The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vienne region


An area rich in history and leisure opportunities. The property sits in the middle of the triangle formed by Limoges, Poitiers and Angouleme - all of them beautiful cities, each with its own special charm, and with a notable historical heritage. Regions south of the Loire generally have a benign climate and so it's reasonable to expect good summers and mildish winters.
To the west are the vineyards of the Charentes, of particular interest being Cognac, where visits to the various distilleries have own their special rewards.
The Charroux area
Charroux was, in the time of Charlemagne and for some time following, a very large religious and political seat of power. The tower that dominates the town and the cloisters are the remains of a huge abbey. There is also a medieval covered market ('Les Halles') around which are some ancient houses.
There are way-marked footpaths around the town and surrounding area. The Office de Tourisme is very helpful and will provide maps for the footpaths.
At the end of August - the last Sunday - there is a horse racing meet on the edge of town, flat racing and trotting.
Le Vigeant motor-racing circuit is about 20 km to the east.
