Saint Preuil: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Saint-Preuil showcases its history at the Église Saint-Projet and combines it with woodland, winegrowing and trails leading to rural heritage sites. The church was built at the end of the 13th century. It was remodelled in the 15th century, when its bell tower was also built. The three upper openings in its façade feature modern stained-glass windows in various shades of blue.

Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Saint-Preuil is therefore specifically seeking accommodation in the village.

Culture and history

On Place Jacquaire, traces bear witness to former pilgrim passages towards Santiago de Compostela. Another way to discover the history of the village is the circular trail Circuit des Fontaines et des Lavoirs. It leads to rural fountains and wash houses; each water point has a historical and/or anecdotal description.

Nature and winegrowing

The Saint-Preuil, Les secrets de la forêt trail is one of the discovery routes offered by Grand Cognac through the LegendR app. In the forests of Saint-Preuil, fire-bellied toads and fire salamanders can be encountered.

The Domaine de La Bataille is now a research facility focusing on the challenges of climate change and sustainable winegrowing. New viticultural methods that benefit biodiversity and soil life are being tested there.

Wine

The Cognac Courtin estate is located in Saint-Preuil, in the heart of Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac. At Cognac Courtin, production extends from planting to bottling and includes, among other things, pruning and distillation.

Circular trails

There is a picnic table at the starting point of the Circuit des Fontaines et des Lavoirs trail.
