About Poitou-Charentes

The start of South Western France, Poitou-Charentes enjoys both a wonderful coastline, varied countryside, pretty villages and interesting towns. The climate of the region is one of the mildest in France, and the coastal area in Charente-Maritime is the sunniest part of France after the Mediterranean coastal areas. Poitou-Charente now forms part of the large new region known as Nouvelle Aquitaine.

Charente-Maritime is the most westerly department of the region and offers wonderful stretches of coastline, with long sandy beaches and fishing ports. La Rochelle is a vibrant port resort and has lots of top quality shops and lovely restaurants.

Not surprisingly it's more expensive to buy property in Charente-Maritime than in other parts of the department but if you can afford it, it is a wonderful part of France.

The river Vienne, along which there are lovely beaches, flows through the department and adds charm to many of the pretty villages along its banks. Poitiers with its theme park of Futuroscope, is the best known town in Vienne and a
