The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

The Charente Maritime is basically the ultimate climate in France. It is reported to be the second sunniest part of France after the Cote D'Azur, enjoying over 2600 hours of sunshine a year. April to October is virtually guaranteed sunshine with frequent sunny days in-between.

The soaring temperatures of the South are now encouraging the rather "Savy" Parisians to the region where they enjoy just as much buzz but with a cooling sea breeze.

Celebrities including Jonny Depp head for the near by islands of Ile De Re and Ile De Oleron where there is stunning scenary, seafood, and plenty of night life. La Rochelle is a jewel in the crown with over a mile of restaurants engulfing the harbour.

The area is flat, so ideal for cycling. Cognac country is 20 minutes in land and the rolling vineyards and distillaries will have you tempted to a tipple!!

The Marias Poitevin is the "Norfolk Broads" of France and is a stunning day out.

The house is in a traditional village held in very high regard by the locals and is surrounded by sunflower fields.


La Rochelle / Surgeres area

St Jean D'Angely is an historical, vibrant town, with a twice weekly market, bars, restaurants and many other visitor attractions.

Cognac country with its rolling vineyards is only 20 minutes away. Boating on the Charente river is a must in Cognac and Jarnac with the world-famous Courvoisier and Hennessey distilleries on its banks.

The Marais Poitevin ( known as "Green Venice") is picture postcard perfect with its winding rivers and can be reached in just 15 minutes. From several landing stages in the various picturesque villages of this area it is possible to hire a boat (with or without guide) to explore the peaceful meandering waterways soaking up the wildlife and tranquillity and even to stop for a picnic.




Surgeres, famous for its butter, is on the outskirts of La Rochelle and has links with the TGV. A visit to the town's park reveals its chateau and the Romanesque church of Our Lady (Notre Dame).

Golfing is popular in the area with some of the finest courses in the region at Cognac (there’s also a 9-hole course at nearby Surgeres). Walking and cycling are a perfect way to unwind either in the nearby forests or just around the picturesque old villages.

If chateaux are your thing you will find a magnificent example 10 minutes away in the nearby village of Dampierre Sur Boutonne situated in the green valley of the river Boutonne. Its well-known renaissance chateau is built on an island in the river.



Royan (40 mins) has vast sandy beaches and an excellent nightlife. La Palmyre Zoo at Royan has a lot to offer all the family. Further up the coast is Chatelaillon Plage, with its 3km of uninterrupted white sands where the locals enjoy windsurfing and parasailing.

Poitiers, to the north, boasts the theme park Futuroscope, which is a firm favourite with kids and adults alike. Also Zoodesee, a zoo of European Fauna set in the heart of the Chize forest, is well worth a visit.


The ancient town of Saintes is 45 minutes away and lies on the main ancient pilgrimage route to Spain. The river Charente runs through the town, which has a good variety of shops and restaurants along side beautiful historical architecture.

Only 1 and a half hour’s drive away via the easily accessible A10 is beautiful metropolitan Bordeaux. The countryside around Bordeaux is packed with vines and is home to such famous villages as St.Emillion whilst the city itself is alive with fantastic architecture, gardens, restaurants, specialist wine stores and boutiques.
