If you are looking for a picnic spot that combines nature with a touch of local history, Le Site des Tuileries in Le Tâtre is a fantastic choice. Located just a short distance from our estate, right alongside the Galope Chopine greenway, this former 18th-century tile factory has been beautifully preserved as an open-air heritage site.
It is a peaceful, shaded area where you can relax, eat, and learn a little about the traditional craftsmanship of the Charente region.
Lunch Among the Restored Kilns
Pack your basket with local market finds and settle down at one of the on-site picnic tables. The site offers a unique backdrop for your outdoor meal.
- Open-Air Heritage: After your picnic, take a wander around the restored kilns and old machinery that were used to make traditional clay roof tiles until 1963.
- Perfect for Walkers and Cyclists: Because it sits directly on the Voie Verte (the local cycling and walking path), it is an ideal rest stop if you are exploring the countryside on foot or by bike.
- Shaded Comfort: The area provides dedicated picnic tables surrounded by nature, offering a cool, relaxing environment on a warm afternoon.
Return to the Gentle Silence of Le Boisdalon
After your idyllic picnic, the short drive back to Yviers is a breeze. Leaving the historic kilns behind, you will instantly feel the deep, restorative quiet of the countryside welcoming you back to Le Boisdalon.
End your day with a moonlit stroll through our gardens, or simply relax on your private terrace, letting the gentle silence of the Charente night soothe you to sleep.
Warm greetings,
Lise & Bernd
