The area benefits from the second warmest climate in France which is ideal to either relax by the pool or explore the miles of golden sandy beaches of the Atlantic Coast, which include the award winning beaches of Royan and Saint Georges de Didonne, the nearest of which is only 25 minutes away. Alternatively, you can pursue one of the many activities available which include Golf, Horse riding, Walking or Cycling. The best wine areas are also within driving distance and these include Bordeaux, Medoc and St Emilion. Other places of interest include the oyster beds of the Marenne, the scenic islands of Re and Oleron, the historic ports of La Rochelle and Rochefort, and of course the famous Brandy distilleries of Cognac. For the children the Zoo at La Palmyre is a real treat.
