Charente-Maritime Area holidays

A treat for the taste buds

In Charente-Maritime, you can sample as-fresh-as-they-come oysters, mussels and seafood caught along the Atlantic Coast. The region is also famous for Pineau des Charentes and Cognac, just two of the traditional drinks enjoyed with meals. Take your pick from rustic markets, fine-dining restaurants and seaside cafés – all of which offer authentic flavours that reflect the area’s rich culinary heritage.

A shore thing!

The waters around these parts are said to be some of the clearest in the Atlantic, so you won’t be able to resist a dip! Kick back on the sand and sunbathe, give sailing a go or head out on a boat trip to beautiful islands like Île de Ré and Île d’Oléron.
