| The region is famous for its Cognac and Pineau production. There are many tiny villages and hamlets to explore. Quaint chateaux are common. Local delicacies include mussels in cream, goats cheese, honey and cake with angelica. Swimming, fishing, horse riding, golf, tennis and rowing are all available during the summer months in the local area. There are also many lovely country walks all year round. The landscape is gently rolling and ideal for cycling. |
| The popular seaside resorts around La Rochelle such as the beaches of Fouras and Chatelaillon and La grand plage on the Ils de oleron are only about an hours drive away and the historic towns of Cognac (distillery tours) and Saintes (roman ruins) are even closer. Futuroscope at Poitiers, the wine chateaux of Bordeaux, Angouleme, Niort and Rochefort are also all within travelling distance. There is the renowned animal conservation park at Royan and a superb new aquarium at La Rochelle to name just a few of the things there are to visit. |
