Poitou-Charentes, W.France
The Poitou-Charentes region has a magnificent coastline - and is one of the finest destinations for countryside holidays.
The region's reputation is closely linked to cognac - the superb, refined, locally-produced spirit. Poitou-Charentes is a land of tradition, where skills are passed on from generation to generation: its inhabitants know how to wait for a good product to mature - and they also know how to take the time to enjoy life and to welcome guests. Thus, a wonderful holiday destination for any traveller.
