The western region of France stretches deep inland from the Atlantic coast and has some stunning scenery. Consisting of the departements of Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sevres & Vienne the climate is mild and temperate - the keynote is balance and stability with peaceful cities and a countryside with firm traditions.
The region is varied with the 'green Venice' of the Marais, where Poitevin transport is still by punt, to the popular sea resorts of La Rochelle and Royan and not forgetting the world famous cellars of Cognac! This is also an area with an original style of Romanesque architecture, as seen in Notre-Dame-la Grande at Poiters or at Aulnay-de-Saintonge.
