The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

On the Atlantic coast, between the châteaux and the castles of the Loire Valley and the Bordeaux vineyards, lies Poitou-Charentes, one of the sunniest parts of the French western coast. Its mild climate - 2,250 hours of sunshine per year - makes it perfect for a visit any time from early spring to late autumn. A 300 mile-long coastline offers fine sandy beaches and is backed by fragrant pine forests.

Within a short drive of the world famous St Emilion château the region produces some of the best wines in France with the local 'producteurs' are only too pleased for you to visit and enjoy a tasting session. Cognac (an hour away) offers a further opportunity to sample local world famous brandy.

Also an hour away is Royan which has five beaches sheltered from the prevailing westerlies, ideal for bathers and all those who enjoy building sand castles - there is also an opportunity to enjoy the local fish restaurants and visit Royan's world famous Zoo.

Aubeterre Sur Dronne, which is a 40 minute drive away, is "one of the most beautiful villages in France". It has a vast Monolithic church carved into the cliffs.

The Montguyon area

Montguyon itself was originally a fortified castle town, now it is a bustling market town and on the first Wednesday of every month the streets are lined with stalls selling some fantastic fresh local produce. There is a lively Monday morning market each week in nearby Chalais where the English community gather together. Another good market to visit is in Coutras, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Montguyon and the surrounding area offer a great choice of restaurants, bars, shops, bakers, butchers and banks.

On the outskirts of Montguyon there is a recreational lake (Beau Vallon), the water is very clean for swimming and boating. There is also a restaurant, snack bar and a children's play area.

Montguyon is ideally situated to explore the beauty of south west France.

In August there is a medieval celebration which is held every second weekend.

Close by there is a leisure park, "Le Paradou", at Parcoul, which is ideal for families. It boasts a beach lake with pedalo's, crazy golf, go- carting, trampolining, waterslide, billiards and table tennis to keep the kids happy and a bar and restaurant to keep the big kids happy. Admission is free.

Another local beach lake and restaurant at Guizengeard hosts jet skiing and Quad biking.

There is a Formula 3 race track and karting track and restaurant just opened this year, 2009, within 15mins of Les Chenes.
