Gîtes & Camping Le Maingaud
Welcome to “Le Maingaud”
Holiday, nature and relaxation in the heart of the Charente
Discover "Le Maingaud" – a charming, small-scale family retreat nestled in the green countryside of southern France.
Among the trees and the song of the crickets, you’ll find a place where you can slow down, unwind, and simply be yourself.
We are Emily & Dries, and together with our two daughters, we moved from Belgium to this beautiful region in 2025 to make our dream come true: creating a small, welcoming estate where guests instantly feel at home. With love and enthusiasm, we’ve transformed "Le Maingaud" into a warm and peaceful haven where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors. Today, you’ll find two cosy gîtes, a charming mini-campsite, a swimming pool, and an open-air bar.
What makes "Le Maingaud" special? The friendly atmosphere, the personal touch, and the tranquillity of the French countryside. Here, holidays aren’t about rushing around – they’re about spending time together, enjoying nature, feeling the sun on your face, and ending the day under a sky full of stars.
