GOLFING AND SHORT BREAKS

La Maison des Grands Bambous is fortunate to be situated in an area where there are six golf courses within an hour's drive.  For the really keen, Poitiers also boasts two courses but these are about 80-90 minutes away.  We are currently trying to arrange discounts on green fees for groups of four players or more, who come to play as a 'Society'.

We are also offering short breaks between September and May as follows:

Mid Week Breaks - Monday to Friday
4 nights for the price of 3, plus 1 dinner
Euros 110 per person based on 2 people sharing a twin or double room

Weekend Breaks - Friday to Monday
3 nights for the price of 2, plus 1 dinner
Euros 90 per person based on 2 people sharing a twin or double room

However, more flexibility can be accommodated between October and April, when it is less hectic and cooler.  Ryanair currently have some excellent flight deals from Stansted to La Rochelle between end September and February 2007.
