CHARENTE
THE REGION
The Charente is part of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region and is located in the southwest of France. The region is characterized by its rolling green landscapes. This lesser known pearl in France has no mass tourism despite the many assets that the region has to offer. The many medieval villages and towns determine the authentic character and are an ideal base for numerous excursions.
WEATHER
The Charente enjoys a maritime climate. This means that winters are mild and summers wonderfully warm without excessive heat. Ideal for a summer vacation.
SURROUNDINGS
The Charente knows how to charm every holidaymaker: sports enthusiasts, Burgundians, lovers of nature, peace and quiet, everyone will get their money's worth here. You can enjoy beautiful walks, cycling and mountain bike routes, horseback riding, tennis and kayaking are also possible. The many medieval villages, churches and castles in the region are well worth a visit. Aubeterre sur Dronne, voted the most beautiful village in France, is only a 15 'drive away.
