Get away for a self-catering holiday in the South West of France with a holiday in Poitou-Charentes.
With mild weather and a sunny coast, this mostly rural region offers local cognac and oysters. Poitiers, celebrated for its beautiful churches, is the capital. Seaside town attractions, such as La Rochelle Aquarium provide family fun, as does Futuroscope, a popular theme park. Aubeterre sur Dronne is known as "one of the most beautiful villages in France", and the offshore islands of Iles de Re and Oleron are worth a look.
Whether you opt to rent a seaside holiday cottage or a rural retreat or farmhouse in the countryside, we hope you have your best holiday yet in Poitou-Charentes.
