Le Moulin de la Baine

About

Le Moulin de la Baine is a charming restaurant located in the small town of Chaniers, nestled between Saintes and Cognac in the heart of the Saintonge Romane. The venue occupies a 17th‑century mill that has been lovingly restored, offering diners an authentic atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery and a sweeping view of the Charente River. The restaurant features a wide range of culinary delights prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can choose from three distinct dining rooms—an upstairs room that seats 150, a smaller 50‑seat space, and a ground‑floor room for 40—as well as a covered panoramic terrace that accommodates up to 100 guests and provides a sunny, relaxed setting for both lunch and dinner. In addition to everyday meals, Le Moulin de la Baine serves as a sought‑after venue for weddings, banquets, and river‑cruise dining. The venue is open daily by reservation, although it will close for annual maintenance from 31 October 2025 to 1 March 2026. The restaurant also offers gift vouchers and a dedicated wedding service team to tailor events to each couple’s wishes.
