The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region
The region is very much agricultural, of which the bulk is vinyards for the production of cognac. The lay of the land is quite flat and ideal for cycling or walking. driving around the countryside is a pleasure as the roads are not congested. If we set off south towards Blaye, you start to run into the vinyards of Bordeaux where you can purchase the local produce from the side of the road. Also located at Blaye is a fort with a moat, the castle over looks the estuary of the La Gironde. Going along the coast northwest towards Royan you can visit the small but beautiful seaside Halmet of Talmont well know for its church . Royan has a large beach located next to the restaurants and shops well worth a visit. For a good day out there is the Island of 'ILE D'OLERON, with oyster beds and good surfing beachs. You can purchase oysters from the colourful huts at the side of the road. For those who have an intrest in the second world war, there is the silent village of Oradour - Sur - Glane, this village and the people, where distroyed by the retreating German army, the village has been left as it was.
