Each of the 4 departments possesses its’ own regional identity, largely as a result of its geographical location. The western most region includes both flat, grain-producing plains and coastal marshland – much of it a protected nature reserve. Inland to the north lies the celebrated network of tranquil waterways and lush meadow known as the Marais Poitevin, whilst further south the Cognac area is characterized by its wealth of productive vineyards supplying grapes for both the illustrious brandy and its aperitif close relative, Pineau des Charentes. Elsewhere, in northern Charente and Vienne, for example, you will pass through gently undulating fields of sunflowers, maize, rape and wheat. Throughout the region, the landscape also features coppiced woodlands of chestnut, oak, cherry, holly and acacia, lending colour throughout the seasons. Here and there, lone mature walnut trees stand like sentinels. The effect, whatever the season, is both beautiful and rich in its variety.

The market towns of Chef Boutonne, Civray and Ruffec are on the doorstep and tourist attractions of Futuroscope (theme park), Cognac and La Rochelle are within easy reach.
