The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region
The Charante Maritime is well known for its exceptional sunshine record (over 2,400 hours per year), mild climate and tranquil way of life. The safe beaches of Royan are just 15 minutes away and it is here that you will find shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Inland, and life is much slower and relaxed and it is not hard to find medieval villages full of charm, or quaint working ports full of local seafood. There seems to be an endless list of places to visit and activities for all ages including days out to La Rochelle and Bordeaux. Why not take a wine trip to Cotes de Blaye; use the bac [ferry] from Royan to Le Verdon to visit the Medoc, or travel to the historic St Emillion and tour an estate or two! For Families, visit the many quiet beaches along the Gironde or on I'le Oleron, or the quick exciting surf on the Côte Sauvage. How about climbing/clambering between pine trees up to 40ft high it's great fun! At Jonzac there's Les Antilles for those rainy days [indoor swimming with wave machine etc]
