Situated close to the charming village of Chives, Sècheboue is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Charente-Maritime — a region renowned for its picturesque countryside, relaxed way of life and wonderful climate.

With mild winters, long, dry summers and an abundance of sunshine, Charente-Maritime enjoys some of the finest weather in France — second only to the Côte d’Azur for annual sunshine.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape, a relaxing family holiday or simply somewhere to slow down and enjoy the French way of life, the climate here makes it the perfect destination for memorable holidays and long weekends throughout much of the year.

At Greengates, we offer the flexibility to make your stay your own. Our individual gîtes can be booked separately, making them perfect for couples, families or smaller groups. For those looking for something truly special, exclusive use of Greengates is also available, giving larger groups and families the opportunity to enjoy the entire retreat together, with complete privacy and all the space and facilities to yourselves.
