Enhance Your Stay: Introducing the Official Le Boisdalon App

24 July 2026 | News

We are thrilled to announce a brand-new way to stay connected and make the most of your holiday with us: the official Le Boisdalon App! For months, we have been working behind the scenes to create a dedicated digital companion for our guests. Designed specifically with your comfort and convenience in mind, our new mobile application brings all the best local recommendations, practical estate details, and insider secrets directly to your smartphone.

In the past, we provided printed welcome books and maps in your rooms. While charming, local details change quickly—restaurants update their opening hours, new seasonal markets pop up, and fresh local events are announced. By switching to a dedicated mobile app, we can provide you with real-time, up-to-date information throughout your stay, while also taking a small step towards reducing our paper footprint on the environment.

Everything You Need at Your Fingertips

Whether you are sitting on your private terrace planning tomorrow’s itinerary or out exploring the Charentais countryside looking for a quiet lunch spot, the Le Boisdalon App is designed to be your ultimate travel guide.

  • Curated Local Guides & Hidden Gems: Discover our hand-picked selection of regional highlights. From our favorite local bistrots and organic wineries to hidden hilltop picnic spots and peaceful walking routes, you will get access to the true local experience.
  • Interactive Directions & GPS: Planning a visit to Les Lacs Bleus de Touvérac or one of the nearby historic castles? The app seamlessly connects with your preferred map application to provide one-click turn-by-turn directions directly from our estate.
  • Practical Estate Guide: Access essential information about your stay whenever you need it. Check breakfast times, find Wi-Fi details, learn about pool etiquette, or browse our honesty bar menu without needing to ask or search through printed binders.
  • Direct Communication & Updates: Stay informed about local weather, upcoming village markets, special events happening around the region during your stay, or important estate announcements in real time.

How to Get Started Before Your Arrival

We recommend downloading the application prior to your trip so you can start getting excited about your stay and planning your excursions ahead of time.

  • Download on Google Play: You can easily download the app for Android devices directly from the Google Play Store.
  • Quick Setup: Simply install the app, open it up, and start exploring our local tips right away!

Return to the Gentle Silence of Le Boisdalon

With all the best local insights and practical guidance right in your pocket, exploring the stunning Charente region has never been more effortless. After a day spent discovering hidden treasures and picturesque landscapes with the app as your trusted guide, you can look forward to returning home to the peaceful embrace of our estate.

End your evening relaxing on your private terrace, enjoying a glass of local wine surrounded by the quiet beauty and gentle silence of the countryside.

Warm greetings,

Lise & Bernd
