Localize the Poitou-Charentes region on the map of France
Situated in the central-west, this land, steeped in history & traditions, with each monument reflecting a lost era, is known for its rich and diverse heritage. Its stretch of coastline and plentiful vineyards create surprising and enchanting scenery and a wealth of things to see and do. The sun bathes the Romanesque churches and abbeys and the castles and windmills nestling in the lush greenery.
The Cognac vineyards have become the trademark of this region, and sit alongside its fine sandy beaches, dense forests, oyster farms and countless historical sights.
When you explore the green spaces and beautiful coastline of Poitou Charentes, you are exploring its history. Share in the French way of life and sample Cognac, the local "eau de vie" distilled and aged in the cellars on the verge of the Charente River. Each town has something truly special to offer: Angoulême, the capital of comic books, Poitiers with the unmissable Futuroscope themepark, Royan, home to stunning beaches and Belle-Epoque architecture and the charmingly traditional fishing village of La Rochelle. The Ile de Ré and Ile d'Oléron, boast an unrivalled variety of flora and fauna thanks to the sea air, creating some truly stunning scenery.
You cannot come to Poitou-Charentes without giving in to the amazing range of gastronomy on offer. Of course there is Cognac, also known as 'liquid gold', whose well-guarded secrets have made it famous worldwide. The oysters of Marennes-Oléron, cheeses and "cagouilles"- snails eaten the local way- stuffed or garnished with a sauce- are also highly recommended.
France Romantic Travel helps you uncover the treasures of this special region in the lap of luxury. We await your arrival to share in the moments and experiences which will ensure your stay is unforgettable. (If you fancy helping to create the famous "eau de vie", don't forget that distillation begins in November and ends at the beginning of March!)
