The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region
The Charente Maritime area of France is situated on the west coast between Nantes and Bordeaux. Charente Maritime nearly boasts as much sunshine as the French Riviera. This is a beautiful region of France where vineyards, oyster farms, beaches abound, not to mention historic places and Romanesque churches.
Safe family beaches with calm waters or endless wild sandy beaches, lined by sand dunes and pine forests, a paradise for nature lovers or watersports enthusiasts, we have them all ! These beaches offer a wide range of watersports ( windsurfing, sailing, pedaloes, jet-ski in Royan, etc) The aptly named “ Wild Coast ” - “La Côte Sauvage ” stretches out from Saint-Palais to Ronce-les Bains: famous for its waves, it is the meeting point of surfers.
The region is also famous for its cultural heritage: medieval Romanesque churches of all kinds abound. Saintes was one of the halts on the Santiago de Compostella pilgrim route. The old harbour and the city of La Rochelle, the citadel of Brouage, Rochefort and its maritime heritage, Saintes and its Roman ruins, the pretty town of Talmont, near the Gironde estuary are but a few examples of the cultural wealth of the region.
Last but not least, discover our typical products: try tasty Charentais melons, grown in open fields- Charentaise "galette", fish, shellfish -oysters and mussels are famous here-, salt from the local marshes, local wines, Pineau and Cognac ! The vineyards of Cognac are worth a visit.
Royan / Saujon area
Saujon, Royan and its region have a lot to offer: Romanesque churches contrasting with Royan's architecture of the fifties', beautiful sandy beaches, a wide range of sports, -not to mention the remarkable 18 hole golf course, situated in the pine forest-, lovely landscapes dominated by sunflower fields and vineyards, pine forests near the “ Côte Sauvage ”, bustling resorts or typical villages, and … its wonderful summer weather, as it is the second sunniest region in France.
One of the "musts", for all ages: the zoo de La Palmyre, one of the most visited places of interest in Charente Maritime.
Whether you want to have a relaxing or an action-packed holiday, this is the right spot !
