The Charente is a delightful region. The coast has wide, long, sandy beaches interspersed with limestone outcrops, enchanting islands such as Olerone and Ré, a warm and pleasant climate and an abundance of un-spoilt nature.

The Charente hinterland has another profile, a land for history, pleasant rivers, the flat waterways of the “marais poitevins”, celebrated Cognac vineyards, it’s a region of plenty, for a wonderful holiday.
