16 October 2026 | Activities

Stepping onto the woodland paths of Sers reveals an extraordinary connection to humanity’s deep artistic past. Nestled amidst scenic forest hiking trails, the prehistoric rock shelters and Solutrean carving sites of Grotte de Québec offer a fascinating look into the lives of ancient hunters and artists who once roamed the Charente valley. Walking beneath the green canopy makes for an inspiring outdoor adventure during your stay at our boutique Hotel and Bed & Breakfast in Yviers. Positioned conveniently near Chalais, Le Boisdalon provides a refined retreat, offering welcoming Chambres d’Hôtes for travelers eager to combine nature with total comfort.

Ancient artistry hidden beneath forest canopies

  • Prehistoric rock shelters: Discover natural limestone overhangs that served as dwellings and gathering places for paleolithic communities.
  • Solutrean carvings: Examine intricate ancient rock art and sculpted friezes left behind by skilled ice-age artisans.
  • Scenic hiking trails: Follow quiet forest paths winding through the lush landscape and limestone cliffs of the local hills.

Return to the relaxed comfort of your private terrace

Following a refreshing walk through the shady woods, the pleasant drive back leads you directly to the peaceful embrace of our estate. Settle onto your private terrace to uncork a bottle of local wine or review your discoveries, letting the quiet Charentais afternoon wash over you.

Warm greetings,
