A Perfect Picnic at Le Boisdalon (Guests Only!)

6 July 2026 | Picnic Spots

There is no need to travel far to find the perfect spot for an idyllic outdoor lunch. Right here on our estate in Yviers, you will discover plenty of beautiful, secluded spots to lay down your blanket. Please note that to preserve the peace and privacy of our grounds, this picnic experience is strictly for Guests Only! It is an exclusive privilege for those staying with us to enjoy the grounds completely undisturbed.

Whether you prefer the dappled shade of a large oak tree or a sunny patch of grass overlooking the surrounding Charentais countryside, the estate offers a natural sanctuary for a relaxed afternoon.

The Ultimate Estate Picnic

Gathering local delicacies from the nearby markets and bringing them back to the estate is one of the greatest joys of a holiday here.

  • Local Flavors: Pick up a fresh baguette, some rich local cheeses, and perhaps a bottle of regional wine to create a feast.
  • Complete Privacy: Because our gardens are reserved exclusively for our guests, you are guaranteed a quiet, intimate setting without the crowds.
  • Nature at Your Feet: Listen to the birds, watch the gentle sway of the trees, and simply let time slow down while you dine alfresco.

The Gentle Silence of Le Boisdalon

After your leisurely picnic, there is no need to pack up a car or drive home. You are already exactly where you need to be. Simply gather your things and take a short, lazy stroll back to your room.

End your afternoon relaxing on your private terrace, letting the gentle silence of the Charente countryside envelop you. It is the purest way to experience the comforting, restorative atmosphere of our estate.

Warm greetings,

Lise & Bernd
