The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Deux Sevres region

Ideally located in the heart of the Poitou-Charentes, the department of the Deux-Sevres remains an enigma, a land of secrets for many visitors. Those who have been lucky enough to discover its many tourist sites, sheltered within an unspoilt countryside, will tell you that it is well worth the journey.

The many attractions of the area include Poitiers a town with over a hundred church towers and full of surprises. Partially built on a rocky promontory, inhabited for over 2000 years each generation has left its marks. With the close proximity of the Futuroscope theme park, the nautical base of Saint-Cyr, the aquatic centre and its golf courses make Poitier a favoured destination.
The Ile De Re and La Rochelle with their extensive beaches on the Atlantic Coast are about an hours' drive away with the spectacular "Green Venice" (Marais Poitevin) only a pleasant 40 minutes drive. An hour to the south is Cognac with its several distilleries offering guided tours, including the famous Hennessy, Martell and Remy Martin. Wildlife parks, historical buildings, chateaux, museums, aquariums, golf courses and theme parks make this area the perfect choice for that very special holiday.


Melle / Paizay-le-Tort area

Fall under the spell of Romanesque art. The Melle region caters to every taste and every age. Sample the culture as you discover the Romanesque churches,the abbey, the historical villages and museums in the area. Alternatively you can opt for relaxation and fun at the numerous recreation areas and lakeside resorts.
For those wishing to sample the local produce a visit to the local markets in Lezay and Melle is a must where you can enjoy the ambience of a typical french market and can purchase anything from livestock to clothing.
