The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

The Charente Maritime has its own microclimate and its sunshine record is comparable to the South of France. The main crops grown here are sunflowers, tobacco and maize. It is ideal for cycling and walking as it is relatively flat.

The coastal area is well known for its famous beaches at La Palmyre and Royan. (And also the fantastic seafood restaurants). Inland it is much quieter with pretty towns such as Cognac, Jonzac and Pons. Saintes is 20 minutes away where you can hire your own boat on the Charente river.

Golf course nearby at Royan and Bordeaux is a short drive/train journey away for those seeking some serious shopping!
