Make a holiday rental home or villa in Charente Maritime, France your home away from home

Charente Maritime, the coastal region of Poitou Charentes, France, has 300 miles of beaches. As you would expect from this region of France, the seafood is sensational, especially the locally harvested oyster beds, and is best washed down with a selection from the cellars of the local vineyards. A Charente Maritime property or some of the gites in Charente Maritime on offer here provide a perfect base for not only discovering the coast and beaches, but for cycle tours walks in the region.

Things to do in Charente Maritime, France

The beaches make taking a holiday rental in Charente Maritime worth it by themselves. However, they are only a tiny fraction of the activities on offer here. If you take to the water, the sailing is exceptional, and there is equipment available for all levels of expertise. You can sail to discover some of the islands just off the coast, including Ile de Re or Ile d'Aix. There are many international sailing events here, including the Whitbread Trophy which is contested in the blue seas of Charente Maritime. The waters are also perfect for fishing, with sea-bass, sea bream and meagre all available.

Inland, anglers have a wealth of choice. The Charente, Boutonne and Dronne rivers are all available for angling. Following the rivers inland, you discover some areas of incredible natural beauty. There are national parks including Port des Salines and Cabane de moins encapsulating salt marshes and lagoons. This is an important area for migratory birds coming from America, so bird watching is also popular.

Charente Maritime is an established centre for Romanesque art, and information is available at the heritage centre in Lozay.

Wonderful holiday in a perfect house in lovely area of France.

5 of 5
The house has everything that you need , with ample space and all set in a beautiful surrounding area. You could just stay at the house and be perfectly happy but if you did want to adventure out , we found so many things/places to go around 45mins away. I would recommend this property to anybody, the only downside is you don’t want to leave!

A Week in the Gite

5 of 5
Set in a very quiet location about 2.5km from the centre of Saintes. The Gite has everything one could need, with good size rooms, an outside area for dinning plus the use of the owners swimming pool. The owner were so kind and helpful and made us feel really welcome, we wished we had booked for two weeks not the one. If we return to the area for a holiday would stay nowhere else.
