Our Story

A family-owned French manoir in the heart of rural Charente, lovingly cared for and open for meaningful stays, creative retreats and thoughtful gatherings.

A Place We Fell in Love With

Le Manoir du Pontsec is more than a venue. It is a family home, a place full of character, and somewhere that has brought people together for many years.

Nestled in the peaceful Charente countryside, we were drawn to Pontsec for its timeless charm, slower pace of life and the feeling that this was somewhere truly special.

From the moment we found it, we knew it was a place to be enjoyed, shared and loved.

A Manoir with History & Heart

Built in the 19th century, Le Manoir du Pontsec is full of stories.

From original beams and handpicked interiors to antique details and peaceful garden views, every room carries a sense of warmth, character and quiet beauty.

No two spaces are quite the same, which is part of what makes Pontsec feel personal rather than polished or commercial.

It is elegant, but always welcoming.

Beautiful, but never overdone.

Opening Our Doors

Over the years, Le Manoir du Pontsec has been a place for family stays, shared meals, celebrations and unforgettable memories.

Today, we open the manoir for a limited number of:

  • Countryside stays

  • Family holidays

  • Intimate weddings

  • Creative retreats

  • Workshops

  • Thoughtful gatherings

 

We wanted to create a place where others could experience the same slower rhythm, connection and beauty that made us fall in love with Pontsec.
