General Information: Welcome to Le Relais de Saint Preuil in Poitou-Charentes, France ... nestled between woods and vineyards offering charm and friendliness in our luxury guesthouse where we are pleased to welcome you. Our mansion house is an authentic 17th-18th century coaching inn, with state of the art renovation, ideally located in the heart of Grande Champagne, where the best cognac vineyards are to be found. The former coaching house was used for one century where the postmen and coaches could change their horses, have a rest and take refreshment.

The present owners, Christine and Jean-Luc Montembault, took over the property in 1999 and their aim was to revive it as a place where travellers could stay and have a rest. This estate, unique of its kind in Charente, consists of traditional construction materials such as stones from Saint Même for openings, oak beams, quarry stones and lime to rebuild walls, joinery for windows and doors.
