Mainxe: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Mainxe is located in Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac. The village’s religious heritage includes the parish church of Saint-Maurice, which was restored in 1868 on the remains of a 12th-century church. To the south, Mainxe is bordered by the Chemin Boisné, an ancient Roman road from Saintes to Périgueux. The Chemin Boisné was also a stop for pilgrims on the Way of St. James.

Choosing Mainxe as a holiday destination goes hand in hand with the intention of renting a holiday apartment.
