RUFFEC, Charente, Address available on request

A truly wonderful and rare property on the market dating back to the 17th century and probably beyond. In fact, the property appears on an old Post route map of the 1600s. This gorgeous, former Relais de Poste is in fantastic condition and has retained all its charm and character old oak beams, beautiful stonework, and a delightful fairytale stone staircase to the first floor.
