Poitou-Charentes

 

Blessed with a seemingly endless Atlantic coastline, fine sandy beaches, abundant navigable waterways, the region Poitou-Charentes is very relaxing. Inland, the scene is one of serenity, with vast horizons and wooded valleys, the Poitou marshes, the tranquility of canals, and the Cognac vineyards.
