There is also a cafe/bar, post office, hair dressers, the farmers co-opporative and the tabac/gift shop. On Saturday morning there is the fresh oyster seller. Chérac is in the heart of the Cognac and Pineau region and during your stay you can visit one of the local producers of Cognac and Pineau and sample the many ages and varieties that are available.
