Saint Fort is surrounded by vineyards - great for walking, cycling and birdwatching. Nearby are the historic towns of Saintes, Pons and Cognac. Slightly further afield (1 - 1.5 hours) are La Rochelle, St Emilion, Bordeaux and the Ile de Re. There is a huge choice of sandy beaches from the small safe coves at Meschers, northwards to the long stretches of fine sand at Saint Georges and Royan, and then further on to St Palais and the beaches of the Cote Sauvage. Lots for children - fantastic zoo at La Palmyre, go-karting, sailing and other water sports. Great local markets and over 15 Michelin recommended restaurants within 20 miles. The village has a sports field and tennis courts, bakers, bar, chemist, general store and supermarket.
