Villas, houses, gites, cottages and holiday accommodation for rent in Poitou Charentes, France

Situated in the south west France and facing the Atlantic ocean, Poitou Charenete is fast becoing a popular destination and attracts rich Parisiens.

The port of La Rochelle is a major landmark and destination for this coastal area. The magnificent fortress city holds many attractions for the tourist. There are two well know islands off the coast near La Rochelle, Ile de Re and Ile d'Oleron, past Rochefort. La Rochelle also has a large aquarium and what is claimed to be France’s largest zoo.

Royan, La Rochelle’s local tourist rival attracts thousands who make the most of some fine sandy beaches and a seemingly endless waterside fish restaurants.

The old naval port of Rochefort is interesting to visit and there is a major  project underway to build a replica of the frigate Hermione, the ship that took the French general La Fayette to the New World to fight alongside the Americans against the English in 1780. Fouras and Chatelailon are also prime destinations

Throughout the department there are numerous nature reserves, bird watching sites and a forest museum. The beautiful, wooded Saintonge area is full of history and an important centre of Romanesque architecture.

Just east of the Charente-Maritime is the famous town of Cognac and just south of the department is the major city of Bordeaux

Local industries are fishing, shell fish and salt while inland there is butter and eau-de-vie. The area boasts over 2,400 hours of sunshine a year.
