The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Deux Sevres region

There is easy access to the Atlantic port of La Rochelle and Ile de Re for chic seafood harbour restaurants, thalassotherapy spas, wonderful, unspoilt beaches, Aquarium, sailing and much more. For nature lovers visit the Marais Poitevin for a day of gentle punting on the canals and waterways. Nearby is the Lac du Lambon with sandy beaches and water sports. Niort and Poitiers for historic and artistic interest, boutiques and the famous theme park for the moving image - Futuroscope. Famous for Pineau des Charentes, the delightful aperitif; tastings are available at the many local producers or for something a little stronger visit Congac!
The Deux Sevres is officially the second sunniest area in France after the Cote d'Azure!

Closer to home, Bagnault is a beautiful medieval village on the Route du Chabichou - a gastronomique route of 200 km devoted to goats cheese dairies, organic farms and producers.

There are countless walks and cycle tracks with a wealth of wildlife and nature to explore. The area is delightful and well worth exploring for yourself. Bagnault and it's neighbouring village Exoudun has been awarded the status of "cite de caractere en Poitou-Charentes" only given to the most picturesque villages in the region.

Many many thanks for: a) your wonderful home; b) all your help and input over the two weeks. We really did have a brilliant time (I'll send you a couple of pictures) right up to the last day!! Thanks for all your help with the car, hopefully that's all getting sorted now. Good journey home!! Superb property, ideal for our three families. Excellent facilities, friendly and ever-helpful hosts. Barbecued most nights with wonderful sunsets then (amazing) starry skies - and, of course, the bullfrogs. -- Steve P. Burley, Dorset
