providing most day to day needs.

Civray (15 kilometres) is the nearest large town, with a good range of shops, both traditional in the town centre, and out of town supermarkets etc.

Poitiers, an old medieval city and the capital of the region has, as you would expect, just about everything you could require. There are various markets not too far away, a few of them are as follows:

Civray- Tuesdays & Fridays

Gencay- 2nd & Last Thursdays & Saturdays

Poitiers- Every day except Monday

Confolens- Wednesdays & Saturdays

Ruffec- Wednesdays & Saturdays

L'Isle Jourdain- Saturdays, Wednesdays, Fridays

Charroux- Thursdays
