From neighbouring Vendée down to the north
bank of the Gironde
estuary, this smaller region of France is known for
its world famous cognac and its fresh oysters.
Its hours of sunshine rival the Mediterranean and the
150 miles of coastline are dotted with picturesque
small coves.
The thriving ports of Rochefort and La Rochelle are a
must see for their historical architecture, as well
as the colourful markets and street cafés,
while Royan’s chic
boutiques attract Parisien holiday makers
escaping to the coast.
