Take one of our Poitou-Charentes cottages to the south and you will find the Ile d’Oléron, famous for its oyster beds and popular with artists who value its extraordinary quality of light. Opt for traditional Poitou-Charentes gites further south and you may be close to the fashionable resort of Royan, bustling with life and bursting with attractive shops, bars and restaurants. Lovely beaches stretch from here up the coast to La Palmyre. Inland the towns and villages of the Charente boast many fine examples of Romanesque art and architecture, Renaissance châteaux, such as at La Rochefoucauld and Chalais as well as Gallo Roman archeological sites. Further east towards the Massif Central you come to the rich pastureland of the Limousin, with at its heart the regional capital of Limoges, famous for porcelain, and a pleasant place to wander among the half timbered houses and narrow streets of the old town.
If you are looking for Poitou-Charentes accommodation, we have a fabulous selection; chose from traditional Poitou-Charentes gites, cottages or self-catering apartments and enjoy one of the most beautiful regions of France with Just France.
