These holiday
properties are all located in the Charente Maritime region of
south-west France, sometimes known as Poitou-Charentes. This area is
renowned for its wonderful climate with summer sunshine comparable to
the Mediterranean coast - with half the drive! Winters are mild and
bright and the Chateau makes a lovely winter escape within very easy
reach. Typically, the area boasts 2 600 hours of sunshine a year, while
the rest of France has an average of 1 700 hours of sunshine per year.
One of Europe's best-kept secrets is the excellent spring and autumn
climate in this area.
This is rural France where life goes on a slow and easy pace. You will
find no high-rises here, but can enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the Cote
Sauvage pine forests, islands and miles of beach all the while being
within easy access of lively seaside resorts and big shopping centres.
La Rochelle is probably the most famous town in this area, along with
Fort Boyard where the TV games are held. The Roman town of Saintes is
well worth a visit (stunning amphitheatre among other things) and the
old military town of Rochefort with its famous fortifications is nearby.
Royan is a relatively new town, having been blitzed during World War II,
but nonetheless boasts miles of sandy beach and lots of restaurants.
Visit the markets, chateaux, picturesque rivers, taste the local wines
and eat at a wealth of seafood restaurants.
Sporting opportunities are also abundant with cycling, golf, diving and
other water sports. Swimming is ideal for young children as the coast is
protected by the island; alternatively there are several surfing beaches
within a short drive of the properties. There is an excellent zoo at La
Palmyre and the aquarium at La Rochelle is wonderful. France's answer to
the Mary Rose is the ancient ship HERMIONE in Rochefort - well worth a
visit.
