The new mobilities

 

The Cognac region is no stranger to the evolution of activities using means of transport in keeping with our times. The challenge was quite simple: we had to find a means of transport that was fun, easy to use, but above all in keeping with the concerns of our present, the precursor of our future.

The scooter is the chosen means of locomotion ! It is electric, all-terrain, and relatively easy to handle, based on balance. They are rented by the company @Trott in Charente. There is no real age limit, as there are adapted models for the youngest (10/12 years old). There are different circuits and you can use them guided by a GPS; the circuits vary in length, but also with different starting points.

The first rental company, Trott in Charente, offers scooters with a battery in a backpack carried by the rider. As a sign of the interest in this activity, two newcomers have appeared this summer. One is located at Fontdouce Abbey, between Cognac and Saintes, and the second has been set up by the Martell Company, starting at their Galienne Distillery, a 9km circuit with a guide, which can end with a tasting. These last two proposals are based on the use of all-terrain scooters, but with an integrated battery; these are slightly more powerful machines, even if the speed is limited to 25 km per hour, but they are heavier to handle.

Whatever the case, this intergenerational activity will delight the explorer in you. The white paths, the paths between, and in the vineyards, breathtaking landscapes, and above all, the icing on the cake, the silent electric mobility will surely allow you to cross paths with deer, pheasants, rabbits and hares, without forgetting the numerous small birds of prey.

Still in the spirit of a visit in virtuous transport mode, don’t forget the electrically assisted bicycle which will also help you to cross the countryside off the tarmac roads in favour of the “white paths” winding between the various agricultural plots, or the canoe from Cognac or Jarnac opening up new and unusual perspectives on the built heritage of our beautiful region; Finally, for the more adventurous, but less pollution-focused, it is possible to hire petrol quads @5quads , with a guide, in the Grande Champagne area, notably in the lands of the Maison Boinaud.

Prices vary according to the duration of the tours, but there is no doubt that these activities, when done together, will leave you with unforgettable memories of the beauty of our region.
