A cup of coffee, a French House Tour and a little glimpse of life in the Charente.
Sometimes it’s a French house tour, sometimes a walk in the French countryside. Sometimes it’s a brocante find or sometimes it’s simply some musings about life in the Charente.
Welcome to Café with Katie – A few minutes together in the Charente.
Whether you’re dreaming of a home in France, planning your next trip or already lucky enough to own a little piece of the Charente, I hope you’ll find inspiration, practical tips and perhaps a few places to add to your own must-visit list.
So, make yourself comfortable… the coffee’s on.

Could you see yourself living here?
Watching French house tours is dangerous. One minute you’re admiring the shutters, the next you’re mentally arranging your furniture and wondering how quickly you could move!
If you’re thinking seriously about buying a home around Ruffec, the Charente, Vienne or Deux-Sèvres, I can help with that too. Alongside Hello Charente, I work with TIC Immobilier in Ruffec, helping English-speaking buyers find their own place here.
