The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Deux Sevres region

Situated at less than 3km from La Rochelle, the ile de Re island benefits from a very high rate of sunshine hours, equal to the Côte d'Azur. The ile de Re Island is composed of ten villages, which respect the typical architectural tradition with over 70 kilometres of coast. Truly, it is the paradise on earth. Even the houses and the streets respect beautiful uniformity: White washed walls, green or blue shutters and hollyhocks… they really make this island a unique place. Finally, especially created, at the limit of the continent and at the border of the ocean, the ile de Re Island offers 87 km of cycling paths which permit many visitors to discover the villages, the hamlets, the beaches, the forests, the marshes.

The Médoc peninsula, with immense beaches on the Atlantic coast, fine, golden sand offered to the beach fans, charming seaside resorts, lakes and pine forest. The South Western French coast is privileged in its geographical situation and a recognised microclimate with more than 2300 hours of sun per year. Here, nature and sports are in dissociable. Everything is planned for a bracing and invigorating stay, such as walking on foot, on horseback, or riding a bike on the significant cycle tracks network and some excellent golf courses. This is also a paradise for surfers who come from all over the world to test their sporting skills. Bordeaux, is the regional capital of Aquitaine, and the most renowned vineyards such as Médoc, St Émilion, Graves and Sauternes are all nearby.

Travel inland from Bordeaux to Dordogne, one of the most beautiful natural regions in France, with slow rivers sometimes cutting through spectacular steep limestone valleys, riddled with caves, many containing world-famous prehistoric paintings.. A region proud of its gastronomic specialities (foie gras, truffles, cheeses, chocolate …), food lovers and gourmets will savour the traditions of good living and eating well. "Land of Prehistoric man", the Dordogne is bursting with superb prehistoric sites, which trace of the birth of human existence, such as the famous Lascaux caves. Nesting on a cliff, Nontron is famous for its hand-crafted knife with its pale wooden handle and carved motifs, it is the most ancient of folding knives. La Dordogne, land of contrast and of sweet living !! Places to discover : Visit the nice old town of Nontron : remnants of the town"s 13th century ramparts ; half-timbered houses and ancient quarters many houses dating from the 15-17th century. And the famous Périgord-Limousin National Park aswell as Villard caves, the Lascaux caves, and Limoges . Other activities in the Perigord include water sports, canoeing, tennis, horse-riding, horse-driven carriage, rides, walks and mountain-biking, lake and river fishing and golf..The region is dotted with small towns and villages, all typically French in character. Because this area has been inhabited since prehistoric times there is a wealth of sites and monuments to visit Brantome, Sarlat, Montbazillac, Bergerac, Périgueux, Les Eyzies (the Cro-Magnon Man). The whole region is dotted with chateaux or you can just relax and spend the day swimming in the many lakes and rivers, cycling through the quiet lanes or walking the marked footpaths.

The resort lies in the heart of Poitou Charentes region, in the department of the Deux-Sèvres. Only 650 kms from England, this region is a very beautiful, natural and unspoilt part of France, still largely undiscovered by mass tourism. The well known, ?Pays de Gâtine?, in the centre of the region is characterised by its vast fields and woods. The famous ?Venise Verte? (Marais Poitevin) marshlands are an absolute must ? punts can be rented to travel down these magnificent canals. The Marais Poitevin is only 45 minutes away and is a lovely day out. The medieval city of Parthenay is only some 15 to 20kms away, with its Aquatic Park, and where a number of festivals take place during July and August. You can enjoy canoeing, kayaking or try some windsurfing at the Parthenay lake. And closer to home are the Gallo-Roman ruins of Sanxay, a village which also has many cultural offerings during the month of August. The well-known Futuroscope Theme Park is only 35 minutes away from the villas of Les Forges and is definitely worth a visit. The magnificent historical port and town of La Rochelle is 1hr30 away and is very much worth visit. Other activities include water sports as the Southern part of the region is a large water sports area. Walks, rides, mountain-biking or regular cycling, and golfing all add to the list of the many activities which this area boasts.

Simple dinners can be had at the farmer?s table (Ferme Auberge) or you can go for the luxury of some of the castles in the area. Excellent goat cheese is produced in this area, where snails and melons are also abundant. The coastal areas of the Marais Poitevin being so close means that fish and oysters are freshly supplied.
