Local Area Details

The region is rich in culture and history, with Romanesque architecture all around. You can also enjoy the region's speciality foods in the numerous markets or by following the 'Route de Chabichou' (tasting goat's cheeses at the point of production).

The gently rolling countryside is ideal for cyclists who prefer their bike rides not too strenuous, and there are pleasant local walks. This is the best way to observe the varied local birdlife, which includes redstarts, golden orioles, hoopoes, and buzzards.

At the nearby town of Chef-Boutonne, the chateau at Javarzay is one of the most important Renaissance chateaux in Poitou, with park and fishing lake. About 20 minutes away is Melle, where you can visit the silver mines of the Frankish kings, and the triad of Romanesque churches, or stroll through the themed arboretum. Within 30 minutes' drive there are a number of zoological parks, a wide variety of museums, and golf courses.

A little further afield, but still within an hour's drive, the Marais Poitevin offers trips along the maze of canals, the town of Saintes has Roman remains and Mediaeval churches and offers boat trips on the river Charente, while at Cognac you can visit the warehouses of the major Cognac producers. At Poitiers, the Futuroscope is a vast theme park with attractions to suit all ages and special shows during the summer. On the Atlantic coast you will find a number of characterful seaside towns such as La Rochelle, with its fine port and towers, maritime museum and aquarium, or Rochefort, 18th century naval town with its imposing 'Corderie Royale' (rope factory).

For music and culture lovers, the region has a wealth of annual music and dance festivals, for example, classical music or jazz at Melle (late May) Saintes (July), or Angouleme (September/October); folklore at Confolens (August); or cinema at La Rochelle (June/July).
