"Aquitaine - you won't want to leave" is a slogan of the local tourist promotion board, and it is true that many people fall in love with the area and start looking for somewhere to stay on holidays, to rent or to buy, or somewhere to live full time, perhaps also with the prospect of a profitable property investment to manage and produce a small income. Did we mention the food? The fantastic local cooking, the locally-grown fresh produce, the traditional and the new, and all reasonably-priced. It’s divided into four departments – the Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sèvres and the Vienne – and each has its own charms, character and tourist attractions.Īquitaine of course includes the fabulous wine-growing area of Bordeaux and some of the most spectacular scenery in France, but the regular visitor will enthuse about the clement climate and the 2,200 hours of sunshine each year, the atlantic coastline and the endless beaches, mountains, nature reserves, historical heritage with fortified towns and castles, the Belle Epoque elegance of the seaside resorts, the 18th century grandeur of Bordeaux, the paleolithic splendour of Lascaux and the ample evidence of the Roman and English eras.
Then there is the sheer variety of things to do and see in the Poitou-Charentes, such as leisure parks, golf and beautiful towns and villages. The region is equally and rightly noted for its great local delicacies too – for example cheese, honey, poultry, butter and snails – as well as fine restaurants, hotels, cafes and bars. The Charente Maritime has miles of long sandy beaches. A region well known for the food and wine, it ’s not only home to cognac, but also the aperitif pineau and some excellent local wine. The winters can get cold the further inland you go, but they don’t last long, and you can often expect a warm spell in March or even February. The summers are generally quite long, warm and sunny, though you can expect a few rainy days too, while the autumns are usually clear and bright.
Poitou-Charentes generally has the most sunshine hours a year in France outside of the Mediterranean.
