Charente Maritime Holidays
Small but perfectly formed, Charente Maritime has a sunny disposition and a hearty appetite. Well known for its cognac, oysters and friendly locals, this is a region that fully embraces the joie in joie de vivre.
Well let's face it, if you had 150 miles of glorious coast on your doorstep then you'd be in a good mood too. This is laid-back beach-life at its best.
You get a lot of sun per square metre in Charente Maritime, but the region has resisted the temptation to become a glitzy perma-tanned resort to remain refreshingly unspoilt and tranquil with a love of quirky experimental cooking "chaudrée", local fish in muscatel wine, or "tantouillée" a red wine stew with pork and chicken.
From beaches to salt marshes, amphitheatres to vineyards and walled cities to islands, Charente Maritime offers a variety of places to visit that will appeal to all ages.
