Charente Maritime is on the Atlantic coast of France. Largest city is the historic port of La Rochelle. Best weather in all of France as well as wonderful shopping, museums, art galleries, Paleosite prehistoric museum at St Cesaire 5 kms from our village next to the mediaeval village of Saint Sauvant. Surf beaches and family beaches at Royan. Wonderful walks at the back door - spend a day getting lost in the oak woods( or take a compass!) or along the banks of the Charente river 5 minutes drive away. The Cognac grapes grow all around and visits to the famous town of Cognac and it's chateaux are a must.
