POITOU CHARENTES

There are two faces to the unique region of Poitou Charentes - the inland and the coast. This well-preserved land is full of history, and contains a wealth of natural attractions. Take a peek into the inland by exploring the aquatic labyrinth buried beneath the verdant canopy of the Poitevin Marsh, or the vinyards of Cognac.
Vast sandy beaches bordered with pine trees alternate with limestone cliffs and untamed wilderness, stretching out over 450km along the Atlantic shore. Four islands protect the coast; the largest of these, Oléron and Ré, are connected to the continent by a bridge. The mild climates and untamed beauty of these islands truly make them a miniature paradise.
Abounding in natural attractions, historical significance, and traditions, this region featured prominently in the history of France. Hear the story of Charles Martel or Eleanor of Aquitaine.
This region also boasts excellent food and drink: Cognac, Pineau des Charentes, the oysters of Marenne-Oléron, Chabichou, just to name a few.
With so many irresistible attractions, you will be sure to have the time of your life whether on a family holiday, a trip with friends, or a romantic getaway!

CHARENTE MARITIME

There are many reasons why Charente Maritime is the ideal vacation spot: particularly fine weather, a significant architectural heritage (such as the fortifications of La Rochelle and Brouage or the numerous Gallo-Roman ruins) and the Islands of Aix, Madame, Oléron, and Ré. The many Belle-Epoque villas of Fouras and Chatellaillon are a testament to its popularity with long-term vacationers.
The Charente seaside offers a plethora of activities, from water sports and surfing to hiking, horseback riding or biking...
Another excellent feature of Charente Maritime is its many forms of navigation. Enjoy sailing on the ocean, or cruising peacefully down any of the four rivers that flow through the region: the Gironde, the Charente, the Seudre and the Sèvre Niortaise.

Finally, explore the many cultural offerings that tell of the region's history, voyages, adventures, and exoticism: Fort Boyard, the Aquarium of la Rochelle, the Zoo of Palmyre, the Lighthouse of Chassiron ... and many other attractions.CUISINEPoitou Charente is famous for its oysters of Marennes Oléron, Charente melon, local mussels, Ile de Ré potatoes, Charente Poitou butter, escargots, Chabis goat cheese, and Chabichou, not to mention the popular Pineau des Charentes and Cognac.
