Château de la Roche Courbon is a large château, developed from an earlier castle, in the Charente-Maritime département of France. It is in the commune of Saint-Porchaire between Saintes and Rochefort. Its name is just as frequently written Château de la Rochecourbon. The château is privately owned, and classified as an historic monument. The garden is listed by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France.

A castle was built around 1475 by Jehan de Latour, on site which had been inhabited since prehistoric times. In the 17th century, the Courbon family, which had occupied the castle for two centuries, transformed it into a more comfortable residence. More alterations were made in the 18th century, but it was eventually sold in 1817 and then abandoned. It was purchased in 1920 by Paul Chénereau, who restored the château and its gardens. The château is still owned and inhabited by his descendants.

"Bon accueil et bien placé. On peut tout faire a pied. Manque de materiel pour le ménage (l’aspi n’a pas de bras correspondant). La vaisselle est juste (Achat d’une louche) et verres trop justes. Sinon ca va.Proprietaire agréable. (On a oublié nos bonnets et il nous les garde si on repasse un jour. Merci)"

"La maison est très bien située, en plein centre-ville proche du marché, des commerces et de la plage. Le stationnement est facile dans la rue. Une belle maison de style qui a du caractère dans un quartier très calme. Très beau jardin. Les escaliers intérieurs qui mènent au rez-de-jardin sont très raides et ne conviennent pas à de jeunes enfants ou des personnes âgées dans l’état. L’installation d’une rampe de sécurité serait à considérer. Dans l’ensemble, nous sommes très satisfaits et nous...

"Short walk direct to beach. Comfortable villa with everything we needed for the week."

"Villa Roccia is great. Beach just across the road was fabulous for late evening walks…but the pool and hot tub area was the star of the holiday. The village has a couple of grocery shops with a wonderful boulangerie too. Everyone was friendly, especially the host, Carine. Wonderful holiday. Long drive from uk but French roads and drivers are so much calmer than uk, so it was stress free from Calais."

"Nous l avons signalé et montre à la propriétaire qui en gardant le sourire n a pas reagi"

"We went with 4 perons and 2 dogs to the wonderfull vacation-villa of Gilles. It was wonderfull. Beautiful garden, all was fenced (good for our dogs, so they could be free and save in the garden). Nice pool, big enough. There are plenty of seats to chill in the garden. Also inside it was perfect. You had everything you needed in kitchen,... The first day there was an friendly woman who welcomed us and worked for the agency. We payef by cash a deposit. The last day we got it all back, it was very...

"La Roche aux Bois is a beautiful house with much thought given to details such as the decoration and renovation of this charming stone house and garden . Our family of 12 enjoyed the peace and quietness of the house set in a lovely garden surrounded by palm trees and oleander. The house needed more equipment in the kitchen such as cups , sharp knives, potato peeler etc and it missed a guest book with important details of where things are such as bottle bank, banks, pharmacy, places of interest...

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette magnifique maison. Nous avons pu profiter de la piscine avec tout le confort de la maison. La plage de St Froult est à proximité de la maison idéal pour les châteaux de sable. Pour des vacances reposantes et en toute tranquillité cette maison est idéale. Les hôtes sont très agréables. Merci à vous "

"Nous venons de séjourner et nous avons eu la chance d’avoir du beau temps, nous avons été reçu avec énormément de gentillesse et disponibilité, la maison est très propre, fonctionnelle et moderne avec son espace extérieur proche de tout et au calme. Nous espérons y retourner bientôt.Encore merci à vous pour votre accueil"

"Hi Very great home :) We'll return in 2025 !"

"Lovely property that is really well equipped and very attractive. Very short walks both to a pretty beach and to Saint Palais Sur Mer which has a good selection of restaurants and shops. Great restful place. Lovely holiday😀."

"Le sejour a ete tres agreable, quelques petits dysfonctionnements au niveau du logement (clim, eau chaude). L acces aux installations du camping est top surtout pour les enfants. Bien situé, moins de 10 minutes a pied du centre de St Palais. Un peu cher niveau tarif mais tres agreable."

"We really liked the sites as it was convenient to get to La Rochelle and Rochefort. Fouras is a great town with lots going on; nice selection of restaurants. The pool was nice but people were not following the rules of no vaping aloud (maybe more/clearer signs or staff mentioning it to visitors would help). The bathroom was a bit smelly at the start but with ventilation that improved (there were no shelves in the shower area so that was not practical). We had plenty of towels and it was great that the linen was provided (and beds made before our arrival). very straightforward checking and helpful staff at reception. The nearby beach is covered in shells and not sands; it'd be nice if that was mentioned in the site's description as it is misleading to say the beach is 300m away (not really a beach to go to with children for example). Overall, we had a great stay and recommend the site."
