The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente region

The Charente department is home to over 340,000 inhabitants and is located in the south-east of Poitou-Charentes. The countryside offers a unique and varied environment for walkers and mountain bikers from rolling hills in the east to a flatter landscape in the west. The northern area is wild with deep forests and peaks reaching to over 1000ft. The Charente has long relied on agriculture to fuel its economy. In the 18th Century, however, the department started mass producing its infamous Cognac drink, which proved extremely popular with people from all over the world.

The department has great roads down to the Charente and the Channel ports just a short days drive away. The department has access to Poitiers, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Bergerac and Limoges airports, all within 2 hours. Furthermore, in the centre of the department you will be able to fly from either Gatwick or Stansted direct to the Angouleme Cognac airport .

Angouleme is a small yet cosmopolitan city, with a fairly dynamic feel about the place when compared to the neighbouring Dordogne or Haute Vienne. It hosts a lot of events such its vintage car racing (the Circuit des Remparts) which takes place in September , the cartoon festival in January and a great music scene which just seems to get better every year . Both Cognac and Confolens have annual festivals which attract tourists to the area.

The Charente has an immensely varied countryside bordering 5 departments, famous for both its Cognac vineyards in the west, and its Limousin beef production in the east, which in terms of scenery are worlds apart. The valley of the Charente River meanders down from Ruffec in the north through Angouleme onto Jarnac and Cognac.

The Rouillac area

Rouillac is a traditional "market town" with all the amenities that one would require such as two large supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacy, doctors and a large outdoor seasonal pool. Rouillac is only 3 minutes away by car and hosts one of the biggest street markets in the region on the 27th of every month,a true spectacle. Nearby is the village of Gourville which has a baker, two bar/cafes and a post office/general store .
Puybossard is perfectly situated for exploring the coutryside and is blessed with some of the most stunning views.

In the centre of the village you will find a renowned Cognac producer,visitors are welcome and encouraged to sample not only Cognac but also the famous regional Pineau in the small bar and gift shop.

Horse riding is available at nearby Bouchards and all standards are catered for. This is also the site of the remains of one of Europe's largest Roman amphitheatres which in the summer months is occasionally used as an outdoor theatre.

The cosmopolitan beach resort of "La Rochelle" is 90 minutes drive away,with "Royan" even closer.
The rampart city of "Angouleme" is only a 20 minute drive,with its rich social calendar ,there are plenty of restaurants/cafes to be found amongst the winding cobbled streets .

Likewise the beautiful town of "Cognac" is only 20 minutes away and well worth a visit and a trip on the river charente is recommended.
