On one beautiful October’s day we had a little day drive through the vineyards to a beautiful small town of Jarnac. Charente is full of vineyards producing grapes to make Cognac and Jarnac is located in the middle of it all. Join our walk around the vineyards and the town and get that late autumn warmth from the video. This is why we love the rural France here in the South West.

We are Robert and Jyrki – Irish and Finnish artists living in Helsinki, Finland. With no renovation experience, but lots of enthusiasm and passion we take on the big challenge of renovating a townhouse in rural France, and enjoy the lifestyle it has to offer. We bring you travel, lifestyle, interiors, renovation and more. Get inspired by the French way of life in beautiful South West of France!

  1. Charming little town of Jarnac…( François MITTERRAND ) and it's magnificent vineyard…with its excellent Cognac naturally..Thank you both for this magnificent video of very sunny Charente.🤩😍🤩 from Burgundy (21)

  2. Très jolie vidéo sur la région du Cognac (avec une superbe musique qui l'accompagne). Je pense que l'hiver s'installe maintenant car les grues quittent la France en ce moment ; elles migrent vers les pays chauds … j'en ai vu dans le ciel de Charente aujourd'hui encore. Une autre visite pourrait vous (nous) intéresser : le Moulin du Verger (fabrication du papier) à Puymoyen. Je vous remercie pour vos vidéos qui sont très "poétiques".

  3. Merci pour cette belle et intéressante visite de Jarnac. Toujours heureux de vous retrouver tous les deux et d’apprécier les belles musiques d’accompagnement de vos vidéos ❤

  4. A post pops up from Charente Living. Come with us as we show you a little of the Cognac region and the town of Jarnac, A quiet 20 minute stroll through its streets and alleys along tow paths od marshelled water corralled one time to work the mill wheels ,now stationary , Bond warehouses of amber liquid maturing in their casks as their Angels Share is absorbed into the walls and air around them. Apartments overlook both still and racing flumbes of water as it decides to make its dash for the sea. All in a languid afternoon in France. Slainte.

  5. Thank you guys for the wonderful program showing such a beautiful region. I'll probably never get there as Australia is so far away. You open up a completely different world for me and I find that utterly delightful. l learned through you about where all that cognac was made. I had only heard of the different types. The fields with the vineyards looked so beautiful.

  6. I miss home so much.
    This part of France is the best kept secret of France.
    Been expatriated to L’os Angeles for almost 15 years.
    We’re currently plotting to move back to Jarnac and its area.
    I’m so done with big cities.
    Thank you so much for this short segment and great to have a current visual of what I left behind.

  7. Charente est charmant… your phone/camera is superbly used throughout, so both of you work the camera very well. Now, a sip of that golden ambrosia somewhere on a deck on the Charente in her flow, late afternoon breeze, the glistening glasses with perhaps a Hennessy, before the stroll to the evening repast… ah yes! Sublime. Thank you for the drone shot of the November vineyards in the gloaming after talking of them earlier… elegant, casual, historical and quiet – what's not to love?🤌💐
